Malmaison York
Great Family Room was like having your own apartment. Breakfast was nice, bacon and black pudding were a little over done. Shower could have been warmer. But overall great stay will definitely stay again.

An excellent array of selections. Staff were very quick and efficient in clearing tables at busy times. This was our 5th visit to this hotel. We keep coming back. That's the best recommendation i can give.

The Queens Hotel
I had a lovely complimentary upgrade to a superior room. Just not superior enough. No nespresso machine just sachets of Nescafé and a gritty kettle. No hairdryer until I had to ask for one. No peppermint tea in the entire hotel?! The room was lovey and big, huge comfy bed but lacked important details ...
