Loved by Jorvik House Hotel guests
"We had one of the rooms with the roll top bath which we'd highly recommend for the novelty of it."
"It's the little nice touches such as fresh milk and a hot water bottle in the room."
"Location was first class - 5 minutes from York Minster, 10 minutes from railway station."

Fantastic stay!
perfect locationshort walkhistorical churchamazing space
The hotel location was perfect. It was just opposite the museum gardens. A car park was only a short walk away, about two minutes. I stayed in a suite with views of a local historical church. The room felt quirky, large, and pretty. The space was amazing.
I found a very small detail, a slight negative aspect was the temperature in the bathroom. I wasn't able to turn the radiator off.
Rooms

The suite featured Viking-style furniture. It added to the room's charm! A fully stocked minibar was available, including a bottom shelf for personal use. The bed was large. I could get a good night's rest.
Facilities
8/10
The hotel has parking spaces located a short distance from the main building, less than five minutes. Blue badge parking spaces are conveniently situated just outside the main car park. That helped a lot. I found it very convenient.
Service
10/10
The staff was very friendly. They provided helpful directions and recommendations when asked. Breakfast was optional. It suited my needs perfectly. The hotel was like a haven of peace right in the city centre!
