Kilima Hotel

I stayed at this hotel in April 2007 for one night. The hotel is situated near York train station and is a short walk from the city centre. The rooms are spacious clean and have tea/coffee making facilities, TV and telephone. The hotel has a swimming pool, which we didn’t use. Breakfast was inclusive of our rate, which was a cooked English breakfast with cereal and toast. There was also the option for a supplement to have a superior breakfast with kippers etc… The only downside, which was by no means, the fault... more

This is not the first time I have stayed at this hotel but is the first time I have written a review as a member of Trip Advisor. I booked a one night stay double bedroom. The Receptionist as always was very friendly and our room was ready even though we had arrived early. The room was lovely, clean and nicely decorated. To my surprise we had a four poster bed and an additional room with a larger TV and a large sofa. As with every room we have stayed in we had tea, coffee & hot chcolate and biscuits, Hair dryer , trouser... more

Myself and my partner booked this hotel for a weekend away without the kids. 1st impressions was what have we done but the moment we walked thru the door it was a different story.

My friend and I stayed here over Christmas. We were in an Executive room but we were over the kitchen and the expelling air fan was noisy until late at night.

You can catch a bus across the road into town as it is just over a mile out of the town centre, instead of using the car parks, as they are quite expensive.

I satayed at the Kilima Hotel with my husband for my 40th Birthday. I found the staff to be very stuck up, the rooms in need of a good dust there were cobwebs on the ceiling. Meals were okay. Although there was egg shell in the scrambled egg. Lots of noise during the night.

For an 'economy' hotel, we received good value. What distinguished this hotel, and made it worth commenting on, was it's staff ..... the restaurant provided great service and excellent meals, we felt very comfortable and 'at home' at the Kilima. Worth considering.
