Stay was great in every way although we booked a taxi to the train station at the end. The taxi did not turn up for 20 minutes. In the end I ordered an Uber. My mum who is in her 80s and does not need the stress - and I just made the train. I felt reception dealt with this poorly and were not at all helpful. I had to sort it out

Lovely hotel with quirky decor. A real gem and within easy walking distance of the station and city centre. Great that the staff will pick up your luggage from the station on arrival and it was in our room when we arrived. Afternoon tea was wonderful and we loved the pantry and record player in our room. A great place to stay.

Loved the unique features - a free snack pantry (sweets, drinks, fruit etc.), traditional record player in each room and records to pick and choose from, quirky but tasteful decorations. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable, clean, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms with easy to use push button bath/shower (no trying to work out which knob or lever to push or pull!), very comfortable underfloor heating in the bathroom. Lovely, comfortable lounge and bar and excellent restaurant.

If you’re staying in York, seriously—stop searching. This place is a gem. My partner and I were initially a bit unsure because the building looks quite old from the outside, but we were quickly blown away by the attention to detail inside. The room was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed and more—nice amenities, a turntable for some cozy vinyl vibes, and a pantry area with a great selection of snacks and drinks. The shower had surprisingly good pressure (which we really appreciated), and everything was spotless. Housekeeping came by daily to freshen things up and restock, which made the whole stay feel really well cared for. All in all, it was such a lovely stay—comfortable, charming, and way beyond what we expected.

I’ve stayed in their sister hotel No42 in Margate a couple of times and it’s excellent. Well No1 York did not disappoint it was beautiful friendly and luxurious! I love this little group of hotels and can’t recommend highly enough! One rue of thumb for me with hotels is how much the staff are invested and seem proud to work there and they do in spades here. Just fabulous, I’ll be back.

A wonderful Hotel just slightly away from the centre of York, but very, very walkable from the station and anywhere you might like to visit. The staff were engaging, wonderfully helpful, the room was perfect and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again in the future. Other touches like the "Pantry" and convenient onsite parking made it a real joy to stay.
