The Milner York
Staff were all very nice and welcoming. Room was clean although would have like maybe a drawer or shelf as only space to hang some clothes. Only a small thing would not put me off staying again.

Malmaison York
Great room, very comfortable bed Excellent breakfast and great rooftop bar Parking is a real issue at the hotel and in the city in general. The recommended NCP carpark had a huge queue - I would advise against bringing a car

Buffet breakfast was just alright. Sausages were naff and bacon not great. But unlimited coffee, cappuccino machine with decaf option. Clean bedroom, great shower and decent armitage shanks
