If you want to be close to the centre of York but not amongst the busy, crowded streets, choosing a hotel in Bootham is a good option. As one of the smarter residential areas, and just outside the city walls, Bootham has plenty of advantages: it’s a quick easy walk to the centre; many of the best hotels in Bootham offer parking; there are local shops and restaurants, and the surrounding streets are pleasant and quiet. If you’re arriving in York by train, there’s also a lovely walk to Bootham from the station, across parkland and the river.
If you're planning to visit York with the whole family, we'd recommend No 1. As well as a good range of rooms your little ones can expect in-room tipis, bedtime books, pantry treats, and a kids' menu in the restaurant. Oh, and the dog can come too!
