Radisson Hotel York

8/10 Good
"The hotel is very well situated from the station and town centre. Breakfast was very good. Standard room was ok quite small although king bed. Our only complaint was it was so noisy from the street, shouting in the night and the refuse lorry came every morning at 5am so if we stayed again we would ask for a room overlooking the river side not the street. The hotel should look at visitors who are staying more than one night and offer rooms accordingly we stayed 3 nights and should have asked to be moved."

"Great location, nice sized room and had everything we needed. Useful to have a fan! Pool and leisure facilities on site was a bonus and easy to join for breakfast each morning. We found it easy to find the hotel and park our car and then took the bus into the city centre each time which was very simple and quick."
