Amazing breakfast and really lovely staff. Very cute rooms, the secret beer garden is wonderful. Would recommend and return

Clean room friendly staff

Check in process was very straightforward. However the building is currently covered in scaffolding whilst works are being carries out, so we inadvertently walked right past it on arrival as you can't see the name! It's a beautiful historic building. The bedrooms are painted in dark colours with pictures of local landmarks hanging on the walls. The bed was very comfortable however only one side had a bedside cupboard for a glass of water and there were no power sockets near the bed. The room and bathroom was nice and warm. We had to leave the bathroom blind down most of the time as there was no frosted glass in the window. Bring slippers for the wooden floor in the bedroom. We could hear the person in the room above us walking around on the very squeaky floors - but it's an old building. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice and freshly cooked to order.

Incredible stay! The room was so cute and clean. Staff were legends for hauling my heavy bag up and down the stairs for me without complaint.

Clean room, but it is an old building which inevitably presents a few challenges when being maintained. The staff we met were happy and extremely friendly, special mention to the waitress at breakfast who explained she had been there for 26 years, what a great sense of humour. The property is within half a mile of the main station, well situated, and just stone’s throw from the Minster. I would happily stay there again when I next visit York

Fat Badger is very central and close to all amenities. Shambles, York Minster, Bettys coffee shop and museums etc. Many good restaurants, pubs all nearby. It was ver clean if a little tired with regard to decor. The food was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely breakfast served by Debbie who had us in stitches. She was very professional and also very welcoming as was every member of staff. We would definitely return.

Lovely place to stay. Great room, fab breakfast and lovely staff. Very convenient and close to all attractions

👍

Lovely room with extremely comfy bed and pillows. Delicious breakfast and friendly welcoming staff. Very quirky and we loved staying in an historic building inside the walls of York.

Everything was fantastic - especially the friendly staff!

Really quaint hotel, great location and beautiful rooms with a really comfy bed! We would have absolutely loved our stay here, however there was a beer keg delivery at about 6am during our stay which sounded and felt like an earthquake, we were on the third floor and this delivery lasted for over an hour and half. I’d recommend checking with staff if a delivery is planned when you arrive as our stay would have been perfect without this but it was so loud for so long it was impossible to sleep so we had no choice but to get up and were very tired for our second day exploring York instead of feeling well rested on our Christmas break. Other than this the hotel was really lovely so it was a shame as if I could guarantee a delivery wasn’t to take place during our stay I would definitely stay again as we loved the quaint and York style pub feel of the hotel!

Cute

Great hotel, right in the heart of York, next to the Minister. Helpful friendly staff provide a great service, excellent breakfast and good selection of local hand pulled brews at the bar.

Fabulous stay at the fat badger York, we stayed in room 8 top floor nice room but just a little noisy coming from the street late evenings but apart from that, excellent, Friendly staff and great food, we will be back

Nothing to add

All was good about the room apart the bathroom. First, the light switch above the sink was hard to turn on/off. Second, there was no rubber matmamat for the shower

We found The Fat Badger to be the perfect place to stay in historic walkable York.

Everything about The Fat badger was great! The location couldn't have been better for getting to and from the bus station or railway station. The accommodation was great! The room was so clean and well maintained. The staff everywhere was so helpful. The breakfast was so tasty with a lot of options. I would definitely stay again.

First and foremost, this is not a five-star accommodation. However, if you’re looking for an hotel with old charm with a beer garden and fantastic staff, this will foot the bill. The beer garden had the best mac & cheese and parsnip soup you’ve ever had in your life. Location is extremely convenient to the train station, York Minster, restaurants, pubs and shopping. They’re not a lot of rooms and there is no elevator. Some doors may not close, and floors may be a little warped, but it is worth the price for a quaint accommodation that has everything. If you need accessible lodging, this is not for you.

We love the fat badger. The staff are really friendly, the accommodation is warm and cozy. The location is perfect. Its only a couple of hundred feet from cathedral and shops.
