Novotel York Centre - York, United Kingdom 

Booked the hotel through Superbreak for 1 night on 25th April for myself, husband and 12 year old daughter. Got a good deal for room and breakfast. Room nice and clean but in need of refurbishment, unusual to find a separate toilet but rather inconvenient when the wash basin in main bathroom. Try and get a B & B deal as breakfast would have cost us ?12.50 each otherwise. Evening meals also very expensive, average a 1 course could set you back ?20, but the main shock was the bar prices ?10.70 for a bottle of Magners and a small glass of wine! Luckily Hotel situated close enough to some nice restaurants but if on a budget Wetherspoons three mins. down road.

Recently returned from a 2 night short break with the family at the Novotel. The location is excellent with plenty of parking, its just a 10 minute walk into York city centre along the river. The accomodation was very good and clean. We had a family room which consisted of a double plus sofa bed. The fittings are typical Novotel and functional but the room had everything we needed. Meals were good. The restaurant was pricey but there was a carvery (didn't look to appetising!) and a varied a la carte menu plus a kids only menu. Would recommend eating in York though for evening meal as we did on our second night. Breakfast was good, plenty of choice. Bar prices are expensive but the hotel was very family friendly and had no problem with children in any of the areas. The swimming pool was fine but as one reviewer has said already, go down ready as there is only one changing room! The pool is unsupervised. We would recommend the hotel and return, there were lots of families staying as it was half term and the hotel seemed very much geared up for them. All in all it was a good break in pleasant surroundings.
