Top South Bank Hotel Reviews

Roomzzz York City

10/10 Excellent

"Great location with beautiful views! We loved the coffee machine and croissants in the morning. Our bed was comfortable and the bathroom was a great size. The whole room was large actually! The washer and dryer availability was SO helpful too. We were so glad to have air con (& lifts) as well. Having to use your key card for the lift was kind of annoying, but we got used to it. Overall excellent stay!"

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly

8/10 Good

"The room was well furnished although storage space was a bit limited. There was no glass in the bathroom. The staff were helpful and friendly. They answered my questions cheerfully and patiently. The breakfast was okay. There was a good range of choice but the hot food varied in quality and temperature. The hotel is well positioned. There is good access to the city centre and the area is well served by public transport."

The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters

8/10 Good

"On the one hand, this place needs a makeover. It's dated and needs some sprucing up. However, the place is super comfortable, the English breakfast is amazing, and the location is awesome. The staff was amazing, they helped us through a rough car rental issue. Great place to stay for one or two nights and get to know York."

ibis Styles York Centre

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely surprise! The room was excellent value for money. Although it was on the smaller side, it was very clean, thoughtfully designed, and extremely comfortable, with everything we needed for our stay. The bathroom was spotless, and the shower was great. The location was also excellent—an easy walk to the train station, with plenty of local restaurants and pubs nearby, and just a short walk into the center of town. We were really pleased with our stay and would happily stay here again."
