Top 10 Grays Court Hotels

Highly recommended! The hotel is in a very good location, right in front of York Minster, about ten minutes walk from the train station. It is a historic hotel, but it is well equipped, the rooms are beautiful, the staff is very polite, and the breakfast is very good. It is a form of self-service ordering, sitting at the window and watching the cathedral for breakfast.

The Fort is in the best location for seeing the whole of York. It was clean, welcoming, had fab little touches in the room. Rooms were spacious and well laid out. No air conditioning but as one day was particularly hot, when we returned a large fan had been placed in the room. No brewing up facilities in the room but a fabulous kitchenette on the 1st floor with kettle microwave mini fridge with various types of milk in and a large variety of hot drinks to make. The staff at Kennedys bar next door could not have been more helpful or friendly. The only downside was one of our rooms was at the front over where Manahatta nightclub next door was so the noise was loud until early hours. We had already realised this when we booked though and the Fort provided free earplugs in each room and a bowl of them in the kitchenette which we thought was going above and beyond.

My 11 year old son and I stayed at The Grand in York for two nights for sightseeing. There is an NCP car park on the same street, which gets patrons 10% discount and it secure. It’s about 12 minutes walk to York Minster Cathedral and about the same to Jorvik Viking Centre-utterly perfect location! The hotel is beautiful and staff are professional, but friendly and we’re super attentive to my overly keen and chatty son!❤️☺️ The pool is lovely and has a jacuzzi, steam room and sauna with treatment rooms. We also stumbled across The Cookery School, so we booked a Parent/Child 3 hour cookery lesson for £65 and made and ate Ravioli and Raspberry Semi-fresco-a new experience, but we are both sold and already looking to return! So much to see in beautiful York and this is the perfect location to do it from ❤️☺️

Close to the old city and the train station, the hotel facilities are perfect and the service is good
