Picture of Royal York Hotel

The Royal York is located next to the railway station. We are only 30 metres outside the walls of the city. From this location you have good access by car, train or on foot to all of the attractions in the centre of the city and shops. Being one of the few top class hotels in York our aim is to please.

Being a 4 star hotel you will be wanting for nothing when you stay here. All of our staff are well trained and should be able to anticipate your needs. The recently refurbished rooms will allow you to relax and sleep well in comfort after your days out exploring this fine historic city. We also have a splendid restaurant for you to enjoy. Our Rose Restaurant has received many good reviews from the locals and many compliments from our guests.

Originally called "The Station Hotel" being as it is adjacent to the railway station, this exceptional 4 star hotel in York opened in June 1853. A visit from Queen Victoria in 1854 when she was on her way to Scotland gave the establishment its "Royal" status. This fabulous historic landmark was really built to accommodate to aristocracy of the North. Its room rate of 14 shillings per night was good evidence of this. A new wing was built in 1896. This West Wing added 27 additional bedrooms and being as it was built in the year of the Gold Rush it was known as "the Klondike"

Guests Name: Anonymous was travelling as Mature couple

Good stuff: We like the fact that the hotel, when updated, retained the same ambience of the decor of the past. It is a bit like stepping back in time.

Bad stuff: Disappointed that The Rose Room was undergoing renovation and not available for dinner. The hotel garden was in need of attention.

Overall: The staff all seem rather young and, I think, will benefit from more experience. The Concierge service should have more up-to-date information available and go the extra mile to be helpful. Brochure of York was not current. Our traveling companion was directed to out-of-town mall instead of the several shops available in the City Centre when she inquired about wool and needlework shops. Staff was efficient and did quickly follow procedures when we had to evacuate due to fire alarm, but attitude of some staff, while guests were assembled in the garden and not knowing what was wrong, seemed a bit casual while we waited for the all clear. Evacuations should always be taken seriously.

Guests Name: Anonymous was travelling as Solo business traveller

Good stuff: Pleasent surrounding and good breakfast / service

Bad stuff: Room 342 had very very squeeky door hinges.

Overall: A bar snacks after 10.30 pm would be usefull. I did'nt want to eat alone in my room and the restaurant was closed. Apart from that, an excellant stay and the proximity to the train station makes it even more appealing for future visits.

Good stuff: The central position and proximity to the railway station

Bad stuff: value

Good stuff: Furnishings could be updatedc

Bad stuff: In both the bar and the restaurant a drink and a meal advertised on the bar list and on the menu respectively were not available and I was led to believe the menu was compiled afresh daily

Guests Name: Colin was travelling as Solo leisure traveller

Overall: I have have given this hotel a high rating for service as I enjoyed my stay. However, like the vast majority of hotels in the UK, it continues to discriminate against single people by charging higher per person rates for single occupancy of single rooms than for double. I would have more sympathy with hotels when they bleat about reduced usage (eg after 9/11) if they did not try to make money out of single people.

Guests Name: Carol was travelling as Other

Good stuff: It was both modern and clean. The ironing board was definately useful.

Bad stuff: The seating in the bar area was not very comfortable or easy to relax in.

Overall: For a visit to York City to see its galleries,museums and York Minister the Hotel is ideally positioned for both rail and car travellers. With the City tour buses stopping right outside it is easy to get around. The hotel staff are both helpful and extremely polite. Breakfast will certainly set you up for a days sightseeing or meeting, the choice allows for some unusual combinations !

Guests Name: Gary was travelling as Young couple

Good stuff: We had an excellent view from our hotel room.We were impressed with the facilities in the room.

Bad stuff: The prices of room service were way to expensive ie.we paid £5.95 for a single sandwich, a bit of salad and a hand full of crisps.

Overall: The check in process was very good within 5 minutes we were checked in.The staff were excellent,they were very friendly and polite.We were impressed with room,the facilities were brilliant!the only down side are the prices, it was really expensive.we were charged for breakfast we never had.during our stay a domestic technician walked in our room,genuine accident, but should have checked more carefully what rooms were going to be empty.Overall our stay was enjoyable and we shall go back again.

Guests Name: Anonymous was travelling as Solo leisure traveller

Good stuff: Location - very convenient Breakfast - excellent, though expensive

Bad stuff: Get a concierge who knows his job and can do it well Reserve car parking space

Overall: The hotel is an imposing one in a very convenient location for the City of York. Car parking can be difficult. I booked a single room, which was adequate but much smaller than many more modern hotels offer. Everything worked well. I ate only breakfast: the quality of food and service was excellent, but pricy.

Guests Name: Ann was travelling as Group of adult friends

Good stuff: A bit small by American standards but comfortable and with a great bathroom.

Bad stuff: The one porter was attentive and very accomodating but the poor man was run ragged having to take care of the whole hotel.

Overall: An elegant old hotel that has been updated and is well appointed and comfortable. Food was excellent and the flower arrangements in the public rooms were smashing. Location, just across the street from the station, is a real plus.
