The Groves

The Groves Hotel is perfect for anyone who wants to stay in a nice, quiet hotel which is close to the centre of York. Our room was spacious and clean with a large bathroom and had everything we needed like tea and coffee, hairdryer etc. Breakfast was also lovely with a selection of cereals, juices and cooked breakfst. All of the staff were polite, helpful and very friendly. The location is great as its on a quiet street but is very close to York Minster and the city centre. I will definitely stay here again next time I come to York.

Pros: - Room was clean and tidy - Hotel is in a quiet location, 15 mins walk from the centre of town - Staff were friendly - Breakfast was tasty - Parking not a problem Cons: - The hotel is in need of a bit of a spruce-up. Bannisters, paintwork etc were a bit bashed and this did spoil the look of the hotel to a degree. - Decor is a bit dated and tired; boutique hotel chic it's not. All in all the hotel did the big things well but, although we had no problems, I think we'd try something different... more

A delightful Hotel close to the City Centre. Friendly, helpful staff which is important for a lady travelling alone. Lovely breakfast and a pleasant bar/lounge to relax in. Lovely spacious room which is unusual when booking a single ! would recommend this Hotel and will stay again if I go back to York.

The room was clean and the staff were very polite and helpful. Breakfast was OK, I have had better There was a musty smell in places of the hotel. Overall I am neutral about this hotel.

I am a London/ Wimbledon resident and I travel to York frequently, some-times by train but mostly by car. I have stayed at the Groves on at least twelve occasions this year alone, I expect reasonable levels of comfort and personal service and here I get it. If anyone can find a hotel which costs as little as the rates charged by this hotel and provides the comfort, convenience and cheerful, helpful staff of the quality provided at The Groves I'd say they are very lucky.

The hotel was quiet and the room, which was in a very nice annex across the road from the main building, was spacious and spotlessly clean. Furniture in good condition and tea/coffee facilites ample. The staff were efficient and when we had leave unexpectedly (nothing to do with the hotel) were very helpful. Location fairly convenient - about 10 minutes' walk from town centre - and on a quiet side road. Only thing to bear in mind is that you would need to request a room in the main building if you want to be near the restaurant.

Recently we stayed at The Groves Hotel, York. This is a small friendly Hotel with lots of atmosphere. We had already stayed at this Hotel but second time around it seemed even better. Try it I am sure you will like it. Sonia.

The hotel was great, huge room based on European standards. Beautiful brick buildings, big trees, well taken care of property and buildings. Clean, quiet, comfortable room. A great value. The town of York is a must visit. A great escape from the bustle of London. Be sure to visit the Hole in the Wall pub, a great little pub in walking distance. ~Luke and Jessica

I thought that this was a lovely hotel in a quiet tree-lined avenue. The staff were extremely friendly and the room was incredibly clean. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would have no hesitation in recommending it.

On Saturday 15 May, myself and over 40 of my relatives stayed at this hotel for a booked family reunion. We stayed for dinner, bed and breakfast. Members of my family had travelled from across the UK to meet at this hotel. My dad went to the hotel the week before our event and had checked that the bar open until 1am. He was assured that this would be the case. The bar closed at 11pm. My father and another member of our party queried this with the manager as the lady behind the bar explained that they were understaffed and she... more
