Negative Reviews
negative:
Local noise can be a problem.
Owing to the location in central York, a number of visitors reported noise from the local traffic and nearby establishments. This was a bigger problem in the suites facing the street, and reviewers recommended requesting a room at the back of the building.
negative:
Suites are basic and somewhat dated.
Many guests stated that the rooms are rather basic and mostly suitable for shorter stays. People also noted that the building is showing its age and reported issues such as noisy plumbing, problems with water temperature and pressure, and tired bathrooms in need of refurbishment.
negative:
Single rooms are small and cramped.
Due to the age of the building, some of the suites are smaller than travellers may be accustomed to. The single rooms in particular were said to be small and oddly laid out, with a tiny shower and toilet area that did not allow for the bathroom door to open fully.
