Ideal for Christmas Markets
Stayed three days for the Christmas Markets. Accommodation was expensive and not justified as the room was in average condition. Bed was very comfortable and the location was excellent.

We had a lovely stay. The breakfast was really good and the room was clean and water pressure in the shower was great.

8/10 Very good

We loved the view outside our window of the old city gate, it was so close we felt we could reach out the window and touch it!. The room was comfortable and the staff helpful. Would recommend for an atmospheric stay.

A well situated location, close to all the beauty of York. Staff were really friendly and bedrooms were clean. Highly recommend if coming to York.

Great location and place to stay
Only stayed one night but staff were very kind and it’s in a great location. The building is beautiful and the bed was really comfy. The pub has a great beer garden too. One thing to say (& this is common for the architecture across York) is that the doorways can be quite small and a bit of a hazard if you’re tall!
Sam, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful atmosphere and very easy walking distance to all the main attractions.
Charlotte, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay once we found it as had problems accessing it by car in the dark, no parking and need to use carpark quite a distance to walk from the hotel. The room was quirky and the bed very comfortable and cosy. Staff were very helpful and food lovely.

Excellent!!!
Beautiful room lots of character. Tasty breakfast and friendly staff. The only downside was our room was the 4th floor and steep stairs could be an issue with mobility.
Suzanne, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A unique hotel in York. Great location close to The Minster, the Wall, the Shambles and the Art Gallery. Good restaurant on site but also many other dining options nearby.
Susan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quirky Pub with rooms, lots of little eating area's and a large beer garden, bedroom was clean and tidy set just inside the city walls. Breakfast was freshly made and excellent and the food menu was varied and reasonable. Bar area is a little small and fills up at busy times , apart from that no other issues.
Timothy, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great Stay in York
This was a very cute and fun place to stay at the end of our trip to England. The staff is so friendly and our room was comfortable. The spaces in the hallways were quite tight, but we enjoyed the rustic feel of the place and our English breakfasts. Very convenient to sightseeing, as it is right down the block from incredible York Minster.
Lisa, 2-night trip
