Top hotels in Fishergate

Novotel York Centre
Staff was helpful, room was tidy and the bed was nice and comfy only thing I’d complain about is that it is £18 for parking per night

The Lighthorseman
Staff were okay. The toilet in the room was a saniflow. Very strange. The water in the shower was not flowing well due to the saniflow. Floor was dirty as well. I would not be going back sorry.
