Public areas excellent style and space. Staff all excellent except reception clerk who totally unhelpful when our room unacceptable. Bedroom appalling : cell-like grey 12 sqft including tiny 'washroom' with malfunctioning shower and slight sewage smell from washbowl. Only furniture/fittings = bed and 3ft wide plywood cupboard filled with large fridge on large safe and ironing board, no hanging clothes space. Empty space with plumbing pipes where possible missing worktop. No chair, and when I asked for one a metal office chair arrived. Request for other room rejected (unavailable?).

Stayed for 2 nights from 31st July - 2nd Aug, with my Niece. Grand exterior. Disappointed on first night. Loose bath tap. Crack on the bathroom wall, trim loose on shower. Stains over the carpet, which had been covered over with dustbin! Reported tap on first day. Lady said she'd log it. Woken up at 7am. After a gap of roughly 1cm of the window open, that wouldn't close. So we could hear workmen. Reported to hotel reception & asked to change rooms. Lovely lady apologised & said we could change rooms at 3pm. Much better. Nice, clean, quiet room. I thanked her for her help & again she apologised. 99 percent of staff were very friendly & helpful & very curteous. Before our journey home today, we decided to pop into the Garden Lounge. Very nicely set out. I went to the counter to order myself a beverage. The young man in question said a waiter/waitress would come to me. As it was table service. He said there's several people before you, is that ok? I said this was fine! After going back & forth around the lounge. Then starting to clear tables & ignoring me. After 45 mins, I asked politely if i could now order my coffee. He didnt apologise for keeping me waiting. When i went to the counter. The young lady was very polite & apologised for my delay. At the end of the day. It's only a cup of coffee. However I was a guest at the hotel. Very unprofessional young man! The hotel itself is nicely set out with lounges & function rooms.

Paid for a room with garden view and upgraded just before our stay but appear to have lost the garden view in the process, instead having a view of the train station roof. We won’t be back to hotel when we stay in York later this year.

We booked this hotel to be close to the Railway Station. The room allocated couldn't have been further away. On check out the receptionist tried to blame us , telling us that we Should have been aware that the room was in an Annex. At the price charged this was very poor value for money. Not impressed

OK but with issues

We got the last available parking space arriving late afternoon....obviously an issue here. Staff were great and the room was fine but the restaurant is poor. Only two not very exciting veggie main choices on a menu that was the same every night.

The property had an elegance about it that made it very charming. Everything has been kept up really well. The facilities in the room were excellent. The hotel is literally steps away from both the train and bus stations that made it ideal for our travel. The most outstanding thing about the Milner was its staff. They were extremely kind and helpful. They went out of their way to help us.

Our room at the Milner was tired with stained carpets and dated furniture. I wouldn’t recommend staying at the Milner. The pictures on their website look bright and inviting but unfortunately this is not the case. The rooms are badly in need of a make over!
