8/10 Very good
The people are nice. Food is descent. Hotel itself is charming. Reception stuff is great, Bartender is lovely. Spa was not a good experience. Unfortunately the people who work there are not good at the massage technique. A senior woman was a bit better but kept scratching me with her nails and sometimes would pull skin the way proper masseuse would not. The newish woman, was shown technique but doesn't understand body at all. Housekeeping was a bit weird. They took the key for our room, disappeared with it and never actually cleaner the room. Love the building itself and the location.

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.
