Nice quick checkin, shown to pantry to see the range of free nibbles and drinks on offer throughout our stay and then to our room; compact, lovely features, like the dolls house drinks centre, the record player (with LPs and a library downstairs if the ones in the room didn't excite). The hotel has a grand entrance and is very relaxed, some may say bohemian; dark walls, interesting features throughout, lovely bright and comfortable lounge, all in all very good value and only a short walk to the centre of York along a wide avenue-style road, past a park and your first tourist sight is the minster.
