Advantages: good location, good food, new friends Disadvantages: small rooms
...is intimate to say the least!
The rooms are varied in shape and amenities, they have TV and tea & coffee making facilities, but we find OK for our week's stay, I believe that they do evening meals but there are so many eateries around that it would be a shame just to stay in.
Breakfasts are wonderful and plentiful.
Don't take our word - go and see it yourselves.

Advantages: Easy to get to. Disadvantages: Can be expensive.
...York is a very interesting and historic city. There are many informative and fascinating places to visit. These include the Minster, the National Railway Museum, the Yorvic VViking Centre amd the Castle Museum. Then there are the many less well known places, such as the Richard the III Museum. It is well worth a visit and Fairfax House, these two gems are well worth a look.
If history is not your thing, there are plenty of large shops and a great number of small and independant stores to choose from. A shoppers paradise!...

Advantages: Beautiful architecture, lots of culture, good pubs, loads to do, nice bars Disadvantages: Very crowded in summer, can be v.rough at night, not great for clubbing
...metres high (almost as high as the Minster but without the stairs!) and on a sunny day, you get amazing views over York. Adults go for £6, children for £4. You can also book a private pod for £44, or a VIP pod with a glass of champagne for £65 (this would be great for a special occasion, I'm trying to think of excuse to do that!)
Castle Museum
Another fantastic, entertaining interactive museum, attractions include reconstructed Victorian and Edwardian street scenes, (with a super-cute, old-fashioned sweet shop and Post Office!) The displays include beautiful Victorian dolls houses, a chocolate exhibit, and a Saxon helmet uncovered in the Jorvik dig, (which was almost crushed by a digger!) A good all-round family attraction.

We are just back from 4 nights in The Wellington Hotel. We booked it back in Jan'07 thru an online hotel booking site (I may have mentioned it in other reviews) We also booked flights directly with BA thru their website.

If you want to stay in Central New York then this is the hotel to book. It is actually IN Times Square! It's a huge modern hotel with over 45 floors so some of the views are great. There is a bar at the top which is a lovely place to have a drink,... more
The New Yorker is in an excellent midtown location with the subway (lines A, C & E) literally steps outside. Being on the corner of 8th Avenue and 34th Street this meant good access to Macy's, Empire State Building, Madison Square Gardens and the... more
