Had such a lovely time in York and the staff at the fat badger added to the whole experience. Would highly recomend to anyone planning a visit to the city as a place to stay . The staff are polite and friendly and the morning lady who does the breakfast shifts is amazing and had us laughing she was from leeds just so she knows its her we are talking about . The rooms were very clean with clean bedding every day our only regret is we didnt stay longer

Food was amazing both in burger night & at breakfast. Beer garden wonderful. Hotel is a very old building in York, so you need to be prepared for narrow, squeaky stairs, sloping floors to room. The bed was comfy but the standard room is small & bathroom was just ok. There is a lot of outside noise from other bars on the street & traffic noise so the provided ear plugs were very welcome. Great for a short stay in an old world authentic inn - don’t expect a plush high end refurbished hotel but it all adds to the character of the place.

Lovely old building in the heart of old York. Room was nice although I’ve slept in more comfortable beds- I prefer a firmer mattress. Breakfast was excellent with good quality products. May not be suitable for people with mobility issues.

Not only did we enjoy our lodging at the Fat Badger but the meals we had there were fabulous as well. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us during their busy holiday season. The property is cozy and convenient to the city center and we couldn’t have been happier with the staff. We had a lovely stay.

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.

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.

8/10

The location is excellent and the inn full of character. The staff were all lovely and breakfast well presented and very good quality . The room was clean and pleasant, but as it was overlooked by both the City Walls and the beer garden I had to keep the curtains closed. Also the industrial extractor fan for the kitchen was right outside my window so there was a continuous noise from 7.00 until late into the evening. In a way, it was a plus because it was white noise that mitigated the noise from the beer garden. It is a pub with rooms, and there was quite a bit of noise from the bar below in the evening. But this didn't carry on past 11, and I was able to get to sleep quite easily without using the earplugs they thoughtfully provided. I'd happily stay there again.
