Before you start planning a travel budget based on budget prices, remember, though, that the average budget hotel cost is just that, an average, probably reduced by quite a few doss houses and Fawlty Towers type establishments. .
All rooms on this list are doubles with ensuite facilities for less than £ 100 per night. Keep a few things in mind when choosing a cheap room:
- Breakfast may not be included.
- There may be a fee or slow connection for wi-fi
- Factor in travel costs to attractions
- Beware of super cheap deals that can be almost impossible to pin down.

A Georgian mansion from around 1827, the Churchill Hotel was, for many years, a government building. It was converted into a hotel in 1985 and in 2006 underwent a £ 2 million renovation. The 32 rooms are stylish, modern and excellent value for money. A standout feature of the hotel is an elegant traditional Georgian staircase that rises to an atrium. It is also well located, just outside Bootham Bar, a gateway to the heart of Old York. The fee for a standard double is just over £ 100, but there are good deals available online. And two-night midweek breaks in York City include breakfast and dinner for two on both nights, bringing the actual rate to well below £ 100.

You know what to expect from a Holiday Inn and this one delivers. Clean and recently renovated rooms with modern bathrooms. Internet access is available but is a bit pricey and breakfast adds a price of ten per person to the price of a room. On the plus side, this hotel overlooks York Racecourse and is only a mile and a half from downtown York. It is advertised as family and has double rooms with a sofa bed for a third guest free. The hotel also participates in Holiday Inn Kids Eat Free offerings.

In addition to great rates, Holiday Inn’s budget brand is great for families. If you can persuade teens to share a room with their parents or grandparents and sleep on a sofa bed, kids up to 18 can stay for free. A suburban hotel about three miles from York’s top attractions, this property is one mile from the convenient Monks Cross Park and Ride, where you can catch a shuttle service to downtown. The rooms are basic and functional, very good for a stopover rather than a vacation. The rate includes a hot buffet breakfast, but not the WiFi.
