St george's day

Although its a nice/comfy hotel and good access to centre, the check in time of 4.30pm lets it down
Helen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The Novotel York Centre proved OK and average for a 4 star hotel! On a positive note ... The staff all proved delightful and enthusiastic to please us! The bar and refreshments were nice and provided a comfortable spacious area to relax and enjoy reasonably priced drinks during happy hour. The pool was exceptionally nice, clean and well managed! Breakfast was good and again the staff and service was exceptionally good! The negatives: the room did not impress us for a 4 star rated hotel. The carpets were stained in multiple area. The 'finger groove handles' on cupboard doors to access the fridge and adjacent cupboard had deep set dust in the grooves and was rather unsightly and setting a poor hygiene standard (We took photographs of these problems if required for evidence!) We did not wish to engage on complaining as we wee only there 2 nights and don't favour making a fuss whilst there! Water pressure in the sink tap was very low (obviously a reducer in place). Towels and sheets were not of 4 star quality. The car park was very expensive (but we anticipated such and travelled by train!) Otherwise, the combination of the lovely pool, nice bar and wonderful staff outweighed the identified problems and we enjoyed our stay as best we could.

8/10 Very good

A good value way of staying within walking distance of York. Pool is small but useable, sauna was not turned on. Executive room could have been cleaned better, smell in toilet and hair on bathroom floor but nothing major. Carpark £17 but very convenient. Breakfast good for price point.
