Top South Bank Hotel Reviews

The Apple House

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly and helpful owners, our room was clean and comfortable and only a short walk from the city centre, would definitely stay there again when we come back to York."

The Grand, York

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful top-notch property in York. Centrally located a 4 minute walk from the train station and 8/9 minute walk to York Minster and old town York. Plenty of stores and eating facilities all within walking distance. The hotel itself and attentive staff plus very spacious and well appointed rooms made our stay a real pleasure. Definitely a 5 star plus!!"

Wheatlands Lodge Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very nice, however we had a toilet that would not flush, they sent maintenance the next day and tried to tell us a fix to make it work as they needed to call a plumber to truly fix it. However the fix did not work, they finally moved us to another room the third day, it was a pain to repack to move down a floor. Other than that, it was nice and so was the staff. Breakfast was nice."

Malmaison York

8/10 Good

"Lovely huge room and very comfortable bed. Breakfast was a bit of a shambles as it was so busy. The staff were showing the stress and when we were taken to our table the cutlery was chucked on a a dirty table. Had to wait 30 minutes to order and then another 15 minutes for the food to arrive. The saving grace was that the food was excellent and piping hot."
