York Hotels

Located in northern England, York is an historic town which pre-dates Roman times. As well as boasting some excellent examples of buildings from the past, the city also has a good shopping centre, including the quaint cobbled streets of the Shambles, plus excellent pubs and restaurants. The city has also become something of a festival city of late.

Choosing a York Hotel

York is a city which caters well for visitors. There is a whole raft of York hotels to choose from, whether you are looking for a plush extravagant experience or a purse-friendly place to stay. There are also functional family hotels to choose from too, if this is your priority. If you are looking for a bargain, there are also cheap hotels in York including bed and breakfast arrangements. If you want a more rustic experience, there are many local farms that rent out rooms or cottages as an alternative to cheap hotels in York city itself, although if you do not have private transport, it would probably be best to look into cheap York car hire if you want to stay out of the centre.

When to visit York

Of course, the summer season is one of the pleasant time to visit the city. However, even on rainy wintery days, there are many indoor attractions such as the famed Minster, the largest Gothic Cathedral in the north of Europe, the Jorvik Viking Centre and the National Railway Museum. York also has a comprehensive Festival programme, so it's worth checking what's on when you want to visit, such as the York Races, Festival of Food and Drink, Beer and Cider Festival or Viking Festival.
