Superb location, as grand as its been named. Parking fee is higher than other places, higher from London rates 🤭 Walking distance to all areas
Response from Property: 親愛的 Norfazilah Mohamad Hashim,感謝您的讚美之詞,併為此次入住給予滿分評價。我很高興得知您喜歡酒店的中心位置,並認為 The Grand 名副其實!酒店確實距離約克的主要景點都在步行範圍之內。我也注意到了您關於停車的意見。我們盡力為賓客提供便利的代客泊車服務,此外賓客也可選擇使用附近 NCP 停車場的優惠價格。在您下次到訪時,不妨體驗一下 Legacy 餐廳。這是 The Grand 榮獲三顆 AA Rosette 星級的餐廳,以約克郡食材為靈感精心打造品鑒菜單——非常適合慶祝特別時刻,或在城市中心度過一個難忘的夜晚。如果您計劃重返約克,請隨時告知我,以便協助您做好相關安排。致以誠摯問候,Elizabeth賓客關係主管

First, but certainly not our last stay at this excellent hotel. Staying as a treat before a hospital stay, the hotel made us particularly welcome and we also enjoyed the afternoon tea which was as generous as it was tasty. We will return as soon as we are able, the Grand will be our hotel of choice for future York stays and family events We just wish we’d ‘found’ it earlier…
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you very much for your kind words. I am truly pleased to know that your visit to The Grand was such a welcome experience, particularly at a personally significant time for you. It is wonderful to hear that Afternoon Tea left such a positive impression — the generous selection of sweet and savoury treats is designed to be both comforting and memorable.It is also wonderful to hear that The Grand is your hotel of choice and you plan on returning - it would be our pleasure to welcome you again for an equally or even more enjoyable stay!Kindest regards,Elizabeth Guest Relations Executive

Great room and great location , convenient to both York town and railway station within waking distance. Like the room design very much , the first Uk hotel that I have stayed was not fully covered my carpet which I like the design a lot .

Very lovely hotel. We love the building and the room and the outside view from our room. Love the coffee machine in our room. Everything feels luxurious. This is the only hotel that provides bedroom slippers throughout our UK trip. Room with big bathroom is nice. There is a famous restaurant inside the hotel. Lucky to get a table without reservations. Paid parking at the hotel is a bit steep. Other than that, all good.
Response from Property: Dear Guest,Thank you for your lovely comments. I am delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the building, the views from your room, big bathroom and the thoughtful touches such as the coffee machine and bedroom slippers. It is wonderful to know that these details contributed to a sense of comfort and refinement during your stay.I am also pleased you had the chance to dine at Legacy—The Grand’s renowned three AA Rosette-awarded restaurant. Securing a table without a reservation is indeed fortunate, and I hope the experience left a lasting impression.Should you plan a return to York, I would be very happy to assist with any arrangements to help make your next visit just as memorable.Kindest regards,Elizabeth Guest Relations Executive

The Grand Hotel boasts an excellent location, making it a convenient choice for exploring the city. The facilities are top-notch, offering a blend of luxury and comfort that one would expect from a prestigious establishment. However, the service fell short of expectations, especially considering its five-star rating. While it may be due to the busy tourist season, the level of service provided was inconsistent. In particular, the doormen and porters left a lot to be desired, with some interactions being notably poor. This detracted significantly from the overall experience, as such issues are not expected at a hotel of this caliber. Overall, while the hotel's amenities and location are commendable, the service quality needs improvement to truly match the standards of a five-star hotel.
Response from Property: Dear ZZ9900,Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay at The Grand. I’m pleased to hear that you appreciated our excellent location and top-notch facilities, and I’m glad that these aspects of your stay met your expectations.However, I am truly sorry that the service you received did not reflect the high standards we strive to uphold, particularly regarding the interactions with our doormen and porters. Your experience is not indicative of the level of service we aim to provide, and your comments have been noted for further attention.Should you decide to return to York, I would love the opportunity to assist in ensuring your stay is seamless and enjoyable. Please do feel free to contact me directly so that I can make the necessary arrangements to enhance your experience.With my kindest regards,NooraGuest Relations
