I had a good stay at Novotel York Centre overall, thanks to the friendly staff and great amenities. The location near the city center was perfect for exploring York. However, some minor issues, like the small bathroom setup, could use improvement. Despite that, the spacious rooms and the new bar area created a welcoming atmosphere for relaxation. 😊

I stayed in a superior room that was spacious and well-decorated, boasting an extremely comfortable bed. However, while the bathroom was impressive with great toiletries, the promised espresso machine was out of order and the minibar was empty. Despite these, the room was clean and cozy, conducive for a good night's sleep.

I had a mixed experience at Novotel York Centre. On one hand, the location was perfect for seeing the sights of York, just a lovely 10-minute walk from the city center along the river. The hotel lobby was beautifully decorated, and there were family-friendly amenities that my 18-month-old son enjoyed, especially the pool. However, the cleanliness of our room was disappointing, with stained carpets and a fridge that didn't work properly.

Rooms

5.0

While the room was spacious enough for our family, I was concerned about the cleanliness, as there were noticeable stains and the fridge was brown inside.

Service

The staff were friendly overall, but my check-in experience was subpar, with some staff seeming uninterested in my concerns. A more attentive approach would have improved my stay.

Location

8.0

Being so close to the city center and the river walk made exploring York extremely easy, which was a huge plus for my visit.

Dining

5.0

Breakfast was decent, though I thought the staff could have been more responsive in keeping the buffet stocked and friendly with guests. Having breakfast included would have been nice.

Facilities

7.0

The amenities were good, especially the pool for kids, but booking a time just to swim felt a bit restrictive. Plus, I did expect better from a hotel that charges for parking.
