Fantastic hotel. The staff were great. The room itself was amazing with the most comfy bed I've ever slept in. The hidden door to the cocktail bar is also a nice touch. Unfortunately we didn't try the restaurant, but I can only imagine it will be as nice as everything else. The only downside the walls are paper thin, so you can hear everything your neighbours are up to and vice versa. Other than that, a truly enjoyable stay. We certainly will be back in the future.

Amazing staff. We were able to drop of our bags on arrival and go explore the city. Our room was ready before check in so we were called to let us know. Love that you get to pick your own whipped soap for your room. Our room was spacious with a comfy bed. The complimentary pastries in the morning were a nice touch too

My self and my wife stayed in the red room at the impossible motel in York. Firstly the hotel is amazing such a unique place and the rooms are incredible. If you are looking for a memorable night away you can’t beat it. The hotel is right in the centre of York so everything is right on the doorstep. The staff were amazing so friendly and helpful. I can’t say enuf good things about it. I can’t wait for our next visit.

Easy check in and polite and friendly staff. The room was comfortable and everything we needed for a night away. Really cool atmosphere and peaceful. No noise and a real feeling of “getting away”. Shower was decent which is always a big plus. The bed was incredibly comfy. I’ll be visiting again

Hotel was great! Staff was great! The drunk people on the streets, screaming until 04:30 were not great. Hotel was very centrally located which we loved but it resulted in many sleepless nights because of the noise. Obviously not the hotels fault, just something to be mindful of.

Basement room very noisy and extremely small, we were even handed ear plugs on arrival! So a very unpleasant and noisy first night. Second night we moved to an upstairs room, which was nice until the electricity in the room failed at 10:30 pm. With no one available to check this out but the night porter we spent our second night cold and in the dark. In the morning we had to wash and dress by phone torch light. When we complained it was evident that the staff did not believe us even though the fault was witnessed by the porter. It took an age to get any type of compensation (half money back for the second night only) and this took complaints via Expedia and at least five calls to the hotel. Avoid... it is not nearly as good as it looks in the photographs.

First time staying here on a Christmas shopping trip with my sister. Absolutely perfect location. The hotel itself is stunning, the decor and room was beautiful. The staff are a credit as all so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Before checking out we've already decided we want to return next year.
