The Gillygate

Wonderful stay. Friendly staff. Delicious breakfast. The atmosphere was fantastic and felt local. It felt so homely and comforting.

Great location, great and hepfu staff, and wonderfu breakfast. With parking as well!

Breakfast was minimal regarding choice. Staff friendly. Room was very worn but had everything we needed. Sachet tea, coffee and hot chocolate drinks and biscuits weren't replenished on 2nd day of our stay, but I'm sure if we asked for them we could have gotten some more.

The room we stayed in was a double in the courtyard. It suited me and my husband as only for 2 nights, bed was comfy and seemed bigger than a double that was advertised. Bathroom is small, shower was excellent, and you don't need to bring soap, shower gel or shamphoo as small bottles are provided. Complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits, which is always nice. Staff are lovely and helpful, breakfast is good. Well worth a visit x

Not the best welcome when we arrived. Breakfast better on 2nd day, ladies serving breakfast were lovely and friendly. Bathroom left a lot to be desired there was black mould on the walls, ceiling and shower. The toilet seat was loose and there were cracks in the porcelain. The bedroom curtains were mouldy and the secondary glazing was held open by a wooden block. Nice clean and comfy bed room of a good size.

Room was clean, carpet starting to show its age. The only negative was size, it was TINY. There was nowhere in the room to put suitcases except on floor and even then, space so small, stepping over/around it constantly. Would have been ok for one person, but awfully cramped for two of us.

The bathroom was damp, mouldy and smelly. The WC was broken and was constantly running, which meant that the in line macerator grinder noisily ran every 20 seconds (I timed it) keeping me awake all night. The double glazing was held open by a lump of wood, meaning I could not shut out the traffic noise. This was a very disappointing stay

All good. Great parking, clean rooms, lovely breakfasts and friendly staff 😊

Great first stay here ... Fantastic location .. literally 5 mins and your in the shambles .. superb pub with rooms .. can't think of anything to complain about ... Highly recommend

The Gillygate was perfectly situated to all attractions

All the staff were lovely, made us feel very welcome. Nothing was too much for them, the breakfast was very tasty. Would definitely recommend and return in the future.

Travel for business, average 3 hotel night stays a week, this was reasonable price for location £125 for Tuesday night. Stayed in WBC room, good sized and comfortable. Booked on the premises Breakfast is served 7.30-9:30 according to website, however got there and told only served 9-9:30 to account for walk ins from 10am! Luckily the pub has nothing on Tuesday night, so was advised of an 11pm close, however the extremely loud music continued on after this, making it an extremely restless night for an early start for work the next day. Thankfully, as soon as i contacted the bar manager/landlady the music was turned off. The smart tv signal isnt very good so channels kept cutting out, but if you are yravelling for pleasure the real advantage is not needing the TV as the walking distance location to everything would cater for being out of the room more. Wouldn't return if travelling for business, but would consider for leisure due to location and helpfullness/friendliness of staff!

We can't fault this hotel. Staff are amazing, very helpful with recommendations on places to see. Next visit to York I'll be booking here. Parking isn't the easiest to find, we had to ring the hotel. The member of staff gave brilliant directions and even offered to stand on the street if needed.

Very good for the price for the area. Very large room, comfortable clean bed and great drink facilities in room. Wonderful and helpful staff. Great relaxing pub atmosphere. Small car park which is a bonus. Relaxed breakfast atmosphere. Definitely be staying here again.

Excellent stay, pub with rooms and free parking! Convenient walking distance from city centre and Grand Opera House Theatre.. Couldn't stay for breakfast as had to dash but it smelt good! Would stay again.

The staff were lovely generally with the exception of the person I met on the last day who was downright hostile . They did a sandwich for me to take away in day one which was lovey. The WiFi didn’t work which was disappointing. I was advised to collect a router in my return but I feel this should have been addressed. I wasn’t great about staying in a room used for pets but it is what it is . The room was ok, I slept well but the shower was very slow which may not be in the control of the owners .

Great location and price. Staff were all welcoming and friendly. The room was like a furnace and it did take me a moment or two to figure how to turn the heating down.

Great breakfast, close to the Minster.

Very good stay.

Great location great staff
