Walking distance to train station and city... good location.
Property itself is a little tired, curtains fell down when we tried to pull them across in our room.
5 flights of stairs to the room, and 6 down to breakfast, no lift.
Staff friendly and attentive in the breakfast room and a decent but basic breakfast.

The room was awful!! The girl on reception was lovely and made some repairs while we were out on Saturday but I did not expect toilet seat that didnt fit and a WC that moved when you sat on it and black mould in the bathroom! The curtains didnt have enough rings, bedside lights didnt work and the electrics were mainly on an extension lead that I very much doubt had been Pat tested! Should have all been fixed before the room was let!

The staff were super helpful all times..The breakfast was superb.
Place was clean and cosy!
As I was a little later than planned the front desk made sure I was still available and double checked to make sure I was still here!
Great customer service - wouldn’t hesitate to recommend people staying at the location
The staff members were wonderful hosts… helpful, polite, and professional. The breakfast was delicious and served in a delightful space. The Holmwood House is a great value.

The hotel was fine but the bed had springs sticking out everywhere completely worn out worst bed ive ever had in a hotel
close enoigh to York station, easily walkable to centre of town. few pubs in walking distance. room was perfect, decent sized shower. will use whenever i'm back in York.
We stayed 2 nights on a short break to York on a budget.
It was about a 15 min walk into the center of York which was perfect for us and a 10 min walk to Delrio's Italian restaurant which we would highly recommend
The property was clean and the staff were pleasant.
It is worth noting that there is an an extra £10.00 a day charge for parking which is highlighted when booking and is a fraction of the cost of the public carpark charges
Booked for a 2 night stay in a luxury room with en suite and 4 poster bed however that’s not what we got
When we arrived we where given a standard double which was the cheaper rate room after a chat at reception it appears hotels.com sold me a room that wasn’t available so nothing more anyone could do
I was offered a refund for the difference but Iv been home for a week and still nothing so now Iv taken the mater up with the booking site
Hotel was very dated and not the cleanest of places but location wise it was 5 minutes to the train station 10 minutes to town and the breakfast was decent
We stayed on a very warm weekend and there was no air con or a fan available making it impossible to sleep
Would I stay here again simple answer is no
A late booking ahead of a 8:30 pm arrival. Excellent service provided over the phone, followed up with text and email to make sure that I’d received instructions of how to access the hotel and my room. A comfortable night’s sleep. Easy walk to city Centre.

They didn't have my booking on the system so checking in was not great. Booked breakfast but don't serve that until 8:15 which is not ideal when away on business.
I got the luxury ensuite. The bed, whilst big, was very uncomfortable and was very firm. Additionally me and my partner are quite heavy, and the slats on the bed felt like they were at risk of giving way. Also the plug sockets lacked usb charging ports which created a pickle for us as we needed that yo charge our phones for a long drive the next day. We both felt like a travelodge or premier inn wouldve probably been a better idea. The staff were friendly and the bath was very nice though.
