Lovely place to stay nice and quiet and close to all amenities. Bus stop across the rd takes you right into the city center. Friendly helpful staff, would definitely stay again.

Good stay
Good stay. About 30 min walk into York centre. We walked down the river into York which was much nicer than down the main road but takes about extra 5 mins. Room had everything we needed for a 1 night stay. Comfy bed and pillow. Plus car park is handy. Check in system was smooth.

Good for what you pay for
Overall, for the price we paid and for a place to simply sleep and shower I am happy with my experience. There is limited private parking at the rear of the building (about 4 car spaces) but also street parking is available. The people are lovely and they were swift and friendly with checking me into my room. We were in a double bed room plus a single bed with an ensuite, and it was all tidy and clean upon arrival. The only downsides was that one of the windows had a crack in it and the room gets quite warm (we stayed in mid July). The room comes with a standing fan you can use though. We also got a takeout to have in the hotel room and it was helpful that we had a mini fridge in our room. It came with cutlery but we did notice downstairs there is a seating area and a kitchen space that I think residents are welcome to use. They also have an ironing board and you can ask for an iron too from the friendly staff.

A late change of plans meant i needed a last minute room in york on a bank holiday Sunday. This was cheap and in reasonable walking distance to rhe centre, about 20 mins brisk walk. I had low expectations however was pleasantly surprised, room small but clean with a minu fridge, complimentary tea/coffee making facilities, complimentary bottle of water and even had a hairdryer in the room. For the price paid excellent value for a single night.

Good clean comfortable room. Check in was a bit difficult as it is done over the phone and the guy was a bit stroppy. Apart from that room was pleasant, easy access and free parking was great.

It took till a lot later in the day to receive the smart lock details despite several chases through the Hotels.com system.
Upon arrival the building was noisy with people in the corridor. The room was very basic with very thin curtains.
The TV was mounted really high with dangling cables.
There is a lot of road noise and noise from other rooms carries including people in the corridors and slamming of the front door.
The water bottles and biscuits were a nice touch.
There were a lot of tatty finishes, especially in the bathroom with paint overlapping in odd places.
Would not stay again, especially at this price, way too expensive for what you get.

Nice place to stay
I don't care about some negative review in this place. All I need is a place to sleep with while spending my holiday in York. And this place is perfect. It has everything I need (towel, toiletries, refreshments). Very clean and tidy. Nice toilet and shower. Location, it is very near in bus stops that could take you in a few minutes to the city center. I enjoy my stay here as much as I enjoy traveling York. I just want a little suggestion to atleast have a microwave oven so we can buy ready to eat foods. Besides that.. everything is perfect.

Comfy beds
Checkin required calling a mobile number which was awkward from our Australian mobile sim. Thankfully I had data so could find the UK area code to use to make the call.
Due to traffic noise it was just a bit hard to hear the instructions. Once given the code for the room it was easy to manage.
I would have preferred the instructions been emailed or SMS through.
The room was upstairs and the beds were soft and comfortable which was wonderful.
There was a small fridge. ( No freezer)
The toilet hadn’t been cleaned behind the seat and a dark syrupy liquid had accumulated (not cleaning product) and the shower head was very mouldy.
Being an older building noise reverberated from other guests using the property however this settled before midnight :)
It was a nice walk through the park into town, and was close to Aldi.

The Emerald Residence is a good option for a slightly cheaper stay in York, as it's a bus ride from the centre. Buses are regular (Route 7 to the Park & Ride or route 415 to Selby depart from different points in the city centre - route 7 is the one to use from the railway station, but there are no buses early on Sunday morning).
My room was clean and spacious, and did not face the main road so there was no traffic noise. Initial entry requires two codes - one for the front door and one for the bedroom; these were given by phone, so if you don't have a UK mobile phone (or roaming) this could be a slight problem. Once inside there's a keycard to use for access so you don't need to remember the codes,
One thing to note: alcohol is strictly forbidden to be consumed on the premises.
The area is generally quiet; there's a small Coop store about 5 minutes' walk away that has long opening hours.

Handy for the ciy
Well priced handy stopover for York city centre with free parking. November time of year. The toom was a bit on the cold side but an electric heater was included to help.
Ensuite, everything worked. Remote check -in was a breeze.
