Top South Bank Hotel Reviews

Malmaison York

8/10 Good

"Usual good quality stat at a Malmaison hotel. We had to make do with a twin room as it was a last minute booking, but we had excellent views into town and the Minster. The roof terrace is excellent and were used that a couple of times. We ate in Soro on our first night, and the food was truly excellent and good value. Hotel location is good as you are 5 mins to the station and 5 mins to the town centre"
