Aura Retreat with Free Parking

Walking distance to city centre, clean and comfortable.

Location was as expected and reasonably close to central York. I was a clean comfortable apartment with good seating, a good kitchen and comfortable bed.

The shower u-bend was faulty allowing bad smells to come back up the waste pipe. I reported it and was told it would be fixed. Meanwhile I stopped the smell by covering the outlet. It was quite hot when we were there requiring the siding door type windows to be open when we were in. We used the the provided fan in the bedroom to be used at night. Next to the apartment is a small industrial estate, which had many delivery vans and truck passing the property, was a little noisy but when the windows were closed they did a good job of cutting out the noise. Also the traffic reduced considerably at night. The bed frame leaves little room at the base of the bed to get past. A divan bed frame would have provide a bit more room.

Close to centre easy to find free onsite parking very clean

Brilliant Apartment with everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Close to City Centre and near to some large supermarkets if you need to pick up essentials or want a cheap breakfast to start your day. Staff were really helpful providing details of car parks to use in York when we had arrived early to make use of a first full day.

If I had to mention one thing, it would be that the Sofabed bed could do with a better mattress as it’s only thin, but for 2 nights it was fine for our stay.
