What people say

Pleasant, helpful, professional staff with an effortless no fuss approach, relaxing spa afternoon, evening meal cooked to perfection with superb quality service. we have stayed in executive accomodation elsewhere that wasn't as luxurious as the standard room (with king size bed) we booked here, overall wonderfull experience. we stayed at the Royal York hotel for 2 nights to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary, the staff were most helpful and friendly, the complimentary bottle of Champagne in our room on arrival was a lovely surprise and most enjoyable. Thank you and look forward to seeing you again.
