Lovely comfortable room, incredibly well stocked mini bar including full size bottles of wine. Excellent location, short walk to centre and very quiet.
Fabulous overnight stay in Jorvik House, perfect location for exploring York,warm greeting and a fantastic large room with everything you need....Definitely stay again ..
Check in was a very pleasant experience. We took advantage of the luggage check and on return to the hotel for check in our bags had been delivered to our room. We were even showed to our room, a nice touch. Room was very clean and the bed comfortable. A million dollar view from our room across a quiet street. Would definitely stay again.
The room is simply and beautifully decorated. Very clean and the hotel provides lots of different types of beverages and snacks. Staff are friendly, helpful and accommodating. The location of the hotel is close to interesting sight seeing spots. Very convenient.
Always come back to Jorvik if possible - staff are friendly. Rooms cozy and comfortable. We were in a junior suite this time and apart from the long climb to the top of the property was just what we needed.

This accommodation was in the most perfect place for a visit to York. It was right across from the museum gardens, quiet, and a quick walk to the city center. Loved it!
This is an excellent little hotel. Spotlessly clean, friendly staff and in an excellent location not far from train station and York Minster. Would highly recommend.
The room was delightfully and tastefully modern, clean, spacious and comfortable.
The location is brilliant for walking into the city core, but far enough away to be totally quiet.
We loved it for our compressed day in York.
Location amazing. Beautiful clean bright spacious rooms. The only issue we faced is we couldn’t get the water temperature in the shower to turn down from boiling hot.
The hotel is located very close to restaurants, pubs, and a beautiful park right across the street. It’s walkable into the city center with many beautiful sites and attractions.
Great atmospheres! Staff always very helpful, kind and smiling. The position is very comfortable: every interesting corner of York is few minutes walk from there. I felt like home. Extremely happy of the choice.
