For this post, I used TravelAdvisor.com. It rates hotels, B&B’s/Inn’s, special lodgings and holiday rentals according to the reviews written by people who’ve stayed at that particular hotel. I’d like to think that by taking the time to write a review that that hotel left a definite impression on that person. There are customer reviews for 45 of the 120 hotels in York.
What I was looking for was a nice place, one that’s fairly inexpensive, and one that I would stay in myself. I searched for the dates we need (arriving on Friday, the 27th and leaving on morning of Sunday, the 29th) for 2 people. Also be aware that prices I have listed are from the dates I looked the hotels up and may change as we get nearer to the day of Tweetup.
At the time of my posting this, rooms were still available.
Below you will find five hotels that appeal to me and were the least expensive. Their rankings are mixed. I have left some out because the rank kind of put me off and I have left others off after reading some of the reviews written about them. Yes, I actually did read some of the reviews as if I was booking the place for Mr and me.
Click here to see the original TripAdvisor page I used and judge for yourself :-)
Also you might want to take a look at Booking.com which seems to have all 120 hotel listings and is based on star ratings, not on customer reviews and has a nice map of hotels in York.
Please note: I did not search Booking.com website.
Because I don’t know the area(towns, villages, etc…) around York, I only chose those in York itself.
If you are from York or live near York, please feel free to recommend a hotel, B&B or hostel in comments below. I’m sure those travelling the miles to this Tweetup will greatly appreciate your advice.

I’ve stayed at Holiday Inn Express before. Not this particular one, but they are usually extremely clean and service is quite good. According to reviews this one seems to need a bit of updating.
