9. No.1 by GuestHouse, York

Clifton, 0.6 km from York Observatory

"The whole hotel is incredibly dirty and run down. There were hairs all over the bed and floors, stains on the walls, and peeling paint everywhere. The staff were incredibly kind and friendly, and whilst orders arrived incorrectly each day at breakfast, the food was tasty. On the Thursday night, the music from the bar was so loud until midnight, that I slept with earphones in. This is definitely not at a 4* level, I suspect there are much better options around York."

Top York Observatory Hotel Reviews

The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters

10/10 Excellent

"The location was lovely against the river the restaurant was good a day the breakfast first class"

The Milner York

10/10 Excellent

"The historical building, staff, location"

Hampton by Hilton York

10/10 Excellent

"The Hotel was modern, clean with good size rooms and the A/C worked well at all hours not centrally controlled or on timers as other hotels we’ve experienced in this trip. The location has great access to the train station and close enough to walk to the centre of old town. The breakfast was good with plenty of selection."

The Churchill Hotel

8/10 Good

"Every staff member was very friendly and always said morning or hello when seeing us. Although parking is expensive, it is a lot cheaper in comparison to everywhere else in York. Our room was stylish and clean, however was boiling even with the fan from the wardrobe and with the window open each night, couldn't have imagined staying there during the heatwave."

Malmaison York

8/10 Good

"We had a very nice room looking at Yorkminster. Really comfy bed and good night’s sleep. Everything necessary in the room. Would go again!"

DoubleTree by Hilton York

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel clean and today . The room was large and clean.breakfest was brill but the restaurant was expensive and not alot of choice on the menu. But our stay was very good."

The Grand, York

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was beautiful Staff were excellent Clean and beautiful Suite was lovely and clean, bed was so comfy. Weird though no table and chairs to eat in room ( plenty of room for one) Sofa and 2 chairs not sure why for 2 guests. Tv sound was very poor needs an upgrade Overall great would stay again. Lovely location for town"

Dean Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, lovely rooms. The food was excellent and the staff were warm, friendly, and helpful."

Impossible Motel

8/10 Good

"My wife and I stayed in a suite on the second floor with a stand alone bathtub. The bath was a great feature but for the opulence of the room you'd expect a bigger sink (One of the tiny rectangular ones) not really in keeping with the standard and price. The bed was extremely big and comfortable, one of the best hotel beds we've stayed in. Location was extremely central but outside noise could be an issue for some (they do provide earplugs) The wifi was poor but that was a minor complaint. Overall it's an interesting place to stay for a night but it's overpriced for what it is."
