"Really smart hotel, great staff. Breakfast was ok, but cooked items kept in casserole dishes with lids on, so difficult to serve yourself and hash browns were soggy. Great location for touristy stuff or shopping in York."

Radisson Hotel York

Radisson Hotel York

8/10 Good
"Good place to stay for a one night stay. Very close to the city centre, less than a ten minute walk to York Minster and so a good base for our trip. Nice clean rooms, good size. Bathroom was also clean and bright. The kettle was very mouldy though which was a shame so couldn't use this. The car park is also very very small and compact and didn't seem as secure as expected as the barriers are left often."

"Great location, nice hotel. Breakfast was pretty good. Car parking was limited, only downside was the workman taking scaffold down by the window at 8am. Would have been nice to be warned that this was happening. Overall, nice hotel. Would use again."
