We have just stayed for the weekend which was a present for our 40th Wedding Anniversary. Our room was very comfortable with everything you could have wanted tea & coffee machine, dressing gowns & slippers all supplied. We had an evening meal and breakfast included the evening meal was either a set menu or the cost of your voucher was taken off if you used the A la Carte menu which we found a bit confusing but must say the food was excellent they had noted that it was our anniversary and presented us with a decorative fruit board. The breakfast was well presented and arrived hot and looked very appertising. All the staff were pleasant and helpful we wanted to leave our cases earlier in the day which they were very happy for us to do. Drinks were very expensive but did get a complementary bilini or presecco and they didn’t have any house rosé but offered us a bottle of rosé for the price of the house wine so couldn’t complain overall we had a very enjoyable stay
York and Albany is a consistently excellent restaurant. I've been visiting for over eight years both on business and for pleasure. The ground floor area has windows onto a small garden/yard area and is ideal for lunch. Downstaris the seating area fronts an open kitchen and has a great (and theatrical) atmosphere for an evening meal. The food is excellent - portions are more than adequate without stuffing you and the ingredients are of high quality. The place is well run with very friendly and high quality staff who are always helpful.
Just returned from a lovely week staying at Y&A and it was perfect in every regard!
We were in a Superior Room, which had plenty of room for the 2 of us. The bathroom was HUGE ( by london standards) and the infloor heating was fantastic to return to after traipsing around London for the day.
Breakfast every morning was wonderful, as were the flat whites! we only upgraded one morning as the "continental" offering was so impressive! The most beautiful fruit salads, the yogurt with granola and fruit compote....almost worth the trip alone!
Y&A was the perfect base to tour London, we found ourselves riding buses most often as the views from the second level were fantastic! Buses to take us anywhere we wanted to go were no more that 2 blocks away. After a busy day in "downtown" London it was so pleasant to be back in relative quiet of Camden Town in only 20-30 mins. Returning to the same few faces at reception and our small boutique hotel made the london experience so intimate.
With so many places to eat we only did dinner one night at Y&A. We opted for pizza from the wood burning oven. I was somewhat embarrassed to be "that guest" to asked to be seated in the less formal pizza parlor rather than the formal dining room and the staff were happy to accommodate! The pizza was fantastic, as is to be expected! and HUGE! we ordered 2 but one would have been perfect for sharing.
Thank you so much to the entire team at Y&A! you made our trip perfect!
