The hype
Travelers adore the stained glass and lobby decor, but often find the breakfast service chaotic and the annex rooms a bit soulless compared to the main house.

다음의 경우 예약하세요 You want a boutique stay in a stunning Art Nouveau mansion without the city-center chaos (or price tag).
사람들이 좋아하는 이유
- One of the UK's finest Art Nouveau collections inside a hotel
- Quiet location on The Mount, just a 10-minute walk to Micklegate Bar
- Leetham’s Brasserie and Peacock Bar offer genuine historic ambiance
한눈에 보기: A visual masterpiece in the main house that feels a bit like a museum, but you'll likely be sleeping in the modern annex out back.
@Thegirlwiththeredhat님의 리뷰: I felt like I walked onto a movie set here. The Art Nouveau details are stunning, and curling up by that massive fireplace with a drink was the perfect way to end a chilly day in York. You have to try the dinner menu, it's honestly next level.

Reality check
You book for the Art Nouveau history, but unless you specifically request a 'Main House' room, you might end up in a standard block that feels like any other chain hotel.
- You appreciate architecture and want to stay in a literal Art Nouveau landmark
- You prefer a 10-minute buffer walk from the drunk crowds in York city center
- You are driving (on-site parking is rare in York, even if it costs £18)
청결 & 유지관리
8.2
- Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some reports of missed dust on intricate woodwork.
- Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are typically sparkling, especially the renovated ones. Watch for 'filthy pedal bins' in older suites.
- Maintenance: Main House shows its age with creaky floors; Annex heating units are the main failure point.
- Linens & towels: Fresh, white, and fluffy. No major complaints here.
- Odors & scents: Main house smells of old wood and polish (pleasant); some annex rooms can smell sterile or stuffy.

예약 전에
알아둘 사항
- Parking is £18/night and limited; overflow is at the Mount School next door (also £18).
- Breakfast is around £20 and gets mixed reviews—consider walking to Micklegate instead.
- The 'Rattle Owl' restaurant nearby has closed; try its successor 'Brancusi' or 'Skosh'.
준비물
- Earplugs (essential for Main House road noise or Annex HVAC hum)
- Walking shoes (it's a 15-20 min walk to the Minster/Shambles)
- Umbrella (York weather is unpredictable and you have a walk to town)
객실 지니
최고의 선택
- Main House Superior Deluxe (for the high ceilings, roll-top baths, and full Art Nouveau experience)
- Courtyard King (if you prioritize silence over history and want a modern bathroom)
피해야 할 객실
- Ground floor rooms facing the road (privacy and noise issues)
- Annex rooms near the HVAC plant (vibration/hum complaints)

자주 묻는 질문 및 숨은 팁
예약하기 전에 실제로 알고 싶은 모든 것.
Is there really no gym on site?
Correct. You have free access to 'The Milner Gym' (pool, sauna, gym), but it is a 15-minute walk away.
How far is the walk to the train station?
About 10-12 minutes on foot. It's a straight shot down The Mount/Blossom Street.
Is the hotel pet friendly?
Yes, dogs are welcome for a £30 fee per stay. They get a bed and bowl, but can't go in the main restaurant.
Does the hotel have an elevator?
There is a lift in the main house, but it's small and doesn't reach every split-level landing. The annex is mostly ground floor.
Is the parking guaranteed?
No. It's first-come, first-served. If the hotel lot is full, you'll be directed to the school next door.
What is the difference between House and Lodge rooms?
House rooms are in the 19th-century mansion (historic, unique). Lodge/Courtyard rooms are in the modern extension (standard, boxy, quieter).
내부자 팁
- ✨
The Peacock Bar has some of the best stained glass in the city—grab a drink there even if you don't stay.
- ✨
Bus stops right outside take you to the city center if it's raining.
- ✨
Ask for a 'garden view' room in the Main House to get the history without the road noise.
가기 전에 알아야 할 5가지
💡The 'Annex' feels like a completely different hotel—modern but lacking the soul of the main building.
💡The walk to town involves crossing some busy intersections; it's not a quaint cobblestone stroll until you hit Micklegate.
💡Housekeeping can be hit-or-miss with dusting high surfaces (like those ornate door panels).
💡The heating in the annex is controlled by wall units that some guests find annoyingly loud at night.
💡You might spot wedding parties taking over the lobby on weekends.
