Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Galtres Lodge Hotel enjoys a superb location right in the heart of York, steps from the iconic Minster and a short walk to the Shambles. Many guests find the rooms spacious, and the inclusion of Yorkshire tea bags is a welcome touch. Breakfast stands out, offering lots of choices, and the restaurant food is generally prepared and cooked to a high standard, though some guests in front-facing rooms have noted street noise. Some of the rooms feature unique quirks such as a roll top bath.

the hotel is in a perfect location, close to many attractions. i particularly enjoyed the breakfast (especially the gluten-free options!). the staff was friendly and helpful, ensuring a smooth check-in and check-out process.
the shower in the small double room was quite small, made showering a bit less enjoyable.
