Inexpensive hotel in a great location and five minutes walk to the centre of York, having the added advantage of onsite car parking.
Have stayed here twice now and will definitely be staying again.
Far exceeded our expectations for what first appears to be a budget hotel.

Fantastic room, clean, comfortable, spacious and quiet. Great location, just a short stroll to the city wall and city centre. Owner was very friendly, letting us use the carpark after we checked out. Will definitely visit again
