York Hotels with Swimming Pools

The Grand Hotel boasts an excellent location, making it a convenient choice for exploring the city. The facilities are top-notch, offering a blend of luxury and comfort that one would expect from a prestigious establishment. However, the service fell short of expectations, especially considering its five-star rating. While it may be due to the busy tourist season, the level of service provided was inconsistent. In particular, the doormen and porters left a lot to be desired, with some interactions being notably poor. This detracted significantly from the overall experience, as such issues are not expected at a hotel of this caliber. Overall, while the hotel's amenities and location are commendable, the service quality needs improvement to truly match the standards of a five-star hotel.

My wife and I stayed for 2 nights and were drawn in by reputation and quality of the other principal hotels across the country. I was shocked to read so many bad reviews and almost booked somewhere else as a result. It seems most of the intolerant previous residents had issues with noise, smells. food, rooms, service. We didn’t experience any of that and can only conclude that most of the reviews are either planted as false information by competitors or result of warm summer, outdoor bar or questionable views / aspect of room. We stayed in a king on 3rd floor, room 300. If you’re worried about anything just book that one! Tasteful clean decor and great views to the minster. Notable comments for James who went above and beyond to sort out a small issue with audio description hardcoded into the TV, sorted smoothly and efficiently. Great location, atmosphere and setting. We will be back with our dog next time. Don’t believe everything you read from dissolutioned guests who want a megaphone to comment on perceived issues.

We come every year between Xmas and new year for a short break and this year, even as we stepped through the front doors noticed a difference. Guests now have to pay to park at the hotel (£7.99 a night), the coffees at breakfast is no longer brought to the table, and no freshly made omelettes anymore! Rooms are not maintained each day by housekeeping, so after two nights we had to approach reception to ask them to empty our bins and replenish teas/coffees in the room. Front desk staff were friendly though staff at the leisure centre less so- quite abrupt in their manner! While we love it here for convenience we might look at alternative hotels in York next year!

Was worried reading reviews but we had the best get away here for our wedding anniversary. Our room was overlooking the small courtyard and was very clean. Could not fault our room. We arrived early so had a drink at the bar, check in was quick and easy and the lady on reception was very pleasant and polite. Nice touch of chocolates in our room for our anniversary. Only a 10 minute walk into the main centre which has plenty to do and see. Before we left Sunday we wanted to explore and was advised we could stay in the car park as long as needed. Was very quiet in our room and had a decent night sleep. We will definitely return, we had the most perfect weekend.

When we arrived there was no staff anywhere to be seen until someone from restaurant came and got someone, however when she did arrive she was very nice and helpful. I asked to be in a refurbished room and wasn’t, shower was broke and hanging off the hinges and squirts all over. The car parking is not good as there is only 6 spaces and it’s £10 per night. Food was nice however wasn’t fully well done like I asked but was still nice. Lovely man in restaurant and guy behind reception on nights took pictures for us and brought my bfs surprise bday cake out. Lovely night staff got us water after we arrived back after night out. Would like to thank the housekeeping staff for making the room lovely with all of the decorations I brought to decorate it with for my bfs bday.

Staff really friendly and helpfull ,didnt get chance to try the food so cant comment on that , nice 10 minute walk into city centre close to york races , was clean but feel could do with little update in room but everyrhing you need for nice stay in york

This was a treat from me to myself. I had a fabulous time at Middlethorpe Hall. From the spa to the dinner to the breakfast and treatment the next morning. It was a dream. The garden is also very pleasant to walk around and every single staff member I crossed paths with made sure I felt welcome. I highly recommend!

The room was lovely, comfortable bed with all the amenities you need for a short stay. It was let down by the breakfast and the cleanliness of the spa. The spa closed at 7 on the Saturday evening which we thought was a little early for a Saturday evening so we went in the morning before breakfast. We arrived at 7.40am and headed for the steam room. Looking past the fact that it is old and in need of an update it was so dirty I didn’t want to sit down and wished I’d taken my flip flops. There was hair, dirt and grime everywhere. It had only been open 40mins so to see this level of uncleanliness was unexpected. We then went for breakfast (included in the nights stay) We were greeted and seated by a lovely young lady. She showed us where everything was and told us that breakfast could be a little longer than usual as they were busy. Had no problem with this and appreciated being informed. I went to get juice and pastries but the OJ was empty and there were no pastries left. When I asked if they were replenishing I was told ‘I think people have taken a lot today’. She came to our table 5 minutes later to apologise with two croissants explaining they had run out of pastries. Breakfast was between 7 - 10am we arrived at 8.45! The table next to us arrived 30 minutes later and asked the same, they were simply told ‘sorry we have been really busy today and already been serving breakfast for 2 1/2 hours’. My husband had the full English which he enjoyed and I had the eggs florentine. Described on their menu as creamed spinach with eggs and hollandaise. Guess they were too busy to remember the creamed spinach on my breakfast. When I asked the waitress she seemed confused so I showed her the menu. She said she would replace it but I’d already waited for the meal and didn’t want to wait any longer so declined and ate what I had. Overall not the best experience.

I held my ‘significant’ birthday party at the Parsonage and it was fabulous. I had the Crystal Suite which was perfect for my 40+ guests with a 6 piece live band and dance floor. All of the planning and preparation was seamless, with the team being flexible, efficient and helpful. We had 15 bedrooms, at a special rate, for guests who wanted to stay over. The team couldn’t do enough for us on the night. The food was delicious and all the guests complimented it. The service was both friendly and efficient. We had an absolutely top night and the whole event was great value for the quality we received. I’d heartily recommend for an event.
