Great location central to the train station and many attractions. It’s clear they maintain the rooms well including a fresh coat of paint, which you don’t always see with older hotels like this one (usually the paint ends up quite grubby) the breakfast is excellent as well

The hotel was clean and conveniently located right on the River Ouse. Great buffet breakfast and helpful staff. The property is a little dated and parking is limited and cost extra. The rooms are large, and a luggage rack and some place to sit would be a helpful additions.
