Situated close to the historic city of York, within easy access of the North York Moors, Herriot Country and the picturesque North East coastline, the non smoking Elmbank Hotel provides an ideal base for all visitors whether traveling on business or pleasure.

Elmwood Hotel York

The staff were very accomodating, the room clean, bathroom spotless. Location : a 10 minute walk into the heart of York. Only negative was the lack of Wi Fi which I need when abroad even though it's a vaction I need to be able to connect with loved ones and clients back home. BTW the "lounge" is an amazing space in oak panelling with very comfortable armchairs. Breakfast was good too.

Sightseeing tip: Short walk from hotel

York is steeped in history, the Elmwood is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle and close enough to get to the heart in 10 minutes (if like me you have the "New York strut")

New to York? Good location.

Visiting for 3 days - within easy walking distance to centre of city. Receptionist very helpful with distances and times to drive, e.g. to Whitby. Pleasant walk to racecourse across the road. Traffic a bit noisy but room very pleasant with high ceilings, large windows and everything we needed. Main hallway with winding staircase to upper floor is exceptionally beautiful. Good value.

The staff ruined it

Customer service and service with a smile seriously lacking. Room was not ready until nearly an hour after the check-in time and we received no apology we were just herded to the bar to buy drinks. Bank Holiday lie in ruined by the cleaners hoovering from 7am. If returning late after last orders at the pub expect a long wait at the doorstep.

Don't bother paying the extra £8.50. Walk in to York and you can get something far superior for half the cost.

Normal price listed as GBP130/night.

Normal price listed as GBP130/night. We thought we were getting a bargain at GBP49 for a twin. The room was tiny, one of the blankets was child size and we had to make the beds ourselves. They do have large rooms also, but to suggest our room was normally 130 pounds is frankly dishonest. On the plus side, the lobby area is lovely as is the staff, with the exeption of the surly young woman at reception in the mornings. Our room was barely worth the budget price we paid. We won't be back.

A bad experience.

The broadband of this hotel is very bad.The room was also very small and the whole hotel is to old. The low price is the only good point i can find.

Was disappointed to find that

Was disappointed to find that although when booking my 3 night stay I'd indicated I needed to check in close to midday, when I arrived at 12.30pm I was told I couldn't check in. No-one even checked if my room was ready; I was merely told repeatedly that 'check in is from 2pm'.

A rooms were a little tired, but

A rooms were a little tired, but the foyer etc of hotel was nice. The young blonde girl on reception seemed like she did not want to be there - did not make eye contact or ever smile - not good customer relations.
