Great Stay
An Inn that absolutely oozes character. Regrettably only stopped for the one night but would stop there again without hesitation.

I know its a very old building but I don’t think it could be more non disabled friendly if it tried. Steps in, no disabled toilets, double flights of stairs to bedroom. Big step into shower. Lots of noise from other residents and york Minster bells in the morning. Staff were great though. Food exquisite. Room very hot and no way to open windows up fully.

Full of character Beautiful furnishings. We had small executive double room , bed really comfortable , en-suite modern and clean Breakfast huge and delicious ! Across the road from York Minster Only minor complaint was that the bar closed early (around10.30) Other than that it was perfect and will definitely return

Great Historic Hotel in the Heart of York
This historic property where Guy Fawkes was born 500 years ago has amazing atmosphere. Not a single wall, floor, ceiling, door or other architectural feature is straight, which adds to its interesting provenance. The room was really well decorated with 4 poster bed and modern bathroom. Area to sit, TV etc. Location is literally across the street from York Minster, and 5 minute walk (or less) to the Shambles. Parking was convenient 5 minute walk, but you can drop off baggage just 20 meters from the front door. Would gladly stay again.

Very historical and quaint with central access to tourist areas.
Wi-fi signal was very poor and intermittent in the room which was also tired and poorly maintained. Great staff, location, historical quirkiness, but property undergoing scaffolded exterior maintenance as was nearby buildings allowed for early morning workman wake up calls! Good food, drinks, outdoor indoor ambience however, residence? Not so much.

4/10 Fair
On arriving it was tricky to locate the Property as Scaffolding is covering the front of the building, which wasnt the best first impression for a night away with my wife and I think this should have been clear when booking. Given the selection in York I would have picked another hotel had I known.
Staff were very friendly.
The room was nice and the bed great. When we arrived back at the property we realised the windows weren't locked and one of the windows can't be locked, which combined with the Scaffolding isn't ideal and made my wife nervous when going to bed.
The pub, especially below room 4, was loud until 0030, so it wouldn't be good for anyone wanting an early night.
Plug socket beside bed is faulty and the kettle didn't switch off causing boiling water to spill out over clothes and belongings on the table.
Check out is 1100, but we were woke by kitchen/ bar noises, singing, at around 0800, so a lay in wasnt on the cards.
Breakfast was great and I would eat there again.

Not For Me
The pictures of the room were adorable. I was excited to stay in such a historic and quaint place. But pictures cannot fully encapsulate the experience. I would not stay here again!
I should have listened to some of the reviews warning of the uneven floors, crooked stairs, noisy chandelier, and smelly room. I felt like I was in a haunted house.

A wonderful historic experience
Wonderful stay, great City location, friendly staff, lovely room, very tastefully laid out considering the period of the building. Stay here if you want to enjoy a historic experience. The bed was so comfy and the pillows were like sleeping on clouds. Lots of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits in the room, can't fault the stay, look forward to staying here again.
