    I can recommend it. I had a freshly decorated and lovely sized room. The room came with coffee/tea making machines, a lounge area, and a safe box. Got a good hot breakfast included. Rewritten: I can definitely recommend staying at Principal York. the room I had was freshly decorated and a great size. I loved having coffee/tea making machines, a lounge area, and a safe box available.

    The breakfast was delicious, the size of the room and bathroom was great. The staff were extremely helpful.

    There is no air con in the room which makes it uncomfortably hot but the hotel did put a large fan to help with this issue

    The breakfast is nice with hot cakes, scones, eggs, and milk. The location of the hotel is stunning, just a short walk to rail tracks and railways.- The proximity to The Full Moo, which serves quick meals, is convenient.- If we visit York to celebrate our anniversary, we will definitely choose this hotel.

    Unique base for 1 night with active and best staff apart from the member of the Concierge team. The a double room we stayed in was high standard with view to Yorkminster and the bathroom, as example. Incredible location, generous breakfast at £14. Near a railroad station, easy to get around.

    The breakfast had a good selection of dishes, everything you would expect from a good hotel. The service at breakfast was good and frienflyII

    It was a pity that there was no dinner service available during our stay. Photographs of the dining room look lovely. I expect it was due to staff shortages as nearly every restaurant and bar in York was advertising for staff.
