Top hotels in Rawcliffe
Radisson Hotel York
Room was a little bit small, the teaspoon was dirty, and the choice of tap for the bathroom I don’t think it is the right one, but despite the negatives comments, I did have a nice stay.

Hilton York
Room comfortable with nice toiletries, staff very polite and helpful.The hotel is right in the heart of York with everything a short distance away. If you’re using the valet parking service it’s £35 per night and not £30 as stated on Expedias website. All in all a very pleasant 2 night stay.
