Great location & free parking a stones-throw from the city walls. We had the room shown in the pictures Number 4, which was spacious and very quiet. So great to have decent toiletries in the en-suite and plenty of them. The staff and service was very good; much better than some posh hotels that I have stayed in before in... More

I booked into this hotel with my husband as we wanted a hotel close to the city centre, it is hard to gauge how close it is from the website, but it is literally a 3 minute walk through the city doors, and if you want (and we definitely recommend it) around the city walls. The price includes free parking,... More

I've stayed at The Cavalier several times over the years. The owner, Julia, is always jolly and helpful. Cooks a good breakfast, too! Rooms are charming, clean and always comfortable. Location is great; easy walk to York Minster day or night. A tad expensive in terms of what my group usually prefers but worth it with en-suite baths and glorious... More

This is a great location to stay just outside the walls, very handy for the sites and shops. Rooms are clean and tidy and a great breakfast in the morning. Staff are always friendly. Lockable garages are available but the lane to reach them is very narrow but this has never been a problem for our car. If you drive... More

I stopped here for a single night while in York on business. It ticked all the boxes. I arranged to arrive early before the start of the working day and they allowed me to park there - which was a real bonus and saved hassle of using public car parking. Some Tripadvisor reviewer made negative comments about the parking -... More

Stayed here for two nights on way back from Cornwall to Edinburgh. Made very welcome on arrival. We were given a key for a garage to park our car in which was really handy. Its a lovely wee hotel. We had a double bed and a single bed in the room allocated to us, which made the room a wee... More

I have taken tour groups to The Cavalier on several occasions, usually for 2-3 day stays. The location is perfect for York Minster and nearby attractions; only a short and quite comfortable walk. Not too far for walking to The National Railway Museum or any river-bank walk. The rooms are clean, comfortable and relatively spacious. All of the premises are... More
