Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
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.

Staff were really friendly at check in. Room was beautiful and clean. The thing that let it down was the bathroom as it was an accessible bathroom which wasn’t asked for or required and made it difficult for me being 6’3 due to the low sink and shower/bath configuration. Have had accessible rooms before which were done a lot better. Tv didn’t work as it kept switching itself off

On check in there were 3 staff on the check in desk one was helping another customer one was playing on their phone and one was chatting. This ment checkin took longer than I could have. We confirmed that we had booked a twin room but when we got to the room it was a double (they corrected this via housekeeping). There was a toilet roll under the bed. And the booking for the swimming pool seemed strange as there were at time alot more people than there was supposed to be in it. The room was comfy and the brekfast was good. The staff were variable.

Lovely Hotel

Took our 10 year old granddaughter for her last visit before schools opened back .our room was large with a double sofa bed for her . The bar area was very nice. Breakfast was what we would expect and the food was nice and warm . It was raining on the Saturday night so we opted to stay in the hotel for our evening meal but have to say we were quite disappointed with the quality of the food. All the staff were really friendly and we would definitely stay again.
