Hotel was well located for the city although not the best area Staff extremely friendly and helpful
Decor could do with an uplift although the hotel was clean Shower was not working on the first day and had to be repaired. No heating in dining room. Lucky it wasn't too cold

Dalescroft, York - Reviews & Ratings"My partner and I stayed at the Dalescroft Guest House in February 2007. When we arrived at the Guest House we were greeted by the load bark of the family dog and a very strong smell of disinfectant. The owner was very friendly and chatty and made us very welcome. The ensuite double bedroom was very small and the decoration was definitely from the 1970" (99563441)
Very close to York city centre, all the main attractions were within walking distance. Free on street parking.
Bedroom very small with dated decoration. Bathroom small, with wash basin in bedroom.
