8/10 Good

"Great breakfast buffet, good pool for families. Family rooms are bigger than expected, clean and cleaning service was appreciated."

Hotel du Vin & Bistro York

10/10 Excellent

"Had a lovely stay here. Didn’t interact too much with the hotel as we had other plans but where we did staff were very polite and keen to help. We had a lovely, clean room, where it was nice and quiet and we enjoyed a very pleasant stay. Air con was amazing here over the hot weather too. The hotel is also very reasonable for the price and very walkable into the heart of the city too. Would highly recommend. Thank you."
