Disappointing room

Liked: Location was great
Disliked: The room we stayed in had 2 velux windows with no window coverings so when the light broke through at 4am we were awake from that point as the light was bouncing in. Very hot room with no fan

Breakfast couldn't make up for...

Liked: Comfy bed, great location and breakfast was decent
Disliked: We'd spent a couple of nights in York before this where other than checking in we didn't have to speak to staff as everything we needed was in the room. This was the complete opposite, felt like criminal at worst and a pest at best. Had to ask for iron, hairdryer which burned out after 2 minutes, milk which was given fresh in a bottle but there was no fridge. The room was stifling so had to ask for a fan which we had to leave on permanently. You get 3 hangers, one snapped in half putting a t shirt on it. The bathroom door didn''t shut and there was dirt in the bath.

Lovely stay at WH&G

Liked: Love the hotel and location, food was great too
Disliked: I can see why you don't provide packs of milk as it's single use plastic but it was a bit of a pain having to come down 3 flights of stairs for fresh milk and it was so hot it was hard to keep the milk fresh in the room

Testing!

Liked: Central location and the history
Disliked: It wasn’t very customer friendly. The bed wasn’t made once, toiletries were not replaced even though staff had been in the room. The bed was very uncomfortable, we had to change the mattress round. The window was wedged open with a bit of wood. The milk for tea was in a bottle with no way of keeping it cool. Some of the staff were abrupt

Was ok probably wouldn’t book...

Liked: Place has a great history, rooms were nice and clean as were the bathrooms.
Disliked: WiFi not working, no milk in the room to make a drink, online photos show bottles of water in rooms however these weren’t supplied. Staff were overheard gossiping about other guests and at times were quite abrupt.We didn’t like certain items on the breakfast so asked for them to be taken off - no replacement item was offered and worst of all the bar closes at 10pm on the dot.
