Kennedy's Bar and Restaurant offers an extensive food and drink menu with locally sourced dishes.

Themed rooms and apartments include luxury bedding, original artworks, and free superfast WiFi.

Sotano provides a unique underground tapas and wine experience.

“For a straightforward stay in York's heart, this spot delivers tidy, modern rooms. I found the location ideal, steps from the city's attractions, and a great base for exploring. It's more of a self-service setup, yet the central position and thoughtful extras-like in-room treats and coffee-make it a smart choice.”
