Hotel in York 05-DEC-2009

SemperFi

Hi folks

Looking at going to York for the night on 5th December. Really struggling to find a reasonable hotel.

I prefer the anonymity of a Travelodge/Premier thingy...but any suggestions?

Many thanks

Cheers Scammo. Sadly, none of those have availability on the 5th of December

Looks like we'll be going elsewhere!

There is a travelodge very very close to the town centre.

edit. sorry, i put in travelodge, york in but it came up Ramada
Are they one and the same now.

Anyway, there are literally thousands of little B&Bs and pubs in york.

Travelodge and Ramada are opposite each other I think. Travelodge is full though.

Fulford Road is full of little B&Bs and is about a 20 minute walk from town.

York is awfull, expensive, and a lot of places require a minimum of 2 night stay.

york isn't awful, thanks very much for your insight though.

have you looked at trip advisor for ratings? lots of b and bs especially on scarcroft road, bootham etc are nice and reasonable

York - Awful, Dont be silly, its one of the best most beautiful places to be and no, i dont live there but visit often.

Loads to do, loads to see, I think youve been somewhere else and thought you were in York.

Expensive - dont know whre you got that idea from either.
Its no different to any other city

York is lovely - loads of nice quirky shops and cafes, nice pubs, lots of history, plenty of stuff to do (museums etc). In fact the only sort of bad thing I can think of about it is that it can be fairly quiet of a night and doesn't have many big shops, but I rather like that.

I am originally from Yorkshire though and went to uni in York...

Having a nightmare trying to find somewhere with availability! Booo.

Thinking of Edinburgh or...any suggestions? Need somewhere relatively close to home (Newcastle upon Geordieland). Wanting somewhere quirky with decent shopping and decent ish nightlife.

Thanks all for your help though!
