My colleagues and I stayed at Marmadukes for a conference a few weeks ago and thought it was an excellent choice of venue. It was really stylish and individual. The hotel’s location was handy for the city centre and there was a free shuttle service which collected any of us who came by train. The food was all outstanding too – we had a buffet, an evening meal and breakfast.

I’m planning to take my wife there for her birthday in May and tie it in with a trip to York Races which I think is quite easy to get to from the hotel.

Plus points for me:

Great breakfast delivered bang on time to my door
Fast broadband in my room
Comfortable bed
Fast, efficient check-in staff

On the downside:

Limited parking – some of the other delegates had to park in car parks in town.

We have just returned from a three night stay at Marmadukes Hotel which overall was good but many details need to be addressed to warrant the very expensive price. Details such as the hotel assured us of a place for the car which was sometimes available sometimes not with a lot of switiching cars about by the staff. In the room little details were lacking like no paper handkies or flannels the chambermaid did as little as possible not even emptying glasses or cleaning cups from the day before, with the tea and coffee tray there were no biscuits, relaxation suite only has two gym machines to use so if there are more than two people you have problems. Generally we enjoyed it and the food was excellent in the restaurant. Just needs to address the above problems.

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff, great restaurant, happy stripped cat called Mark I think! Highly recommended for a special trip to York and a real treat.

The hotel has a great location and is a very nice building. It looks like some sort of Victorian mansion, but is not at all stuffy or old fashioned when you get inside and see how it has been done out. I recently stayed there for one of their golf weekends and thought it was pretty good value for money. Price included room, 3 course meal in the restaurant and full english breakfast in the morning also price of golf and transfer to and from the course. Found it served our purpose very well. The hotel is pretty handy for having a drink in the centre of York and is walking distance to the Minster and other sights. Have stayed in hotels of this grade all over the UK for golf and business I found Marmadukes to be up there with the best of them. Food exceptional too.
