Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly

The location is great, and a morning stroll through the town was lovely. The only downside was that the hotel's air conditioning wasn't working. I contacted the front desk three times, but to no avail. The first time, the lady at the front desk suggested turning it on and off multiple times to activate it. The second time, she came to the room to demonstrate, but when that didn't work, she said she'd go to the server room to adjust the AC settings, which also yielded no results. The third time, when I contacted a different staff member at the front desk, I was asked, 'Has someone already tried to fix it?' Then they brought a fan, repeatedly saying 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.' They explained that the AC cooling system couldn't be activated because the weather in York was cool. It was just 'I'm sorry' after that. It was the first time I'd heard such a reason for an AC not working. Nevertheless, the town of York is still very beautiful.

The rooms here are quite spacious for the UK, and breakfast is decent. It's close to Shambles and not too far from the train station. There's also a Tesco supermarket conveniently located nearby. The only downside during summer is the high price, making it less value for money. Also, remember to bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, and slippers, as they're not provided in the room!

This is a relatively new hotel in York, conveniently located within walking distance of The Shambles and the castle. The only downside is parking, as you have to use a paid parking lot a bit further away.

The hotel is located just south of York city, right opposite a bus stop. It's newly renovated and much better than the nearby Hilton, Holiday Inn, and Travelodge.

A solid hotel, comparable to Hampton Inn hotels back home. There are two Hampton Inns in York, so when driving, it's best to enter the postcode for navigation. Don't just type the brand name. If you use the hotel name, make sure to add the location. We went to the wrong one initially and had to drive for another 5 minutes to get to the correct one. The hotel's location is excellent. About 100 meters to the left when you exit, there's a Tesco Express, which is very affordable. On the ground floor outside the hotel, there's a surprisingly open, semi-enclosed glass baggage lift that can take large luggage up to the lobby. The rooms are spacious, and the bathroom has the standard Hampton Inn setup. The room is functional, similar to its counterparts in China, though it lacks the complimentary self-service laundry facilities typically found in equivalent hotels there. Breakfast is a self-service buffet included in the room rate. It's a British-style buffet with eggs, sausages, ham, grilled tomatoes, baked beans, various breads, toaster breads, four types of stewed fruit, fresh apples. On weekends, bananas are also available. There's coffee, fresh milk, yogurt, nuts, cereals, and portable packaged fiber biscuits. My friends were very happy with the food.

The room was quite small and the air conditioning wasn't very effective. There was an electric kettle, but no dental kit. The breakfast buffet in the morning was good. There are supermarkets, small restaurants, and bars very close by, just a short walk away.
