Top National Railway Museum Hotel Reviews

The Grand, York

10/10 Excellent

"1st Class"

Radisson Hotel York

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay thank you. Location excellent, rooms spotless and very spacious"

Moxy York

8/10 Good

"Great location. Comfortable Miss having shelves or drawers of any sort to organize our clothes. A couple hangers in a wall, that’s it."

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly

8/10 Good

"The room was well furnished although storage space was a bit limited. There was no glass in the bathroom. The staff were helpful and friendly. They answered my questions cheerfully and patiently. The breakfast was okay. There was a good range of choice but the hot food varied in quality and temperature. The hotel is well positioned. There is good access to the city centre and the area is well served by public transport."

Malmaison York

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the hotel - excellent experience. Only downside was that the lights in thee room were on a sensor and were constantly on/off, which was an bit of a pain. Great location for the station and walking into town."

Hotel Clementine

8/10 Good

"Le personnel est très accueillant et attentionné. La propriété ainsi que l'intérieur est très propre. J'ai été un peu déçue car je n'ai pu avoir la chambre spécifique que j'avais réservée car il y avait un problème avec la douche. On m'a offert une autre chambre mais il n'y avait pas de fenêtre. Il faisait donc chaud. Le déjeuner était correct mais petite portion."

The Minster Hotel York

10/10 Excellent

"Only fault was the stairs as it has no lift, otherwise it’s a lovely hotel and have stayed several times before"

The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters

8/10 Good

"On the one hand, this place needs a makeover. It's dated and needs some sprucing up. However, the place is super comfortable, the English breakfast is amazing, and the location is awesome. The staff was amazing, they helped us through a rough car rental issue. Great place to stay for one or two nights and get to know York."

ibis Styles York Centre

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely surprise! The room was excellent value for money. Although it was on the smaller side, it was very clean, thoughtfully designed, and extremely comfortable, with everything we needed for our stay. The bathroom was spotless, and the shower was great. The location was also excellent—an easy walk to the train station, with plenty of local restaurants and pubs nearby, and just a short walk into the center of town. We were really pleased with our stay and would happily stay here again."
