What people say
very good value for money; hotel staff very friendly and helpful; hotel very clean and well decorated; rooms quiet and very comfortable; excellent choice of cereals, fresh fruit, and cooked menu for breakfasts; the lounge/bar area was nice place to meet up with my friends before we went out each evening; and basically everything about the hotel was excellent and I would 100% recommend it. Excellent hotel, very comfortable and friendly atmosphere - a real home from home. The rooms are generously proportioned and the staff couldn't have done enough for us. The breakfasts are excellent. Location of the hotel to York was good and only a 20minute walk or three minute taxi ride away. All in all we had a great weekend and would readily recommend The Limes to anyone.all reviews »

I found this to be an excellent to spend a weekend in York, the hotel is a 20 minute walk from the centre of York or 5 minutes on a bus.

Nice and attentive staff doing everything possible to give you the best service.Very nice hotel and very friendly people lovely breakfast. We were made very welcome and staff were happy to help in anything we needed. They also provided useful info on York. The hotel was closer to York than we expected with a very plesant riverside stroll into town. We did not have to use the car at all during our stay. Helpfulness of staffs - email response to query on booking form etcOpportunity of car parking space - something of a rarity in anincreasing number of city / (York) accommodations. Hot breakfast!. Staff were lovely, hotel was easy to find, clean and cosy - we had a wonderful engagement weekend away. nice family run hotel,clean,cosy and very welcoming. nice breakfast. So relaxed and friendly, it made our weekend complete.The Limes hotel is a fantastic friendly hotel. The plusses really do out way the negatives. Hotel is squeky clean. Traffice is not too noisy consider the hotel is situated along a busy road. Nice English classical room setting.Helpful staff, good breakfast, good parking, handy for going in to York on bus (with free senior bus passes). The location, the breakfast, the friendliness of the staff. Breakfast times maybe too early!. only complaint as such was that the bedroom was too warm but we just turned down the heating and opened the window.Accepting American Express credit cards. Shower room a bit cramped - could have done with more shelf space -toilet bags had to be balanced on toilet cistern and floor etc. Pictureon some tv channels very distorted and teletext didn't work. Bed a taduncomfortable / hard. Breakfast finished at 09.00 - just a bit earlyat weekends?. There are only 2 things that could have been better. The shower is not as good as an £85 a night room should have been as there was not enough water pressure for a good shower. The room was neat and tidy but was a bit dusty. Breakfast is nice, but not enough. Hotel stay is quite expansive.The tight entrance to the car park meant you had to turn around up the road before pulling in. Check in times, check out times and breakfast all set to suit owners and not guests (can only check in before 2pm and after 6pm) most people would arrive about 3-00 or 4-00 pm.
