I’m a solo traveler who will be in York for two nights in May. Should I pay a bit more to stay right by Clifford’s tower but a longer walk from the train station or stay in a B&B from Ricks book? My concerns are more personal safety as a woman traveling alone. Let me add that I’m traveling by train.
We stayed at the Minster Hotel, walking distance from the north gate.
I also stayed at The Minster Hotel and it was a short walk from the train station but still close enough to all the attractions. It was quiet and had more of a residential feel, whereas the Clifford Tower area was livelier and busier.
