The hotel is perfectly placed in the centre of York and easy to get to. The staff were lovely and were able to accommodate giving us a lower-level room, which was so helpful (especially when pregnant in a heatwave!). There were lots of options available in the mini bar as well as teas, coffees, etc. The room was very comfortable and clean - we will definitely return next time we come to York.

Perfect location for walking through York Gardens. We were downstairs but still had plenty of light coming through. Lots of space and we cracked our window at night which kept us cool enough - though wished there was a safety lock on the windows - we didn’t notice one. And the fan could be cleaned - didn’t use because it was covered it dust. Sink was stopped up but couldn’t be we didn’t know how to open the drain more.

I like the bed, shower, room setup and decoration. All was good except that the water in the sink went down very slowly and the basement room was a bit chilly and humid. Ok for temperature around 15deg but not sure whether the heater will be good enough in colder weather. The location is convenient but can hear noises on the street though.

Absolutely loved staying here, all the staff were lovely , really friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and had everything we needed, we especially loved sitting in the bay window watching the world go by. The hotel was situated in the perfect place 2 minutes from the river , 7mins from the centre and the street was lovely and quiet at night, we came in the train and it was a 10 minute walk from there so perfect all round.

Positives - Good location for York; great showers and comfortable bed.

Negatives - only breakfast option is continental breakfast served in room, though room facilities to do this minimal. No communal space for a drink etc other than a small unwelcoming area between the front door and the reception hatch, which offered a very small range of self serve drinks.

More a place to sleep than a place to stay.

Short walk from railway station so didn't need to park. Excellent location, central to the shopping area, visiting the museum, Abbey, Minster etc. Directly opposite the beautiful museum park lovely walk through to the central area. Beautiful, characterful building, lovely and clean. Handy fridge in room well stocked with drinks and snacks. Lovely decor and furnishings with added throws, cushions etc. Wonderful staff, nothing to much trouble, very welcoming and helpful, especially with directions. Peaceful. Didn't require breakfast, as we ate out, which suited us fine. Able to leave bags if you arrive early and depart late. Would definitely recommend this accomodation. Wouldn't have thought it was suitable for young families or people with difficulty walking as there are a lot of stairs to climb from our experience which wasn't a problem for us.

Whilst the bathroom looked very luxurious, overnight the drain started to smell dreadfully. Only stopped by keeping the door shut. The problem could be outside because the drain(s) at entrance to the lane to private car parking also smelled bad. Staff were empathetic but could only offer a twin room on the top floor. At 85 my husband did not want to walk that far. We had to ask for more milk, coffee pods (only 1 given for 2 nights) and no biscuits even though these were available when I asked for reinforcements. The bathroom extractor fan was not working or on, and the lower shower leeks.

Jorvik House was a great stay for our overnight trip in York and was centrally located but away from the crowds of the city. The room was well appointed and quiet, and we had the best night’s sleep of our entire 3-week UK trip in the very comfortable bed!

The only fault of our stay is the lack of clarity around the parking at the property - we weren’t aware of the parking situation before we arrived and the closest car park was £25 per night.

Superb location

The location of this property is perfect right in the middle of the City. There isn't parking however there is a council car park right behind the property but this will set you back £26 for 2 nights. We decided to park around a mile away and walk in, a nice 20 minute walk. Staff there are really friendly and the property is immaculate. Just a couple small things we picked up on. We were in one of the luxury double rooms in the loft space. The room was perfect other than it had a lack of ventilation. The bathroom velux window is screwed shut. You can open the window at the front of the bedroom however after 2 hot showers and my partner using her hair dryer the room gets really warm and stuffy to the point we couldnt wait to get out of the hotel for a bit of fresh air. I can't imagine how warm it must get in summer. There is a small fan but i think allowing the velux to open in the bathroom would make a big difference. Also not wanting to sound too picky but if its being listed luxury we only got one toilet roll. So the next day I had to call reception for another. It arrived really quickly however they brought just one more. I'm not sure why the bathroom doesnt have 2 or 3 for a 2 night stay. They are the cheap toilet rolls with only a few sheets so doesnt take long to get through them! Also we had to call for more milk as they weren't replenished the next day. These are just small things and we would happily stay again

The best thing about this apartment was the washer/dryer. Nice to be able to do laundry. It is in need of serious updating. New sofa (we sank in all but one spot), new shower curtain (mold), a lamp in the kitchen as lighting is minimal, and a new mold/fungus free tea kettle. The garbage dumpsters from all apartments partially block access making it hard to park the car. Plus garbage is often strewn about. Minimum landscape/maintenance effort by front door.

The hotel is on a quiet road directly across from the Museum Gardens, which makes access into York town centre very easy. The bathroom was small but perfect for me (solo traveller) with an amazing waterfall shower. My only criticism is that I found the bed ever so slightly lumpy in places but it didn't stop me from getting a decent night's sleep. Good quality bedding and pillows though. The minibar was a nice addition too. I had a great stay here, the staff are so, so kind and friendly. I only wish I'd booked to stay a bit longer!
