Top South Bank Hotel Reviews

The Milner York

10/10 Excellent

"Really good stay, gorgeous hotel"

Novotel York Centre

10/10 Excellent

"We cannot rate the Novotel highly enough, the staff are super friendly and efficient. Excellent breakfast, we also ate at the restaurant one evening, again a very enjoyable experience. One of the few places we have stayed that has a bar lounge you actually want to use. Very convenient location just a 10 minute stroll from town."

Moxy York

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, nice comfy beds and pillows. Conveniently located centrally but not in a noisy area. Apparently we could have had a free drink but we're running out the door to meet friends and got in late so completely forgot. Coming back in near midnight the vibe inside was lovely, people filling the large tables and nice lighting. Will use again."

Roomzzz York City

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed for one night but will definitely be staying again. The room and communal areas were spotless. The room was really big. Had a lovely little kitchen area with all the essentials. There was tea coffee and hot chocolate available 24/7 and croissants for breakfast. The location was great, easy to walk into the centre. Would highly recommend."

Elmbank York, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"I really enjoyed my stay but they lost a star due to more pros than cons sadly. Pros... Comfy bed Cosy room Gorgeous decor Delicious breakfast Lovely staff Good location Quiet location Late breakfast Cons... Squeaky floorboards/noisy neighbours/thin walls (maybe a room higher up would help with that) Expensive parking Toilet fan takes ages to go off! No coat hooks Mirror in bathroom only fit for someone 7ft tall Tiny shower Wardrobe door can't open fully I would say however that the staff and comfy nature of the hotel outshone all the cons. I just wanted to list them for other travellers to be aware of when choosing their rooms. Pros are... Comfy bed Cosy room Gorgeous decor Delicious breakfa"
