Top South Bank Hotel Reviews

ibis Styles York Centre

8/10 Good

"Great locations close to the main "old town" (10 mins from train station), but away enough to be quiet and peaceful (even tho we stayed on Sat night). Nicely decorated and staff was great. Cafes and restaurants close by"

Radisson Hotel York

8/10 Good

"The hotel looked great and very well kept, it was easy enough to check in without assistance from the staff, although navigating to the room was a little bit confusing to begin with. The only negative would be the parking area, there aren’t many spaces so we were unable to park on the premises. Our only other option was a nearby NCP garage costing £40 for overnight parking, which is double the hotels fee."

The Yorkshire

8/10 Good

"Friendly and helpful staff. Clean room and facilities. Service and food in the Pickled Sprout was excellent too. Compact double room that was very warm even with windows open and two fans. Be aware the parking is very limited and the recommended multi storey is a few minutes walk. Worked well and good value for a one night stay."
