This hotel has loads of character. If you’re looking for something modern and high-tech, it’s probably not the place for you. But I felt like I got an authentic Yorkshire experience. The location is really good. Outside the city walls, so it’s easy to maneuver with a car. But only about a 10 minute walk from the center, so it was easy to get there (even in the middle of a rain storm, which I gather is not unusual). It’s unlikely I’ll travel again to York, as I feel I’ve checked it off the list. But if fate brings me there, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay at the Elmbank again.

Our one night stay was lovely. Fuss free, early check in with a cheeky upgrade, the room was clean, warm and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great the next morning. £18 for 24hr parking at the school. A short walk into York centre.

We loved that the hotel was in walking distance of the town centre, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle so was quiet at night. Felt safe, room was clean and a big room so great for the three of us sharing.

Birthday Escape
We stayed at the hotel for my mum’s birthday. We arrived to our room not being ready so waited in the bar and enjoyed one of the local gins. Chris very kindly helped us with our suitcase and was always happy to have a chat and give recommendations on the area. The room was beautiful on arrival, so spacious, amazing bathroom. Unfortunately, there was a problem with the hot water but the lovely lady on reception moved us quickly to another room which was just as beautiful and we really appreciated the great service. The bar was very cozy on the evening with a fire burning and a great ambience. The breakfast in the morning was great and the checkout process was easy. Overall a great stay and we will definitely return. Thank you to all the staff for their help, warm welcome and willingness to help, they made the stay for us.
