Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms are compact — The Standard Twin and Triple rooms are functional but not spacious – fine for short stays, less so for long ones.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00, so plan arrival accordingly – late arrivals may need to arrange ahead.
  • Rating below area average — With an overall score of 7.4 versus York's average of 9.8, this hotel isn't the top choice in town – but it offers decent value.
