Top York Observatory Hotel Reviews

The Milner York

8/10 Good

"I love this hotel; the staff are very friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean. Although we eat out a lot, we had some nice bar food there. We will definitely be staying there again. It’s conveniently next to the town and the train station. The only reason I didn’t give it a five-star rating was the cost of the parking, £29.50 per day, which is absolutely ridiculously high for parking."

DoubleTree by Hilton York

8/10 Good

"We had a superior room was a very quiet room/stay, the bed was comfortable and had a good sleep. Bathroom was ok not much room to sit on toilet as squeezed in to the corner of the room right next to the door. The shower screen had a gap between the glass so water would leak on to the floor also mould on the tiles and ceiling as fan did not work. All of the above Reported to reception when leaving. This didn’t affect our stay would stay there again. Breakfast had a good selection but one coffee machine was not great as there was always a long queue. The Hotel was in a great position central to everything. 7/10 rating."

Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly

8/10 Good

"Clean and comfortable room, decent breakfast, reception staff very helpful. It was possible to switch off heating / air conditioning . Easy walking distance in to town centre. No restaurant meals, just snacks Dirty front steps give a poor first impression."
