Staff warm, friendly and helpful
Recognise newness of ownership (4 weeks). Premises very tired and needing a revamp. Shower facility basic and probably unsafe (mixing temperature from taps) - no indication of safety feature. Stayed on 2nd floor - poorly ventilated although fan provided

The Groves, York - Reviews & Ratings"Pleasant, with friendly staff." (107603311)
The hotel is in a quiet location in a cul-de-sac, has some character, and is in easy walking distance of the city centre (Petergate). My twin room was cheerful, with well-maintained facilities and a comfortable (firm) bed. The breakfast provides a hearty start.
Coffee was on offer at breakfast but didn't find a teapot! Pillows were a bit on the thin side.

The Groves, York - Reviews & Ratings"We had been extremely happy with our visit and had been planning to return when next we are in York. However, at £70 a night we expect a very much higher quality breakfast than the one we got. We will not now be returning. A good breakfast is an important start to a day exploring!" (107643757)
The room was beautiful and the facilities were excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful. I could use the hotel's wifi at full strength even right up in our attic bedroom.
The breakfast was extremely disappointing. It seemed to be made up of supermarket value ingredients and most of it was entirely tasteless or even inedible. I suspect it had been pre-prepared and kept warm. It appeared much too quickly after we ordered it to have been cooked to order

The Groves, York - Reviews & Ratings"a pleasant stay despite these things" (107846609)
location very good. staff pleasant and helpful. breakfast good.
Bedroom was tired and in need of total refurbishment. The lighting was dim and dismal. The fact that the bathroom was very small was exacerbated by the lack of towel rails and shelves to hold our toiletries etc.

The Groves, York - Reviews & Ratings"Not sure how this hotel warrented a 3 star rating. I would have awarded 2 stars at best." (107939651)
Location, only a short walk to the city centre, available car parking.
Hotel needs a thorough makeover. Furniture is cheap. Room was extremely cold on arrival and took a long time to warm up. There was NO hot water for washing in the morning.

The Groves, York - Reviews & Ratings"Distinctly average. Why do hotels always allocate the smallest room when they are empty and obviously have better rooms available? Hardly creates the right impression. thats why frequent travellers use Travel lodges consistant room size, facilities etc." (107101623)
Room was very small and location not indicated. Bathroom was minute and smelt damp and musty. Socket for kettle was broken.

Booking and check-in was quick and easy. Breakfast was very nice.
The room was cramped and tired, nothing like the pictures on the website. The price was too high for this standard of room.

The Groves, York - Reviews & Ratings"Satisfechos" (107692904)
Situación excelente. Buena accesibilidad. El estado de la casa y la habitación también muy correctos.
El desayuno inglés está muy bien, pero para estancias de más días podría resulta muy pesado y repetitivo.
