Okay hotel, but not a luxury stay by any stretch of the mind. The reception and common areas have obviously received a very nice renovation, but the room itself was ok only, and there was unfortunately an unpleasant humid smell emanating from the bathroom throughout our stay. Breakfast buffet was ok but not amazing and amenities were nothing special. On the other hand, the room was quiet and the bed was comfortable.

Expensive overall

The service from the staff was excellent but the room was poor quality overall. This was not through any fault of the staff or cleaning but some design flaws like a poorly designed level access shower so drain smells would come up as there was no trap. Also the mattress was really hard. The main hotel and gym/spa area was lovely though.

Beautiful original Victorian hotel, bed rooms were well equipped, clean and modern facilities. My only criticism would be they were rather bland & a statement wallpaper as a feature wall or in the panelled areas would have lifted them to a different level!

Air fryer.

On arrival we were greeted well and directed to our room where we were first struck by the heat. I tried to activate the air conditioning in the room but it would not turn on. It was faulted. This was reported to reception who assured us an engineer would attend to it. On our return later that night, the A/C was still not working but I noticed a huge Dyson fan was provided. Unfortunately this did not have a remote with it so our options were full speed (noisy hurricane) or off. Sadly the remote for the TV was also absent. First night was akin to being in an air fryer. The A/C fault was reported again the following morning along with the lack of remotes. On our return that evening, the remotes had been provided but the A/C was still not working. It was clear that on a Saturday night it wasn’t going to be fixed. A room change would have been very welcome but it wasn’t offered.

Liked: Staff & service

The staff and lounges were beautiful but the room was very small, dark with lots of faults including a cracked toilet seat which is very unhygienic. Tiny window overlooking the train station roof and one double glazing panel was missing. Lots of areas with paint missing and bathroom door that wouldn’t close and had a big area of white filler, probably where the handle had been. Very disappointed with room.

Amazing hotel! Conveniently located just next to railway station. Close to York’s historic town centre. Milner York is a very elegant hotel with great leisure centre, bar and lounge area. There’s a Beautiful cantilevered stone staircase. Would recommend 100%.

Great staff & the hotel down stairs and around the grounds was beautiful. Once got to our room we were a little dissapointed - very small room, mould on bathroom ceiling, no lighting in half the room so couldnt see when ironing or to use full length mirror & couldnt hang clothes due to the kettle etc being directly under hanging rail. Dispite these things the room was clean and exellent location.

Another great break

As usual the staff were so helpful and friendly from check-in to checkout. We had ordered fruit for our room, and what a selection was waiting for us. The room was lovely looking out over the garden towards the Minster. The photo makes it look like it quite s distance but it isn't really. There were teas, coffees and biscuits available, due to medication we asked for decaf drinks which we given by reception. Breakfast (self-service) and evening meals have good choices for whatever you feel like. The hotel being next to the station, it makes travelling so handy as its straight into the hotel from the station. A lovely break and we'll be back.

We stayed one night at The Milner York and absolutely loved it. The location was perfect—just a short walk from the city walls and everything we wanted to explore. Our room was beautifully appointed, quiet, and full of character, with thoughtful touches that made us feel truly welcome. The staff were kind and attentive, and the whole atmosphere felt charming and peaceful. We’d happily stay here again on our next visit to York!
