Premier Inn York City Centre (Layerthorpe)

The location

Layerthorpe lies just east of the city walls, close to the River Foss. From the hotel it is about 250 metres to the walls and around 350 metres to Monk Bar, one of the medieval gateways, from where Goodramgate leads straight towards York Minster. The area is mostly modern retail and offices, a contrast to the historic streets inside the walls.

Who it suits

As a Premier Inn, it is a predictable, good-value choice for families, couples and groups who want a clean room and plan to spend their days out exploring. Being just outside the walls can make arriving by car easier than staying inside the historic core. Families often find a chain hotel easier for bookings with children.

Nearby

Walk a stretch of the city walls from Monk Bar for views over the Minster's east end. The Royal Oak on Goodramgate is a short walk for a pub meal, and Trio Cafe & Bar is nearby for coffee. DoubleTree by Hilton and Travelodge are close alternatives if this hotel is full. Evenings are easy: walk in through Monk Bar and you are among the pubs and restaurants of the centre within minutes.
