Family-friendly Hotels in York

The Grand Hotel boasts an excellent location, making it a convenient choice for exploring the city. The facilities are top-notch, offering a blend of luxury and comfort that one would expect from a prestigious establishment. However, the service fell short of expectations, especially considering its five-star rating. While it may be due to the busy tourist season, the level of service provided was inconsistent. In particular, the doormen and porters left a lot to be desired, with some interactions being notably poor. This detracted significantly from the overall experience, as such issues are not expected at a hotel of this caliber. Overall, while the hotel's amenities and location are commendable, the service quality needs improvement to truly match the standards of a five-star hotel.

I love this hotel, much better now it’s been refurbished as the previous decor was way out of date. Nothing too much trouble - more buiscuits, more pillows, I asked and they were delivered immediately. A massive thank you to Margo for arranging my 2 night stay, so good I stayed an extra night thinking I’d have to change rooms but they said stay put which was great. Look forward to staying here again and working with Margo in the future.

I'm giving a '5' rating because I think the owner and staff do as well as they can with this place, but there are some issues that I don't see any of the other reviews mention (or at least as far as I read), so I want to highlight those as well. The positives: Location is great for walking into the main area of York even if it is just a bit on the outskirts. Breakfast was fine and plentiful, though I have no idea what a good 'full English breakfast' is from a bad one. The sausage definitely didn't taste like American sausage, but I assume it isn't supposed to. But there are other breakfast options as well. The dining area is very nice. The owner (or whom I assume is the owner) is just as pleasant and helpful as can be. She helped us navigate our way around town and highlighted the places to visit. The not-as-positives: We had trouble finding the 'shortcut' to walk it from the train station. You'll probably want to use your phone for directions, but if they provided a map rather than text directions, it would be helpful Being a house, there are no elevators. We were pleasantly offered help with our luggage, but be warned that it does have to be carried up steps if you are in a room on other than the ground floor. As for our room itself, it was small, and wasn't easy to navigate around in with two suitcases. The bathroom shower would not fit a large person. Fortunately, we are both on the slimmer side, but it was even tight for us. The noise from traffic was very apparent, as was noise from other guests. We literally heard another guest snoring in an adjoining room. So essentially, the place isn't 'perfect', but I think it's a good value and deserves to be considered. We're likely to never find ourselves in York again since we don't travel that often (but it's well worth a visit), and frankly, if we did, we'd probably research other accommodations as well, but I wouldn't discourage anyone from using Apple House.

We have just returned after a 2 night stay. As some of the first guests to use this site we were impressed with the set up. We had electric hook up. There was spotless toilets and showers in the main stable blocks . Loads of hot water and pot washing facilities outside. There was a communal room where large screen TVs and breakfast was available to purchase in the mornings. Everything from fresh fruit , cereal , or the full English. We were well looked after by the team there and nothing seemed a problem for them. Very warm and welcoming. Plenty of refuse bins available and a warden who made regular walk rounds. It’s about a 5 min taxi ride to the centre of York but just outside the gate there is a Chinese takeaway, fish and chip shop and two decent pubs. A local shop is a couple of hundred yards down the road. They also have rooms to rent which seemed very reasonably priced and again spotlessly clean. We stayed with family in 3 tents and we all agree we would not hesitate to go back. Well worth a visit if your exploring York and the surrounding area. Thank you for a great weekend .
