Top National Railway Museum Hotel Reviews

Malmaison York

10/10 Excellent

"Pretty good! A smorgasbord of delights at breakfast, humongous bed to sleep in and we opted out of getting our room cleaned so we’re given 2 £7.50 drinks vouchers for the bar, what a result. Would definitely stay again if visiting York."

The Minster Hotel York

10/10 Excellent

"Entirely satisfactory three-star with the exception of the automatic mirror light in the bathroom which turned itself on and off randomly making it necessary for me to completely shut down the lighting (remove the key card) at night."

The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for two nights in one of their superior rooms, it was very clean and had everything we needed, the bed was very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, Breakfast was excellent, great choice, well presented and something for all tastes Will be happy to recommend this hotel"

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly

10/10 Excellent

"The imcluded breakfast was excellent. Room was clean, quiet and spacious. Was in walking distance to everything we wanted to see and visit. Had a great stay!"

Hotel du Vin & Bistro York

10/10 Excellent

"I enjoyed my stay at the Hotel du Vin. Christina at the front desk and Adam, one of the general managers, were particularly friendly and helpful in offering suggestions of places to go, reserving taxis, and helping with luggage. Although the property does not have a lift, the staff was happy to help carry luggage. I was in a suite on the third floor, up 37 stairs, so that was very helpful!"

Moxy York

10/10 Excellent

"Very convenient for walking to the desired attractions and food. I had breakfast included in. It was a very good breakfast with lots of selection."

ibis Styles York Centre

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, snug and maybe a little extra needed for hanging clothes, bathroom modern and also very clean. Only real moan was the lighting, which was not great and due to aesthetics I feel! Had little to do with staff and they were fine. Did not use the bar. Had breakfast on our first morning and no complaints, though did think £14 each was a little steep."

No.1 by GuestHouse, York

10/10 Excellent
