The Milner York
Beautiful room very clean and cosy. Amazing shower. Stains on cream chairs situated around the table and on the carpets were disappointing for quality of the room. Communal areas of the building are well presented .

Malmaison York
The room was very clean and spacious. Automatic lighting was a nice touch, and even though we stayed in Malmaison Manchester last year, the rooms were very unique. The bathroom and shower room were spotless and all of the staff were lovely and helpful
