Great value and location
Everywhere was clean and tidy. The improvements made by the new owners work much better like the new reception area they have created with a lovely mural of York. The rooms are all being renovated to a good standard with coffee pod machines as well as the usual kettle.We will definitely be back.

A great find.
A nice little hotel, close to the centre and restaurants. We only booked one night so we could meet with friends in the city, but will definitely stay here again when visiting York in the future.

I stayed at the Crescent for several weeks and enjoyed exceptional hospitality. The rooms were quiet, clean, spacious and full of light. The hosts were warm, friendly and helpful. The location also made this hotel a rare find for the affordable cost of the rooms as it is so close to the city center. Each morning I had coffee and pastries at a wonderful bakery next door...
