The Limes

It felt more like a hostel and certainly not like a 4* B&B. Overpriced for the offer. No real hosting and couldn’t get the WiFi to work. No chef so no breakfast even though we were told breakfast was possible. Room was very shabby, dirty and cold. Whole place felt unloved. Not a great location. Would not recommend.

Stayed at the Limes due to working in the area for a few days; great location for getting to the racecourse, parking was ample and the host was fantastic. Very welcoming and friendly, truly made you feel at home and recommended some local eateries for us to try. Would definitely recommend and would 100% stay again.

I was very disappointed with the limes. When we arrived we paid the man and he showed us to a room but never saw him again after that. The pictures on the website show a much nicer picture. My room was very dusty and mouldy in window. The plug in sink was filthy and the fan didn't work in shower so condensation dripping from windows. I felt like the owner had lost interest and let the place go. It definitely wasn't a 9.2 like it shows

Great York Race meet stopover. Friendly hosts and good location. Comfortable rooms and good local bars with good meals if there for an extended stay beyond a race meeting. Recommend getting a taxi to the race course.

Had a superb 4 day break here lovely rooms and the hosts are very helpful would definitely recommend to anyone considering it

Satisfactory stay. Good location for us, nice walk into the city by the river. A bit old fashioned. WiFi worked but weak. Bed very soft.

Very good clean room. Hotel.com website states room only but breakfast could be paid at hotel. Hotel's own website mentions breakfast. No breakfast was available.... We were referred to local cafe a good 10 min walk which wasn't open on Sunday. Hotel had no bar No staff and No lift. How does this justify a 4 star rating

I was hesitant to add but others have encouraged me. Stayed NYE 2022 arrived 5pm no outside lights. A man answered… No pleasantries… just card machine wasn’t working we had paid through paypal so that was obviously fine.. Showed to room which did not close unless locked… I asked about breakfast … there was no breakfast room only … I did check my booking after and it did say room only but when I was checking their website it did say breakfast was included I mean it’s bed and breakfast (clues in the title) the tray that is mentioned in their website I quote “ tea, coffee, hot chocolate, biscuits, sweets raisins and a KitKat which has been made in York for years“ was very under whelming please see attached photo.. The flatscreen tv was 19” at a guess … I quote “ Each room at The Limes has an en suite shower room with heated towel rail, fluffy towels” was indeed a mouldy shower ( see photos) and the mouldy sink was actually in our bedroom ( see photos) The kids bunk beds were wobbly as …. My son even said “mam I dare not move” to which I said “son there’s a wardrobe next to you (that had 5 hangers, 4 were taken with just our coats) and that will prop you and save you…. Don’t know where the licensed bar is… I did ask for ice which I received but when I needed more there was no one around ( not for lack of trying) there was no reception per say apart from check in no one could be contacted. I’ve stayed in places similar where they’ve left mobile numbers in case but nothing… Please don’t get me started on the floor above … oh my goodness… could hear everything… not voices (apart from tele) just movement like every step… I should have known really when I seen the ear plugs on the side tables … they’re never provided on the off chance … So after all of us been awaken from the stampede above we got sorted to depart … And personally thought it was insult to injury as the man did offer to sort toast and cereal out for us the night before but considering I didn’t see anyone to arrange anything I went to hand the key in to a lovely smell of bacon that was coming from the kitchen … which obviously was their own kitchen and making sandwiches for themselves but personally I thought it was a sly move considering they pride themselves on this wonderful breakfast that we were expecting to be told they lee not doing to smell nothing but deliciousness that we could’ve have… low blow to me… all in all I wouldn’t stay again and I was very disappointed from what I read that made me book. We could have stayed at the holiday inn for the same money including breakfast so it wasn’t a case of that was the only option…..
