Hotel Zill's (York, United Kingdom)

The location in central York is perfect for travellers who plan to explore this historic English city. Guests loved that everything from famous landmarks to many excellent restaurants, pubs, and shops are just a short walk away.

Visitors raved about the freshly-made Mediterranean cuisine prepared by the hosts. Both the quality of the food as well as the variety were praised, with people specifically citing the daily breakfast as a high point of their stay.

The family who owns and runs the bed and breakfast are attentive to the needs of their guests and work hard to cultivate a warm and homey environment. The hosts were also said to be very helpful with things like parking and luggage when needed.

Owing to the location in central York, a number of visitors reported noise from the local traffic and nearby establishments. This was a bigger problem in the suites facing the street, and reviewers recommended requesting a room at the back of the building.

Many guests stated that the rooms are rather basic and mostly suitable for shorter stays. People also noted that the building is showing its age and reported issues such as noisy plumbing, problems with water temperature and pressure, and tired bathrooms in need of refurbishment.

Due to the age of the building, some of the suites are smaller than travellers may be accustomed to. The single rooms in particular were said to be small and oddly laid out, with a tiny shower and toilet area that did not allow for the bathroom door to open fully.
