First class & great location

An excellent find. Very friendly and efficient staff. We were greeted by smiling doormen and welcoming reception staff. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. Our room was large located on the front of the building and benefited from sun and a beautiful sunset. Discounted Self parking was 2minutes away. (Valet parking is available). Breakfast £25.) was excellent quality with lots of selections available. We will definitely be returning.

5 Star treatment

5 star hotel and lived up to expectation. From the exceptional staff and service provided to the wonderfully decorated rooms. Would never look at another hotel when we are back in York. A thoroughly fabulous experience

The Hotel was a very good standard as expected being listed as a 5 Star, however the breakfast experience was awful with a general lack of food on display as the trays had not been replenished enough, no cereal dishes left for use on the continental breakfast tables so guests just waiting around...It appeared as a commercial first come first served free for all, not great and nowhere near worth £ 25 per head. The Hotel did act in good faith by asking and listening to these concerns and recognised this issue with a refund. However overall an underwhelming experience which cost over £600 across a 2 night stay, nowhere near a 5 Star experience which did spoil our special vacation to York.

First Class Hotel!

This is one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in. Had a room in a new part of the hotel (260) .. very clean and spacious with a large and comfortable bed. Straightforward aircon/heat management, which warmed the room up well as needed. Excellent breakfast. Could not fault any member of staff ... service was excellent.

Gorgeous Grand

Our stay at The Grand was lovely, we hadn’t been to York for a few years but the standard of the hotel hasn’t changed. For us it is the only place to stay in York with an excellent location for the city and station of arriving by train. The staff are so welcoming and special mention to Wayne at the entrance he is a credit to the hotel, so welcoming to everyone! Our room was gorgeous and very clean and very quiet at night. Overall a lovely stay and we will stay agin next time we are in York!
