Lovely place, just don't take a car
We had a very enjoyable stay, very friendly and helpful staff and a great location close to the city centre. The only issue we had was with parking.
Though the hotel has no on-site parking it can rent a limited number of places nearby. We booked one of these only to find someone else had taken our spot and we had to use the closest car park instead.

Great location wise and easy walk into the main town good size room, well decorated with well stocked mini bar 😊
Would recommend, only downside was we were in the room downstairs (basement) so view out of windows was not good.

Lovely for a short trip
Jorvik House was really nice. The room and bathroom were very clean and in good condition. Warm welcome at reception and overall very nice place to stay for a few days. My only complaint would be that it would have been nice to have things like milk, tea, loo roll, etc replenished when empty, rather than on request.

Absolutely fabulous place for a stay in York.
If you want a clean, stylish, friendly base fir a few days in York - you wont beat this hotel. Stayed in several York hotels- but love it here - just book it ! And a lovely stroll through museum gardens to York centre - perfect 👌
