“The Lowther Hotel's riverside setting is undeniably its strongest asset, placing guests moments from boat cruises and a short walk into the heart of York, even positioning it conveniently near local attractions. While the lack of a lift means rooms are accessed via stairs, the consistently praised friendly staff and the perk of a discount at neighbouring bars for food and drink do much to smooth the stay. Cleanliness and comfortable beds are noted, alongside some genuinely excellent showers, making it a practical base for exploring the city.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Ukyorkshire
