Jorvik House is an elegant building which has occupied Marygate in York for years now. Interesting and fashionable, this hotel sports sloped ceiling rooms, wide spaces, and a clean, elegant finish. The style is classical but modern, the lines are simple and effective, and the blend of familiar warm tones with patterns and soft furnishings makes for an inviting trip.

A key feature of Jorvik House is that many rooms come with a bath installed. Another key feature is the building itself, which is part of the old town of York. Dating to the 1750’s, visitors will be staying in a true part of the town’s history.

All rooms are en-suite and either have a bath or walk in shower. You receive complimentary toiletries and linens, and there is freeview on the flat screen. The hotel use Egyptian cotton sheets, to give you an idea of the sumptuousness of this stay. The hotel is also only 10 minutes’ walk from the main York Train Station, so you get more perks than just what you find inside.

Rated at 9.6 for location, the Jorvik House has excellent staff who can provide you with champagne on arrival if you let them know. You can use both the concierge service and the streaming services to make your stay more pleasant. We particularly like that this hotel is only 150 yards from York’s famous Edible Garden.
