“Mouldy Hotel”

Gateway to York Hotel

18 Jun 2008

I stopped at this hotel for a weekend break. The room I was put into had mould growing out of the wall. It was so bad that fur was growing out. The receptionist moved us to another room which was ok but the interior was horrible. Orange bed covers and curtains no worse than a hostel. When I thought things could not get any worse I went to the mens toilets to see that a bin had been put under a leaking sink and that mushrooms from the damp were growing from the wall!!!

    • Disliked — Mouldy fur growing growing from the wall and mushrooms growing outside the mens toilets

“Great Value for money”

Gateway to York Hotel

12 May 2008

We bought something from ebay and had to collect it. We live in Berkshire and the items were in York! So we decided to make a little break of it and stay overnight in a hotel and go sight seeing the next day. I booked a room on late rooms for £39 and was a bit worried as to what it would be like, as it was so cheap!
But my worries were soon forgotten when we arrived at the hotel. We arrived late in the evening, but the reception attendent still welcomed us with a friendly smile and gave us our key. We got to our room, simple and clean with a lovely view of the gardens behind the hotel, we even saw a bunny hpping around in the flower beds!
Breakfast was average, but served with a smile, and there was a good selection of cereals and juices.

Overall the stay was pleasurable and we couldnt have asked for more at £39 b&b!

“Cheap and Cheerful”

Gateway to York Hotel

24 Mar 2008

We were looking for something cheap and cheerful around York. This hotel was exactly what we were looking for. This is not the best hotel around but it is well worth the money. We were put into a superior room and it was very nicely decorated and we had lovely views of the gardens. The staff were friendly the young male receptionist was very helpful he seemed to be doing the reception, bar, and breakfast which he did very well. We had a few problems with fresh towels and missing cups but he was quick to sort this problem out. The night receptionist an older woman was ok but seemed a little slow on the bar. The waitresses were very friendly and the breakfast were great. We did not notice any dirty plates left on tables they were promptly picked up by the waitress and male receptionist working. We did manage to view a budget room and we were glad to get the superior. The budget rooms looked cheap with orange bed covers and white chairs. There were a few problems with light bulbs not working, towels left in the hall way, and the towels missing. Overall though a nice hotel just make sure you get a superior room!

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — The views from the room. Friendly staff.
    • Disliked — Towels in the hallway. Dark hallways and missing light bulbs.

“Don't bother”

Gateway to York Hotel

27 Oct 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

We booked this hotel as part of an overall road trip for a relaxing break from London, where we live. The Hotel reception was a clear indicator of what was in store. Folded, crumpled pieces of A4 stuck to walls in a bland, univiting reception. We went to our room which was not at all what we would have expected from a 3*. Think B&B meets
squat. Blue walls, orange and brown curtains (matching bed cover) green carpet, lots of thickly painted white furniture, charity shop style cups, blankets on the bed. Luckily the bathroom was unlcean with hair and old shaving foam on and around the bath so we were able
to ask to be moved.

Our next room was fine. Clean, modern- white and brown. Even better tea cups and only 4 doors down. The bathroom was still not entirely clean and was in desperate need of modernisation!!

Breakfast was fine, nothing fancy. We had dinner one night which was actually extremely good. The young manageress was fantastic throughout, freidnly and helpful as was one other young female member of staff.

The hotel is mainly staffed by very young people. The last day of our stay saw a very frustrating breakfast. We came down towards the end of service. The staff had changed that day and were clearly much less capable. There were plates everywhere and no clean tables. We sat at one for about 10 minutes waiting for cutlery and plates. Then it was rudely 'plonked' infront of us. We were not asked if we wanted a cooked breakfast or a pot of tea. We waited for a further 20 minutes before asking if we could have one!! They looked at us as if we were rude!!

To sum up, I wish we had booked a hotel actualy in York. I only booked this hotel as breakfast was included. The parking is fairly hard to find in the centre and the hotels would have been more efficient and clean. I felt very sorry for the 2 members of staff here who were clearlt running the place alone and were the only capable members of staff!
