Burn Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff very helpful hotel clean and comfortable would stay again"

Elmbank York, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"It was a joy to spend a night in this lovely hotel. The reception staff Sophie and Nadia were so friendly helpful and professional, as were the bar and restaurant staff.It was a delight to interact with them all. My room was perfect, off the courtyard and I experienced no noise through the night. It was the hottest day of the year so far, so the air conditioning was a life saver. Lovely comfortable bed and pillows.The bathroom toiletries were top quality and had a beautiful scent. I ate in the restaurant and found it to have a lovely atmosphere with a menu catering to big and small appetites. My food was lovely and I felt for the chef who must have been melting! The girls running the bar and serving in the restaurant were quietly efficient and happy to help with anything. If I get the chance to return I will. Thank you everybody."
