With an imposing façade, soaring staircases and Chesterfield armchairs, York's Grange Hotel is full of character and flourishes reminiscent of a bygone era. The Grade II-listed property dates back to 1829 and is only a 5-minute walk from the city walls, in a location that The Daily Telegraph says is "pretty unbeatable".
York Minster, the largest medieval cathedral in northern Europe, is 10 minutes' walk from the hotel. York's Chocolate Story is also around 10 minutes' walk away. Visitors can take a guided tour to discover the part chocolate has played in York's history. Other attractions such as the National Railway Museum, Clifford's Tower and the Jorvik Viking Centre are all within a 20-minute walk.
Further afield, the impressive Castle Howard house and estate is a 35-minute drive, while the North York Moors National Park and the seaside town of Scarborough are just over an hour away.
The hotel's Ivy Brasserie has two AA Rosettes and offers "fine dining in a lavishly decorated environment" (The AA Hotel Guide 2019). The restaurant, which serves classic dishes with a French influence, is in the cellars of the hotel. The restaurant will be closed for refurbishment on Mondays in February. This does not affect breakfast service, only lunch and dinner.
Pets are allowed on request and are charged at £20 per night.

The majority of the staff were very pleasant except for one very miserable looking female member on the front desk when we returned late afternoon (our room wasn't ready when we checked in ) She didn't look up from the desk whist I was speaking to her just handed over the key and with no explanation of where our room was on the second floor .This person needs to go on a customer service course !!!

Our special requests on the Travelzoo booking form didn’t seem to make it to the hotel, so make sure you ring soon after booking to confirm things like a reserved parking space and bed type. Also, when we got to the hotel the only times left available for eating in the restaurant were 6:30 or 8:30, so book your preferred time for eating well in advance too.

Everything was great. BUT Think the DINNER menu could have been explained more with supplements if choosing from the main menu and not the “deal” menu. Made to feel slightly inferior for being on a special offer. Also never start cleaning the breakfast room when last customers still there if breakfast is until 10 then a 9.30 arrival should be acceptable.

Our room was on the front and was very hot, despite the heating not being on.
Impossible to sleep with the window open, due to traffic noise. A fan was provided, but this was just as noisy! Hence we slept badly both nights.
Would request a room at the back if returning.

Room 38 top floor furthest from reception. Hotel had a real fire alarm in the afternoon whilst we were napping. My wife luckily thought she could hear distant alarm and investigated to find the hotel evacuated Not good as Reception did not answer the phone or send anyone to our room. Turned out to be false alarm - this needs urgent attention.

Discretionary service charge in restaurant, this can bump your bill up quite considerably, However it is discretionary so you don't have to pay it.
Just makes you feel a bit awkward and I don't think they need to add this to the bill, when most people would probably pay a tip anyway?
