10/10 Excellent
"We had a great time here, the staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was nice and clean and comfortable. The hide a bed of course was very springy but that’s to be expected with a hide a bed haha. The only problems we had were the lack of drip coffee pot since we aren’t espresso drinkers, which the house keeper said she was in the process of getting them in the rooms. Our other problem was my fault for not requesting a lower floor when booking the room, we were up on the second floor and had lots of luggage so I had to haul it all up and down. So if you don’t do stairs well or will have lots of luggage, make sure you stay in the hotel or request a lower floor in the cloisters. The location is great since it’s off the Main Street it’s not too loud at night but it’s still nice and close to the bridge to go into the centre of town. I would definitely come stay here again if I’m back in York."
