    heavy luggage stairs

    Perfect Spot for Relaxation

    So, this place was amazing! I loved the cozy room with a hot tub on the terrace. After two days of travel, I really needed that! The bar had great drinks too. The only tricky part was hauling my heavy luggage up the stairs. But honestly, I loved every second of my stay!

    ear plugs
    decent stay

    Just a decent option for a momentary pause in York with good price-value balance. The ear plugs provided helped with the street noise situation. If you're sensitive to sound, consider looking for a quieter room location.

    gothic aesthetic
    floating bed
    lush products
    damp smell
    dim lighting

    Staying in the Labyrinth room was a unique experience. The aesthetics were captivating, with a gothic vibe that added to the charm of the room. The bed felt like it was floating and was incredibly comfortable. A delightful touch was the array of LUSH products provided, making our stay feel special. the room did have a strong smell of damp, and lighting was quite dim, which made it difficult to get ready in the morning.

    earplugs

    This was an optimal selection for a brief visit in York with good price value. The earplugs provided were a nice touch to block out street noise.

    The rooftop hot tub was pure luxury! Super relaxing after our day exploring. Just a bit bummed about the noise from the nearby McDonald's at night. 😅

    great attention to detail but room size could improve

    The attention to detail throughout our stay was exceptional. The complimentary cold hand flannels and a variety of high-quality soaps provided a personalized experience.

    The room size felt a bit cramped for our liking.

    Unique atmosphere with intriguing decor that adds character, making it feel distinct from typical hotels. Location provides easy access to local attractions, perfect for exploring the area.

    Lighting throughout the hotel leans heavily to the dark side, which might be off-putting for some. No elevator, meaning hauling luggage up stairs can be a hassle, especially without clear pathways for easier navigation. The hot tub lacks coverage, which could be a drawback in less-than-stellar weather. Privacy issues due to a frosted glass toilet door may not sit well with everyone, especially since there's no lock. For those seeking workspace, the lack of a desk or vanity could be a letdown, limiting convenience for personal preparation.
