York Pavilion Hotel, BW Signature Collection

York Pavilion Hotel, BW Signature Collection

8/10 Good
"Staff were very helpful and provided excellent service with a smile. When booking double check if you have breakfast booked. We had filtered by parking and breakfast and location. Location was excellent for us. Breakfast was extra and parking has a cost too. Beautiful garden and despite being on main road, very quiet. Thank you."
