The Grand York

The hotel was a pleasant surprise and very impressive. Both the rooms in the new wing and the old building were very satisfactory – spacious, clean, and offered great value for money. Personally, I preferred the new wing; it felt more comfortable and modern. It's about a ten-minute walk to the old town, and York at night is even more enchanting, especially the hourly chimes of York Minster – absolutely captivating! The hotel is just a stone's throw from York train station. There are many restaurants near the station, including York's largest Chinese supermarket and various Chinese restaurants and a cha chaan teng, which was great for satisfying a craving for Chinese food or stocking up on groceries. The old city walls of York are right next to the hotel, and on a clear day, watching the sunrise or sunset from atop the walls is incredibly relaxing. However, the hotel charges £39 per day for valet parking, which is seriously expensive. They overcharged us once, and despite multiple attempts, they refused to refund it. This definitely merits a bad review!
