Top York Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in York

Delta Hotels by Marriott York

10/10 Excellent

"A comfortable and clean hotel away from York city centre but close enough for an easy walk or journey into the centre. The hotel is just over a mile from York railway station and the Micklegate. The hotel is overlooking the racecourse and has a range of amenities, including a small pool, a tennis court and a beauty salon. Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable, with air conditioning, a must have for the recent hot weather we have experienced. The breakfast was most enjoyable, being well laid out a varied selection of options available. The cooked breakfast was replenished at regular intervals so was fresh and hot. All the staff were friendly and helpful, which I was especially grateful for as at the time of our visit I was temporarily having to use crutches to get around. A special mention to Liam, the manager, who was particularly helpful during our 2 night stay. We would not hesitate to stay at the Delta again on any future trips to York."

The only thing i didnt like was the breakfast, not sure why there was no option of fried eggs, as the scrambled eggs tasted like carton and probably made of powder. Such a shame, as the rest was amazing, including the waffle station!"

The Milner York
