The location of the hotel was perfect. A short walk from the main centre and parking nearby isn’t a problem. Overnight you can park by RingGo on the road outside if there’s space rather than leaving it in a nearby carpark. It’s not a pretty hotel from the outside but looks can be deceiving. Inside the welcome from the staff was warm. All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Very smiley and attentive. The family room we booked was very comfortable. Anyone who has concerns about two kids sleeping on a sofa bed needn’t worry. It was super comfy and there was plenty of room for my 12 and 10yr olds. Comfy beds, great bathroom toiletries and fluffy towels. The hotel was decorated ready for Halloween which we loved, and it seemed to be a good place for families to stay with toys, books and games available. Breakfast was a little manic but the staff were great and did their best to refill everything. Food was pretty good too.

Our room was situated overlooking the dirty linen bins outside and some extractor fans. There was a sign saying the fans switch off at midnight, which they did, but they made a heck of a noise before that point! Luckily we had earplugs with us, otherwise we would have had to move because it was pretty noisy. Tinned mushrooms to be replaced with fresh, but this is a minor irk!

Mobility adapted room as requested, amazing breakfast (pancake machine!), very friendly and accomodating staff, good temperature controls in room, good firm bed, great location (opposite a good wethers), handy luggage storage facility

Fairly minor for us but could be a problem for others; the wall and door to the adjoining room were paper thin, we could hear clearly everyones conversation and footstep the guests were having and they kept trying our adjoining door (maybe a sign on it explaining its not a cupboard could help?). Luckily the guests weren't loud through the night though. The (cool wooden) key cards stopped working twice as well, but we're immediately sorted

Great value for money. We had been staying in a more expensive hotel for the weekend and decided to stay in York for an extra night on a whim, so selected the Holiday Inn based on price. Turns out it was actually nicer than the more expensive hotel! Large, clean room with an extra-large bed.

The manager pressured me to leave a positive review on check-out, asking me to get out my phone so that I could do it there and then. My partner had actually already walked outside with my phone so I couldn't, but I didn't like how pushy he was. We had a great stay and would have left a good review without this unnecessary pressure.

Great location, clean, had everything that was needed

Nothing everytging was great We had a great stay, the room and hotel was lovely, great value for money and generally clean. Only issue we really had was we left our cases to go look around York on the day we were leaving. When we went back to pick up our cases and handed in the tickets we where given the wrong case, this was a little concerning as you don’t want then someone else leaving with your case. It was quickly sorted when we pointed out where the cases had been previously taken to by another member of staff.

We booked at very short notice, late at night after a storm which had caused widespread travel disruption and had prevented our onward train travel. The hotel was a safe 20 minute walk from the station. The room was ready on our arrival, including the sofa bed being made up as requested. The room and beds were very clean and comfortable. The staff were courteous and helpful.

The price was very high for what is a fairly standard room but all hotels in York increase their prices on a Saturday night and the price here was slightly better than others that we could find at short notice. There was some traffic noise, even from the fourth floor. Buffet breakfast was expensive so we ate elsewhere.

Its location was great. The hotel was clean and the staff were very friendly from reception to the restaurant to the housekeeping. Everything was absolutely marvellous. We had a lovely time. Excellent10 out of 10 Rochelle and the rest of the staff at reception were really so kind, so thoughtful and helpful. We couldn’t six we we. We couldn’t want for anymore. Many thanks to Holiday Inn for having such a very very good team at York city centre hotel

It would’ve been nice to have a couple of more hooks to hang things in the bathroom, especially the towels and also the wardrobe could’ve been bigger to be able to fit more in, but they are only little things compared to the rest of the hotel which was great

Very welcoming staff and friendly throughout our stay, took the time to speak with you and check all was ok. Needed some extra pillows and towels, arrived within a few minutes of request. Room was very nice and clean. really enjoyed our stay. Manager was warm and very friendly this was reflected throughout the staff. Would stay here again next year.

All very good, the only thing I could ask to improve are the bar meals, I had the curry, although nice, for the price of £11.95 it could have come with either garlic or nann bread, it was just plain rice and the curry, the portion was a bit small. I had to order a garlic bread to go along with it, but that was pizza size and too big for one. I would have had more meals in hotel if they were a bit better.

This hotel was brilliant. The rooms are very spacious and very clean! The bed was very comfortable. We stayed with our two young children, the sofa bed was set up already for our stay which was a nice touch. We had the breakfast in the morning also which was lovely. The food was very nice, restaurant area very clean, and lots of options. The kids loved the breakfast. Staff were also very approachable and welcoming. I would stay at this hotel again, thank you for a great stay.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like about the hotel, everything was amazing!

During my recent two-night stay at the Holiday Inn in York, I was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service provided. Rochelle, in particular, stood out for her warmth, professionalism, and helpfulness. She was not only incredibly informative but also made me feel genuinely welcomed throughout my stay.

While my stay at the Holiday Inn in York was enjoyable, I believe room service could benefit from a few improvements. It would be great if guests could order a nightcap from the bar in the late evenings and have a menu in the room to easily browse meal and snack options. These additions would enhance the overall experience.

Had to move rooms as only set up for 3 not 4 people, initially told no other rooms available, then came back to us saying there was one we could move too, sofa bed was OK but definitly not for adults as like sleeping in a water bed, room service menu not great but can uber eats to hotel, staff friendly, room clean, struggled for sockets at side of bed, but overall a good stay

Sofa bed not great, tv not fab, not a smart TV so couldn't screen share Netflix from phone as do in alot of hotels, so was stuck with free view TV
