acceptable stay overall

helpful directions garden view needed item single chair bedroom bathtub warm room
the staff gave helpful directions and recommendations. the room faced the gardens and it was quiet. i found everything i needed in the room.
there was a small table with only one chair. i did not need a bathtub, especially not in the bedroom. the radiator in the bathroom could not be switched off, so the room was very warm.

really good experience

friendly receptionist ideal location all amenities
the room had all the amenities i needed. the receptionist was very polite and friendly, they gave me all the information i needed. the hotel location is ideal, a short walk into the centre is a plus. i will recommend jorvik house to anyone.
i found no hot water available for showering one morning. it took time and persuasion for this to be resolved. the lady on reception did not seem very keen to resolve the problem. i think more positivity would have helped matters.

the room had retro sweets, what a treat. the location put everything so close! the staff were very helpful, offered perfect recommendations for food and entertainment. they even gave me a tray with plates for my takeaway food.

Wonderful Stay!

The in-room snacks and drinks provided a great variety! I found the staff helpful. They promptly addressed my questions. The hotel's quiet area with a nice garden provided a relaxing atmosphere. I will recommend this hotel.
The council car park nearby got busy, requiring a bit of a wait for a space.

mixed feelings about the stay

modern room fine facilities surprise card check lack of trust
the room was modern and the facilities seemed fine.
I didn't care for the surprise card check upon arrival. It was like they didn't trust me to not raid the minibar, and that's not a great way to start a stay.
