Jorvik House

This is my second time staying at Jorvik House as a solo traveller. The staff are helpful and accomodating and the hotel is lovely and in a perfect location for exploring York. Rooms are a good size, amenities are great (tv, hairdryer, minibar, fan, kettle and complimentary tea/coffee). Loved my view of Museum Gardens from the top floor room and found the early check-in incredibly helpful and really reasonably priced- (i arrived before even the Early Checkin time and was happy just to wait in the lounge until it was time to check in but the room was already available for me and I was shown to my room/helped with my bags - fantastic service!)

Our room was cosy and the bed was really comfortable. The staff were really warm and friendly and offered suggestions for pubs, restaurants and other tourist attractions. The location of the guest house was excellent; it was only a 5 minute walk through York gardens (which was directly opposite) to all the main city centre shops, bars, restaurants and cafes. It is ideal if you travel by train as it is only a short 5 - 10 minute walk from the station to the guest house.

The room was very comfortable. This hotel is in an ideal location for exploring the inner city of York. During the day a pleasant walk through the Museum Gardens takes you through to the centre. Otherwise walking along by the river or along Marygate on to Bootham is the other options to the city centre. Either way 15 minutes or so. The Hotel is 15-20 minutes walk from the railway station, no problem for myself. A breakfast could be ordered. Whether I missed it or not on the web pages I did not realise that breakfast would be delivered to the room. I prefer having my breakfast in a dining room.

The staff were extra helpful, especially on checkout where they were willing to keep my expressed breast milk in their fridge until our train which avoided wastage. There is staff onsite 24/7 which we didn’t need but good to know if there was an emergency, this was extremely helpful since we arrived around 8pm on arrival night so they are quite flexible for evening check-ins. Also love the proximity to the city centre and for the price paid it feels like a bargain. The decor in the room is minimal but doesn’t detract from the overall beauty of the accommodation.

The hotel is brilliant & in a very good location we love it.
