Advantages: Close to centre, cheap, breakfast included, carpark

Disadvantages: Room slightly small

One of my friends is getting married soon so for her Hen Do she opted to go to York. She knew which weekend she wanted to go but booking the accomodation proved to be a little difficult. Due to York being such a tourist trap it was either very expensive, or they wouldn't take a large party, we were 16 people.

We managed to secure a booking at the Ibis York and it turned out to be very good value. It was £75 for one night for 2 people sharing a double room (would have prefered a twin but was ok). We also managed to get breakfast and their internet package included so was a good offer.

The hotel is situated in a good location, it is a short walk (1/2 mile) from the town centre and about 10 minutes walk to the river. It also has its own carpark, which is invaluable in York as the parking is so expensive. The carpark isn't large but it is free and all of us who wanted to managed to get a space.

The hotel seems to have been recently decorated and had a nice contemporary bar. The rooms were clean, if a little small as was the bathroom, the only quirk being that the hot water in the shower was the opposite way to what it was labelled.

The staff were quite friendly, they didn't go out of their way but there were certainly no problems.

The breakfast was accetable, I wouldn't suggest it was the best I have had, although it is served for a long time, from 9.00 - 12.00 and we rocked up about 11.00 so the best was probably gone!

Overall, it was clean, comfortable option near to the centre, I would recommend it.

Summary: Good cheap accomodation
