Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The hotel was within walking distance of the city centre.A pleasant walk by Knavesmire park. The room though basic was clean and cosy. There were plenty of showers so there was no issue about sharing.
The corridor doors could be noisy at night if not carefully closed
Staff were lovely.
Nothing
Absolutely cracking value for money. Spotless shared facilities ( appreciated!!!)
Ladder on bunk hurt to climb with just socks on! Parking was a little crowded by our evening return after dinner.
Super Frühstück, sehr sauber.
Blisko do miasta York
地理位置优越,无自驾4路车直达各景点,离火车站也近,员安静卫生,员工热情帮助,非常值得拥有。
最好能为客人准备一些针线,路上有破损到处找不到针线很麻烦。
Locatie
Kamer was wel erg klein

It was a perfect setting when travelling with a dog. Would highly recommend it. Such a lovely restaurant. Excellent breakfasts and they were so welcoming of Bella our retriever.
I didnt like the idea of shared bathrooms but even this exceeded my expectations. Lovely clean bathrooms. Lots of privacy. Loved the bodywash and soap...I suppose this should come under the category of what we liked 😊
Basic, easy accommodation for a good price. Good location set back from a main road into York, close to the racecourse where you can go for a walk or walk a dog and 15-20 minutes walk from the city centre. Easy check-in. Good breakfast, which included non-dairy milk options. Shared bathrooms kept very clean.
Parking a bit awkward - wasn't really clear where was acceptable/reasonable to park when the edges of the yard filled up, and if some spaces would be blocking workers in the yard. Thin walls in rooms, so some noise (not enough to be a problem for us). Water pressure in showers (in annex block) was way too high, meaning that the shower head wouldn't stay in place and sprayed water everywhere, and that the shower tray quickly filled near to overflowing even though there was no issue with the drainage. This overflow resulted in regular puddles of water on the bathroom floors. Would have been great to have some veggie sausages available at breakfast for those of us who don't eat meat. Overall, none of this was a big problem for us and we enjoyed our stay.
Très bel endroit (anciennes écuries rénovées), spacieux, calme et avec un personnel charmant, très bien équipé et avec un très bon petit déjeuner. Excellent rapport qualité / prix.
Un des lits sur les 3 n'était pas très confortable. Heureusement, nous n'étions que 2.
Very much what you see is what you get. It’s very simple and basic but that’s obvious in the price. A bet in a warm, clean and dry room at a great price. Spitting distance of York parkrun!
It was noisier than I’d like, but again you are getting what you pay for.
Basic single accommodation at a reasonable price. Very well situated for my needs. Ideal if just looking for a place to sleep without any frills.
Really needs to invest in soft close doors. Not all guests are considerate with closing doors quietly at night.
Lovely staff. Good breakfast. Great location. Decent value
If you’re anywhere near 6 ft or more, you’re not going to fit in the bed. Paper thin walls. If you get a loud neighbour, then it’s a bit of a pain. We had some Pratt watching stand up and laughing like a nutter until 4am who kept everyone awake.
There is enough parking space. It is in close proximity to the city centre, around 40 minutes by walk and 10 mins to drive. The room is clean and the staff are friendly. Easy check-in and check-out. The shower has good water pressure. The shared toilets and shower are clean. Very good value for money.
There is no electric fan in the room which at night can be hot especially when using the duvet. Adding some hook for hanging clothes can be helpful at the back of the shower doors.
Nice breakfast.
The unisex bathroom facility
Clean and tidy. A great option if you have four kids as we had a double bed with four bunkbeds. The breakfast was amazing!
The metal brackets for the bunkbeds were annoying and my kids knocked their heads and elbows on them a few times
Very calm, houses around if you are lucky. Rooms too very nice and clean
Sharing showers
Mitten im Grünen, schöne Anlage, gutes Frühstück

Tiny room
Very good breakfast, nice and helpful staff, clean

La jeune fille de l'accueil a été ultra professionnelle et sympathique. Elle nous a gentiment changés de chambre car la première ne nous convenait pas. Les sanitaires étaient ultra propres. Le chef nous a fait de délicieux oeufs brouillés minute au petit déjeuner. On peut se garer devant le logement.
La chambre était super petite et c'est très mal insonorisé, on a l'impression de dormir dans un dortoir. Mais bon, difficile de trouver un prix aussi attractif à York.
The comfy bed and the breakfast plenty to choose from and loved the hot showers.
A bit noisy some nights with doors banging and their food and milk deliveries woke me up before 6am as the van was parked outside our room window.
Very supportive staffs, Good location,
It is very small room for family of 3. Little bit issues with Public transport, as sometimes bus timinigns vary. But if you come with Taxi or Car, this is nice place.
Great location & very easy check in!
Really noisy lots of doors & always banging shut! Also smokers in front of your window! Good value though & did the job.
L'accueil est sympathique & efficace, les chambres économiques sont rudimentaires mais très confortables, & on est à 10 minutes en voiture du centre de York.
Pas loin de York et auprès de l'hippodrome donc assez calme
3 douches étaient hors service donc il ne restait que 3 douches pour toute l'annexe c'est peu
Staff very friendly - cleaners, reception and dining room. Buffet breakfast was excellent, so much choice and delicious pastries. Nice, clean dining room.
Slamming of doors in accommodation - not the owners fault I know.
环境
在约克的郊区了,地点有点远,房间像宿舍的床,很小,和预想的有差距,隔音非常差
Nothing awful place to stay
Had no sleep for the 2 nights we were there clashing doors in the corridoor beds all ripped underneath talking from the corridoor far too noisy to get any sleep
Excellent location, everything I needed
The cleaners are very noisy, lovely staff but they need to keep the noise down abit in the morning.
A 15’ del centro de York. Nos toco una habitación con baño privado muy cómoda. Muy buen desayuno a buen precio. El personal muy amable
Funcionários muito atenciosos e simpáticos. Instalações cómodas e limpas. Pequeno almoço típico inglês muito bom.
Wirklich sehr sauber die Unterkunft und freundliches Personal. Auch eine ruhige Lage, dafür eben etwas außerhalb. Mit Sitzplätzen im Grünen. Tolles reichhaltiges Frühstück.
Die Zimmer sind wirklich sehr klein, aber es geht zumindest zu dritt mit nur zwei Koffern. Schön wären dann wenigsten Haken um die Handtücher oder eine Jacke aufzuhängen. Leider sehr hellhörig und die Türen schließen überall mit Spalten dazwischen. Dann hört man das zukrachen der Feuerschutztür.
Mycket trevlig personal. Mysig anläggning. Smidig parkering som ingick. Rummet hade takfönster. Vi hade bokat i annexet och blev erbjudna att uppgradera till huvudbyggnaden för 15 pund per rum och natt vilket vi var nöjda med ett vi gjorde.
Det fanns ingen ost på frukosten.
Everything, from location to facilities to how friendly and helpful the staff were. Also, it said ‘dog friendly’ and meant it. Great value. We’ll definitely come again.
The room was very hot, but it was the middle of a heatwave so largely unavoidable. The window did not open wide enough to let enough air in, but we were on the ground floor and this was a necessary safety feature. We understand the situation and it wouldn’t stop us from staying here again.
Easy Check in/out
Extremely noisy doors with people going in and out. Impossible to sleep with every slam of the door you wake up.
Colazione fantastica
Pulizia
Très bon rapport qualité prix pour loger en famille et visiter York. Les enfants ont adoré le côté atypique de l’écurie de course. Les sanitaires étaient très propre et la nuit calme. Personnel charmant. À recommander
Les douches et WC sont communs.
The staff and the location. Breakfast was good as well.
Size of the room a touch small but for the prize we paid and one night it was alright.
Breakfast was good staff were good location was ok
Accommodation was dreadful noise levels especially in early mornings was terrible people shouting screaming , not once did i sleep peacefully. Male showers did not work so I was using uni sex .
Staff were great. Breakfast was excellent.
Other guest noisy doors.
Staff are great
The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The hotel advertises itself as dog friendly and it is certainly that. Yes you pay a supplement for having your hairy friends with you but the charge is reasonable and not the rip off prices charged by so called dog friendly hotel chains. The room and bathroom facilities were squeaky clean. Parking is free and secure. The hotel is not right in the centre of the city but there is a regular bus service from the main road a 5 minute walk away and the fit and keen could walk it. There is also a Chinese take-away, a fish and chip shop and a good pub (which serves food) a very short walk away. We didn't have breakfast at the hotel so I can't comment on that.
We would have preferred en-suite facilities but the bathroom facilities were so clean that it was not a significant issue.
The location and the staff were excellent
We stayed in the extension and it was very noisy.
Très bien placé dans un très joli cadre. Le petit déjeuner est excellent !
Chambre exiguë pour 3 personnes
It was basic but clean and not too far away from the city
Personnel très accueillant, souriant et serviable Hôtel très propre Cadre très joli et dépaysant
Freundliches Personal, schöner Ort und Lage, sehr tierfreundlich
Es wäre schön, wenn es die Möglichkeit einer kleinen Gemeinschaftsküche im Hostel gäbe, um sich Wasser zu kochen oder kleine Mahlzeiten zuzubereiten.
Location and excellent clean wash rooms
Buffet breakfast should be served on warm plates and perhaps stronger food heaters
Tolle Lage in schönem Wohnviertel direkt an der Pferderennbahn. Sehr ruhig. Gute Busanbindung zur Innenstadt, wir haben Park-and-Ride benutzt (1,5km stadtuswärts). Sehr saubere Duschen/ Toiletten. Viel Platz zum Parken vor dem Zimmer. Sehr sicher durch Schranke aufs Gelände.
Familienzimmer unnötig eng, weil 2 weitere Betten (Bett 5 und 6) nicht hochgeklappt waren. Dafür hätte man einen (kleinen) Tisch brauchen können und noch ein oder 2 Stühle. Einrichtung ok, aber etwas abgenutzt.
Good location and clean.
No shelf in room. Kettle inside wardrobe was too high so quite dangerous.
Excellent location, room met our expectations along with the bathroom facilities
It wasn't as easy to park after we returned home late. Some people don't know how to park pretty and like to take up more space than needed.
Personnel très disponible et petit déjeuner excellent, complet et copieux. Cadre équestre inattendu
Cet hôtel se présente comme une auberge de jeunesse : partage des sanitaires (WC et douche) ; matériel en mauvais état (parterres, canapé lit dans la chambre familiale, armoires, moquette aspirée certes mais sale) et enfin la chambre familiale située à l'entrée du bâtiment et en face des sanitaires donc environnement bruyant
Cleanliness, convenience and a good English breakfast.
Nothing particularly
The staff are exceptionally helpful but it goes further than that it was always service with a smile. The breakfast was much better than expected - the fruit salad was something to go for but I was pleasantly surprised by everything else at breakfast.
Perfect location for an event at the racecourse. Friendly staff and excellent value.
Main issue was the blinds in the annexe rooms don't block out any light - given I stayed at midsummer this meant broad daylight from 5am - bring an eye mask! No working wifi in my room and a strong smell of cigarette smoke. Other reviews rave about the breakfast, but there weren't great vegetarian options. I probably wouldn't have paid for it in retrospect.
Easy check in / out. Clean room and facilities, good parking, nice outdoor tables / benches available for use.
A small table in the room would be useful, even if it was just one that was collapsible. Insufficient pillows per bed.
Great shower facilities, very nice towels and beds. Easy to get to from town by bus.
Rooms smell a bit musty, but we slept with the windows open. Would be nice with a bed lamp by the double bed.
The place is not too far from the city centre. There are pubs and chinese foods outside. Close to bus stop going to city centre. The people are very kind. They let us upgrade on the day because of a misunderstanding. The kids loves the place.
None so far
I liked the fact that there were two car chargers
Everything loos were to small im a big guy 6ft 6ins and heavy set showers i did not fit in the bed was to short too uncomfy no coffee or tea in the room one pillow i slept on the floor if i had slept in my car it would have been better i did n9t stay there the second night it was crap and as for noisy it was an understatment and the persons next door all you could do all night is listen to them snoring through the walks it was a total let down will never go there again neither will i tell my freinds to go there its a disgrace
Great breakfast. Good showers.
No sockets worked in our room. Very small room. Bed base was stained. Paintwork was in need of attention.
A great place to stay! Easily accessible by bus from York city centre, and pubs and food close by. Staff were so lovely and helpful, and the room and bathrooms were clean and comfortable
Very clean bathrooms and toilets
Nothing
Good value for money and Location
The options were great and I loved the little pastries. Location was great.
The bacon had gone hard under the warming lights and I would have liked other options for my eggs.
good room, good breakfast, friendly helpful staff.
a towel rail and clothes hook in the shower would have helped
Cleanliness of the showers and toilets. Breakfast was very good and big selection. Staff very polite and good at their jobs especially lady at breakfast kept the hot breakfast topped up
Nothing
Everything! Great peaceful location, bus stop right outside, Pubs within 2 minute walk. Budget room was better than I expected as were the shared bathroom facilities, with secure parking as well!
Nothing really. I suppose if you're a light sleeper, then noise from the corridor can carry especially if the door slams, so maybe ear plugs. But that's really nit picking. It's a great place!
The staff were lovely, the race course stunning, breakfast was more than you could need and good quality food. Absolutely great value for money
The room we stayed in had a bit of a musty odour but was spotlessly clean
Excellent value for money
Rooms could have been a bit fresher
Price and location.
Not “en-suite” - but I was aware of that when booking.
Clean, quiet, handy for York parkrun and buses to city centre.
Some hooks and a chair in the room
Good value accommodation, that is close enough to the city for a walker like myself
Parte del personal era muy amable. La habitación estaba muy limpia Baño compartido pero muy limpio, 2 inodoros y 3 duchas individuales.
A 23min andando del centro. Habitación pequeña. No había nada más barato en esa zona Muy ruidoso, se escucha lo que la gente dice en otras habitaciones
