Travelodge York Central Layerthorpe

A flagship Travelodge

The hotel was launched as Travelodge's flagship in York and its fifth hotel in the city. With 128 rooms it is a sizeable property, and it has its own bar café, so you can get breakfast or an evening drink without heading into town.

Location by the Foss

Layerthorpe sits on the River Foss on the north-east side of the centre. Monk Bar, one of the medieval gateways, and the stretch of the city walls towards the Minster are a short walk away, and the Treasurer's House and York Minster are within easy reach on foot. The Royal Oak on Goodramgate is a handy traditional pub just inside the walls. Walking along the Foss is a pleasant alternative route into the centre on a dry day.

Who it suits

On-site parking is the big plus here, as central York parking is limited and expensive. It works for families and groups who want simple rooms and a car park, and are happy to walk ten minutes or so into the historic core. With Travelodge now running five hotels in York, it is worth comparing locations; this one trades a slightly longer walk for easier parking and a riverside setting.
