This hotel is a gem! It's situated right in the heart of York, making it convenient to explore the city.

I had a great stay at this hotel! The room's fabulous bathroom with a walk-in shower and good amenities was a plus. However, the lack of soundproofing was a bit of a downside. The service from the staff was exceptional, from valet parking to handling concerns in a very professional manner.

The hotel is perfectly located near the train station and just before the bridge over the river Ouse in the bustling town of York. The rooms are spacious and modern with a strange bathroom layout, providing a comfortable bed and a good shower, along with a second wing chair in the bedroom. The service was outstanding, with every staff member, from front of house to bar staff, being extremely helpful and offering valet parking worth every penny. The dining experience, included in the rate, featured excellent black pudding and cocktails, adding to the high-quality experience. Overall, a great value for money stay in a convenient location.

As for dining, we enjoyed cocktails and impeccable service, although the Rise restaurant experience left something to be desired in terms of value. The facilities were top-notch and added to our overall comfort and enjoyment. However, we did find the dining prices a bit on the higher side and felt that the restaurant could use some improvements.
