"Courteus, efficient and friendly staff, very clean, modern hotel, appears recently refurbished. Nice room, quite small but comfortable, good shower + bath. Cannot think of any negatives."

"Staff, room, decor, bed linen, all fabulous!! Disappointing you don’t get a small carton of milk in fridge though! Pathetic sachets of milk "

"We stayed in the traditional classic room, part of the original building. Hotel is beautiful - staff are extremely well trained and helpful. Food in the Rise restaurant is first class. Room was well appointed and spotless, yet furniture a little creaky and well used - but understandable. Certai ly would.welcome a little facelift like the executive rooms on the newer uplifted part the building. Minor niggle- the slider divider doors for bathroom and toilet felt cumbersome and not really in keeping with the overall lovely room experience. Make no mistake, for York, this is the best hotel by far. Deserves a 5 star rating for what was a 5 star experience. Spa and pool facility is a winner. Unbeatable location is another ! A stones throw from the Shambles, museum, Clifford Tower, etc etc and 3 minutes from the train station. Definitely recommend the Grand Hotel - but is it worth the hefty price tag for a few nights? Yes. It was a great place. "

"Nice clean didn’t use any facilities but polite staff"

"Fantasticly clean, well kept and friendly staff. The breakfast has a great variety of pastries, cereal to a full English. The bar is well stocked with a good variety of drinks and the bar menu is a great addition. Free WiFi is excellent. Only downfall was the height of the bed as my mum struggled to get up off it but we managed and it didn't damper our stay. We love it here and will return as we have before. "
