Received a warm welcome at reception ahead of the 3pm permitted check in time and was given a room upgrade. The hotel Was beautifully decorated for Christmas with lovely seating areas and all very warm and cosy throughout. The breakfasts were lovely offering a Choice of cereal, fruits as well as cooked foods. Filter coffee was a disappointment from a flask.

Only negative is accessibility, steps at main entrance and no indication of an accessible way in. Small flight up to room with no handrail. Travelled with 88yr old and just little things but make huge difference.

The room was a good size but disappointing. Lacked a character, charm or warmth which I’d expected when booking a beautiful old hotel. The room was disconnected from the main building, passing lots of stained carpets and drunk party goers. The bar staff were low on numbers and we waited a while to be served. Location was good. Managed to park at the hotel. Shame the parking fee is high for onsite. All in all, sadly wouldn’t return to this hotel.

The room was supposed to be a deluxe. It was not compared to other hotels we have stopped in . It was a cold room . A lady came to help with the controls , it stayed cold then maintenance came no better. These were two nice people not their fault. I am pretty sure the heating was either faulty or inadequate. We were offered heaters for the room - but it’s not what you really want . It stayed cold - we only were there for one night so we did not make a fuss. However if we return to York it won’t be at the Milner.

The public rooms are exceptional and were beautifully decorated for Christmas. Our room was clean and tidy but the furniture is dated and a bit odd, with the kettle and cups in a cupboard which meant that we had to take the kettle out of the cupboard and plug it in by the bed. The bathroom seemed recently fitted with a good sized shower. We had breakfast at the hotel my husband enjoyed the range of cooked options.
