Reviews
The Principal is a very grand period hotel, I was booked in quickly and my room looked great. It has some nice touches like a vanity mirror hidden within a large table and large bathroom. Sadly the bathroom window needs repairing/repainting and the shower doors need descaling but they’re just cosmetic issues.nThe view from my SSW facing room looks out over York station to trees, it’s lovely.nI left the windows open while I was out because the room was extremely warm with the evening sun but I eventually had to close the windows because of the train announcements and train noise.nThe mattress in room 331 desperately needs flipping, it slops towards the window. I also had to take the duvet out of the cover because the room was so warm, which is a shame because the bed linen is a nice quality. I didn’t sleep well but a yoga session and a the shower made up for it this morning.nMy breakfast was very good; the fruit salad was lovely, I could’ve eaten it twice. I also enjoyed the toast, tomatoes, mushrooms and hash-browns. Th team in the breakfast room were all really friendly.nIt’s a shame I had to go to work, I needed a nap after such a big breakfast!nCheckout was quick and efficient too, although I’m still waiting for the receipt to be emailed to me, I have called twice.nI’d happily stay again at the Principal, the location is excellent and the corporate rate I got was very good.
Excellent room, staff and breakfast. Lovely vibe in the bar late at night. Gardens Lovely too and fantastic location. The main public areas on the ground floor are very grand. Some of the out of way areas and stairs etc do need a makeover. But it didn't detract from my 1 night stay.
Great hotel, the building it self has a lot of history. Its right next to the station and a 10min walk from the railway museum and york minster, shambles market and the river walknnI was told by staff they are renovating rooms to include air-conditioning in all rooms. the previous occupants of the room appeared to have left the windows open so there were a few houseflies in the room but housekeeping was very attentive and took care of it promptly, otherwise remainder of the stay was pretty good.nnRoom/furniture, space, bathroom were all pretty fancy and comfortable.nnOur price included breakfast which was pretty good as well.
The hotel is right beside the train station. It is also within walking distance to York's popular attractions like York Minster and Shambles Market. The staffs at the reception are very friendly and helpful! I feel that the food provided at breakfast does not look fresh. However that's just a small complaint, overall it's a very comfortable stay.
This is such a beautiful hotel! We spoke to Laura at the front desk who was incredible. She was very kind and funny and helped us with our query about changing rooms. The hotel is in the perfect location to access the station and York city centre, and it feels like a very special luxurious place to be. Very happy we chose to stay here!
