great walking distance to parks and historic landmarks

I enjoyed my stay here, as it was just a 20-minute stroll to beautiful Rowntree Park and an easy walk to York Minster, making it perfect for my weekend explorations of the city's rich history.

We had a wonderful time staying here, especially enjoying the serene garden access and the cozy seating area by the fountain. It was the perfect spot to unwind after a long day. Just a heads up, the mattress could use some upgrading, but that didn't overshadow our lovely stay! 😊

staying at emerald residence was a pleasure. the staff were super friendly and always willing to help. we loved how close it was to the town center, just 1.5 miles away! the comfortable room had a large bath/shower and was very clean. the fridge and large fan were lifesavers in the hot weather. we’d definitely come back!

100% recommend

we had a great stay at emerald residence! the superior family room was very spacious and comfortable. parking was easy with plenty of off-road spaces. the bus stop right across the road made getting into the city centre super convenient. tea and coffee making facilities were a nice touch. We loved using the patio doors to step outside. the check-in lady was really helpful and shared all the info we needed.

Loved the spacious room with a smart TV and the clean, well-equipped bathroom. The fridge was a lifesaver!

Spacious family room

It was just a solid selection for a fleeting trip in York with value for money. The shower had good pressure, which was nice. Check check-in in advance to avoid any delays.

would love to come back

A spacious Superior Twin room with a fridge and a cozy bath. Liked the smart TV and the lovely homey foyer. Plenty of tea/coffee options. Nice heating. Good location near shops and river walks. The parking was convenient too. Felt safe with strong locks and CCTV. a comfortable vibe.

I enjoyed my stay in the Standard Double Room. The room was spacious and filled with natural light, giving it a welcoming atmosphere. Noor, the housekeeper, was incredibly friendly, making us feel right at home. Plenty of coffee, tea, and bottled water available, which was a nice touch. The location was decent too, about a half-hour walk from the city center, and free parking made it even better. Unfortunately, the mattress was uncomfortable. we felt like we were sleeping right on the springs. The curtains didn’t block out light well, waking us up early in the morning. Having a shared bathroom was inconvenient, especially when I expected more private arrangements. it was a mixed experience, but the charm of the place and Noor’s warmth made it better.

The location along the main road offered convenient access to both the outlet and the city center, making it a perfect stopover spot. The room, while comfortable and clean, could use a touch of TLC to enhance its appeal. Checking in was a breeze with a simple code system, and having private parking was a significant advantage.

Comfortable Stay with Room for Improvement

We had a lovely night in a comfortable twin room. The beds were cozy, but the bathroom showed signs of age. The complex entry system was a bit confusing initially. Great nearby dining options made for a memorable evening. Consider requesting quieter accommodations.

Would definitely recommend for short visits

Helpful staff, convenient location, made my stay enjoyable with their quick room change when requested and the free wi-fi in rooms allowed me to stay connected while exploring the city, which is only 48 km from the nearest airport.

Not a single issue.

The location sits close enough to the city center, making it easy to explore key sights. The room included a kettle and fridge, adding a small touch of convenience for a quick snack or drink.

Carpeting in the shared toilet raises eyebrows, as it seemed long overdue for a thorough cleaning. The bathroom facilities were clearly aging, with leaking showers and ceiling patches that felt uninviting. The complex entry system can be frustrating, especially if there are issues with door codes. we found the overall noise from the street disruptive due to the poor insulation of the windows.

Spacious room and friendly atmosphere

We enjoyed our stay for one night in a Deluxe Triple Room. The welcome was warm, and the room was quite spacious for three of us. the heating struggled to maintain warmth, so it might be better to visit during warmer months. a good location for accessing the city center and shopping outlet.
