Location good as plenty of parking and easy to find as set back from a main through road to York centre. 10min walk from the cathedral to the door of the hotel, lovely outdoors space, B beautiful decor inside the actual hotel Staff kind and accommodating Wood fire pizza deals are lovely and great value Not the cheapest place to be in your York but one of the classiest places to be or visit and has a good atmosphere as well.

Llamé para un puesto de copas estando en la ciudad por la noche y se sentó afuera. Es como volver a los días de confinamiento. Estás apuntando hacia un código de barras para obtener un menú y si señalas esto obtienes un tipo muy stroppy afuera que lo dijo de esa manera o ve alrededor del lado al bar del hotel. ¿Qué hace exactamente este tipo. Mala atención al cliente en el mejor de los casos. Terminó un buen día con mal rollo, muchas gracias por eso.

The hotel is perfectly located being a short walk into the center of York. The hotel and the rooms are nice, but maybe a little small. Overall I would stay again.

We have eaten here on several occasions and really enjoy the food in the Beer Garden, however having said that we always find our greeting from the meet/greet person Wayne a little rude and as if we are in someway inconveniencing him. He was stood on his phone for the duration of our visit and he only put it away when new diners arrived. How rude of them to interrupt his scrolling! He also points out on arrival that we had to order through an app and when my friend tried but failed to order drinks through the app she asked him about ordering some. He then directed her to the bar and said she could go and get them herself. He barely looked up at her and was clearly otherwise occupied with far more important things than customer service! This isn’t the cheapest place to drink in York and I think at the very least table service could be offered to take orders if you do not wish to use the app! It’s such a shame because the Pizzas are lovely but the rudeness of Wayne always irks us.

Posto incantevole, personale gentile e sorridente, pizza molto buona (buonissima offerta pizza e birra a 12,95) cucinata da pizzaiolo italiano nel forno a legna. Unico neo se non prenoti devi ordinare tramite Qcode sul tavolo e non è facilissimo da utilizzare. Comunque ci tornerei!!!

Great location and service, lovely food with gluten free options. Gluten free and regular pizza excellent. Platers were delicious, gluten free bread was a little disappointing as it was a sliced loaf not the lovely sourdough like the regular bread. Enjoyable evening

We have stayed in the Churchill four times and have loved it every time. The staff are friendly and the bunker room in particular is absolutely fantastic. The food whether you order from the pizza oven or the restaurant is incredible and the bar serves some lovely cocktails. The hotel is a few minute walk from the town center with its own private parking which is fantastic.

Awful experience. I have stayed in 100s of hotels in over 60 countries and this must be the worst sleep I have had. The rooms are extremely hot and stuffy. There is no ventilation. I stayed with my wife in early May, which is not a hot time of year, and the room was over 30oC (measured on smart watch). We had to use 2 fans on us all night to try to sleep and still barely slept. Just an absolutely horrible experience. I spoke to the reception team and their reply was 'well we are fully booked every night so other people clearly don't mind it'. This is unprofessional and condescending. He then said it's an old building and there's nothing they can do the temperature. How about ventilation? Air conditioning? I very very rarely leave bad reviews but this hotel is the most deserving of one I can think of. Oh and we had this pleasure for over £100 per night. What a joke. Would rather have slept in my car.

Very impressed with this hotel and one to return too again in the future. The room was spotless and very comfortable, front of house staff were incredibly welcoming and more than happy to advise on things to do whilst in York. We only had breakfast on our last day but it was great! A good range of dishes for a good price. The only downside would be the parking fee of £15 per night. This is something that I would've preferred to know when booking the room as it was mentioned during check-in, and it seemed like a known fact in the way it was relayed. I booked through Expedia and nothing stated a parking fee on the website. Other than that, we had a great stay and would recommend to anyone, especially for the location being a quick 10 minute walk from the centre.

Great little hotel,not in big chain but location is ideal for York attractions and parks and gardens, some beautiful quirky rooms and staff were really friendly and helpful without any fuss.Pay parking but still more convenient and less than any of overnight or weekend charges. Lovely food and garden beautiful and relaxing for drinks. Pizza was a treat. Definitely be going back soon.

The Churchill Hotel is located a 5 minute walk from York Minster & is perfectly situated for most of Yorks sights. The staff are fantastic, very friendly & most helpful. Reception is very knowledgable. The rooms are very clean & the bathrooms are spotless. Food was made to order by their chefs & we couldn't fault it & trust me we are very picky bunch! Excellent. Certainly not the cheapest choice but I can't pick on a single thing that was a negative.

We spent a wonderful weekend at the Churchill Hotel is which is a simple 12 mins walk from York Rail station across the river Ouse. All the team were incredibly authentic, friendly and professional throughout our stay whether on reception, breakfast or bar. Our double room was ‘toasty’ warm. Equipped with a rainfall shower, the most comfortable bed we have slept in! Plenty of storage room for our clothes. We enjoyed some lovely well cooked & prepared bar food on Saturday along with a delicious breakfast Sunday morning with plenty of Yorkshire tea with our English breakfast. Sumptuous. The hotel is a simple, straightforward walk to the Christmas market on Parliament Street and Shambles Square which are very busy but include some wonderful craft stalls locally made.

The pizza my husband and I had in the beer garden at Churchill's Hotel in York was the best pizza we've had in years. It's no wonder since they are prepared and cooked by Enrico, who hails from the pizza capital of the world, Naples. So, if you're craving a pizza in York, go to the beer garden at Churchill's Hotel. You won't be disappointed.

The four poster bed we want to take home with us because it’s wow and very comfortable, the room is very clean, comfortable and very spacious even has a luxurious bath in the room. As for the food it’s delicious with no complaints and what drinks we have had (soft drinks because teetotals) have been nice and refreshing. This is a first, can we have a shout out for Ian and the girls on the front desk and Helen the waitress in the kitchen who made us feel very welcome and part of the family and bent over backwards to make our stay enjoyable.enough said.

Had been staying in clementines hotel down the road. (Great place by the way!) and after a meal at the Ivy around 22.30pm we decided to head here for a drink - nothing special, nothing fancy. Just x2 G&Ts please barman!!! It was a last minute decision to head in, and we saw the lovely pods out front, and the nice seating area under some heaters and thought... why not!? I'll tell you why not... the service is non existent! We walked in, and three women all stood around a desk asked if they could help, so we said we just wanted a drink, we were asked if we were staying in the hotel, which we replied no... we aren't. After some incredibly obnoxious eye-rolling and huffing and puffing about this, one said sorry the bar is closed, then another said well, if you're just having one you can... at the bar, we received the staple Churchill hotel welcome.. 'bars shut'. Ok, that's fine, but the lady out front said it was open if we are just having one...? again, another sigh! i know how you feel mate, how terrible someone wants a drink in a bar! we stupidly got a drink, sat outside, decided the G&T wasn't even that nice, and carried on. Got back to our hotel bar, welcomed like we were humans and spent a few pennies! I can wholeheartedly say, I wouldn't go back. would recommend avoiding this place for a last minute drink, at all costs.

We stayed at The Churchill for 2 nights in a family room. The room was clean and tidy, but definitely tight for 3 adults (son is 18). That said, it was an excellent bargain for York - <10 mins walk from cathedral and other York attractions (E.g., York Chocolate Story and Jovik Viking experience). Breakfasts were hearty and delicious. Dinner was ok, but we found another place within walking distance that was amazing (TAAS - definitely order the Nepalese options!).

The Exhibition is a grand old pub dating from 1702 that is situated on a very busy junction opposite Bootham Bar in York. As you enter up the steep couple of steps you are greeted by dark and atmospheric front room which is split by the central bar, it's a mish mash of Victorian and Art Deco with every single bit of wall space occupied with old photos, paintings, brasses and other Breweriana. There are wood panels, glowing yellow lighting and rich dark red ceiling which envelops you into the cosy space. There's so much to take in, especially the Art Deco stained glass panels and large fireplace, you'd almost be distracted from the offerings behind the bar. Which are not the most exciting but there's at least usually a couple of beers from Brew York, Black Sheep and Timothy Taylors, all priced at the usual City centre prices. Where The Exhibition really excels is it's outside space, if you follow your way around to the back of the bar and down a fairy light lit corridor it opens out first into a large conservator which is used for group bookings and then out into what is clearly the biggest and best Beer Garden in York! A beautifully secluded long yard with mature plants and great vintage wall art throughout. The only slight let down is the rather Victorian toilets which could probably do with a bit of an update but otherwise this is a very much overlooked pub that is superb in Summer and would be nice and welcoming inside any time of the year.

It’s a campus canteen so don’t come with expectations that don’t remember that point. That said, food is cooked and presented well beyond any canteen food I’ve ever experienced and the salad bar is by far the freshest, tastiest array of salad you’ll ever be served. Friendly staff too. Enjoy!
