Great value stay in York
We had a fantastic stay at The Crescent - the room was large with bay window and ensuite, good coffee machine and it was a really comfortable stay. The owner was friendly and helpful. It is a short walk to the city centre and train station so an excellent location. I would recommend staying here and we will certainly return next time we are in York.

The staff was very welcoming, and gave us a run down of attractions in York. They accomidated our request for ground floor due to physical limitations, which other locations did not. Mo even made us and another couple dinner one night. It was within walking distance of the train station. I would definitely stay here again

It was very nice. Lovely rooms. When we arrived disheveled from a missed train and pouring rain the wonderful host gave us tea and coffee. He was very nice and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

Great location and price. Slightly outdated and was woken up a few times overnight due to noise from other guests going in and out of rooms (earplugs were provided by the hotel but I mistakenly did not use them). Overall very good for a cheap night close to the city centre.
