Fantastic stay
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.

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.

Limes Hotel, York
We booked on the spur of the moment on Easter Saturday and arrived that afternoon. Wasn't expecting the best B&B due to late booking but was very pleased with what we got. The hotel was about 25 minutes walk into York along the River Ouse. Buses were roughly every 10 minutes if needed.
The owners of the hotel were very welcoming. Our room was nice but best of all was one of the best full english breakfasts I have ever had. Full marks to the Limes. Next time we fancy a break to York we will be staying at the Limes.

Disappointing
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

Breakfasdt not included.
Conveniently positioned for access to town with small car park, room 1 was comfortable. Shower didn't seem to get very hot. Wasn't clear on arrival but became evident the next morning that our booking didn't include breakfast (nor did anyone's it seems!). This is more the fault of Hotels.com, as I always filter with 'breakfast include' - evidfently the small print must say you have to specifically ask for it (and pay extra?). However, several nearby cafes so all in all not a bad stay.
