Really clear instructions om how to get into the room which was clean and comfortable, exactly what I needed. Niki Monoyiou was also very helpful providing instructions and arranging an earlier check in which was very much appreciated 👏

I hàd everything I needed. The bed was superb. I haven't had such a good night's sleep like that for a long time. I was that cozy I when I woke up I asked my Alexa what time it was. She was at my house so didn't answer.

MarkM

Ideal place to stay a mile (Nice walk)outside city centre. Clean, comfy beds, TV and tea and coffee in the room. Bag with decent breakfast handed over when checking in. Would definitely stay again.

JenH

Excellent accommodation - clean, simple, basic, warm, comfortable - and perfect. We found this an excellent place to stay while visiting a family member who is studying at York University.

JustinW

Perfect little room for short stay. Bare necessities but comfortable bed, tea making facilities, good sound and light insulation, warm and nice environment

Anon

Efficient and simple; modern rooms; very quiet. A simple 'card' box, so no human interaction, but we haven't needed any help.

KeithB

Hopefully the cooked breakfast option could be available in the future.

AndrewG

The shower dripped a little but otherwise all good - thank you.
