5.6/10

My experience at The Churchill Hotel was quite mixed. While the location was incredibly convenient for exploring York, the service left much to be desired, especially in terms of responsiveness to concerns. I appreciated the friendly staff and the cleanliness of the hotel, but the decor felt overdone and the lack of hot water during my stay was disappointing. Overall, I think it could be a great place with some improvements.

Rooms

7.0

The room I stayed in was quite small and had a stuffy atmosphere, which wasn't ideal. There was a strong smell of paint upon entering, likely from recent refurbishments, but it was clean and had a comfy bed. However, I expected more amenities for the price I paid, like a minibar or extra towels.

Service

Facilities were decent, but I think there could be improvements. While the garden area is lovely, I found the bar area a bit dark and could see the parking fees could add up. Overall, it felt like some basics were overlooked.

The Churchill Hotel in York offered a lovely stay with its beautifully decorated rooms and friendly staff, though the noise from the nearby road and railway was a slight downside. The central location made it easy to explore the city, and the high-quality food was a particular highlight. I did experience some inconveniences, primarily with the breakfast timing and parking arrangements, which could definitely use improvement.

I had a lovely stay at The Churchill Hotel, which is beautifully located within a short walk to York city centre. The room I stayed in was clean and well-decorated, providing a very comfortable atmosphere.

My recent stay at The Churchill Hotel was a mixed experience. The hotel itself is beautifully decorated and well-located, just a short walk from York city centre. However, my room was far from perfect, suffering from heat issues and noise disturbances. As much as I appreciated the friendly staff, the shortcomings in my room overshadowed the positives.

My stay at The Churchill Hotel was a mixed bag. While the staff was incredibly welcoming and the food was good, I did encounter some issues with room comfort that detracted from my experience. Overall, the location and unique decor made it worthwhile, but there's room for improvement.

Rooms

The room was beautifully decorated, but I faced issues with the temperature as it got quite warm without air conditioning. Also, the accessibility was limited due to a very low window on the ground floor.
