Jorvik House

Great location- 10 minute walk from the rail station, 10 minute walk to the Minister, opposite one of the entrances to the gardens. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Our room was downstairs, it was a fairly quiet area. And the view from the window was lovely. As we were facing the gardens. Which is another positive, because we could walk through the gardens unless it was past 6pm. But then we would walk along the river Ouse, which is only like 3 minutes down the road. The room we stayed in was beautiful. We had everything we needed. And if we ever needed anything, the staff were very helpful and would do what it takes to help. You could have housekeeping each morning of you wanted , we chose not to. We could have also had breakfast each or any morning but we chose not to, because there were so many places we wanted to go in the city centre for food. And shopping of course. Reception printed off some recommendations of where to go for food, or drinks. It gave a list of restaurants, cafés and bars. Which was very nice of them. On the last day we had to leave our room by 11am. So we did. But our train wasn’t until 2pm. And the lady at reception offered to keep our bags until we needed to collect them, the train station was only at least a 10 minute walk. Depending on how fast you walk. On that note. Before our stay at Jorvik house, they gave me a call and told me about a shortcut we can walk through from the station to the hotel. Which again, was very helpful.

This place is in an excellent location on a quiet street with a car park nearby and walking distance to the train station. You can cut through the museum grounds to town when the gates are open, otherwise its' a small diversion. There is a good pub at the end of the steet. Bonus. We were a group of 11 and we left our bags before and after check in which was very welcome. Beds were comfy and no noise outside during our stay, fridge and kettle in the room. Fan and hot water bottle too! All our group enjoyed the stay, thanks. Room 12 at the front was nice.

We appreciated the warm and welcoming atmosphere, the beautiful decor, and the exceptional comfort of our room (number 2) the lighting was brilliant and dimming option . The pre-set heating was a welcome feature given the cold outside temperature. The well-stocked minibar, with clearly displayed prices, was a thoughtful touch. (Although we didnt partake). The shower and bed were outstanding; I slept remarkably well (I typically suffer from insomnia), a testament to the room's comfort. The spacious, clean wardrobe, readily available hairdryer, and the included fan (ideal for warmer weather) were all appreciated. We look forward to returning. The church just over the road was beautiful, and the gardens also across the road , which you could walk through to get to the city.

Wonderful location just a 10 min walk from the train station and a 5-7 min walking distance from the York Minster. Beautiful Museum Garden just on front of the building. Nice new furniture, quite a large and comfy bed, cleverly equipped food corner. Intelligent and pleasant staff.
