This feels like a pub with "regulars", so it has personality. The menu is fairly pub standard, but the meal I had was done well. There's a pleasant garden and the riverside is just a short walk away. The room was a comfortable size, the radiator and bathroom towel rail were heat adjustable, everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable. There were a couple of minor issues; I reported on leaving and the manager said he'd address them and they'd probably have moved me if I'd raised them earlier. The location is convenient: an easy walk into town, via streets or riverside as you prefer, but not so central as to be noisy. And parking on site, which becomes rare a couple of blocks further into town.

Breakfast is not to be missed. Cooked to order and a bargain at £12.50. The produce used is top class. The bar and dining room are very nice. Just what you'd expect from a pub/hotel. Staff were excellent and the rooms spotless. The rooms are typical of an old building. Practical and very clean. The odd paint scuff but expected in this style of property. So near the city crntre with free parking this property is an absolute bargain. Great value for money. Highly recommended

Room was clean and comfortable. Location was a little further out from the centre than I expected but was in easy walking distance and on a main bus route.

The room was nothing like the pictures advertised. Very tiny twin room with bed right beside the door. Very old mattress and flat thin pillows. Only lukewarm water in the shower and toilet was extremely noisy for 5 minutes each time it was flushed. Reception is a combination of bartender, waitress and reception.

Loved the history of this pub. Very clean room, comfortable bed and breakfast was great. Would definitely recommend this place if you're visiting York as close to the river walk and not that far for all the major attractions. Plus, free onsite parking which is very hard to find in York.

Stayed 2 nights, everything you need, clean well stocked rooms. Landlord Dan explained everything & was happy to answer any questions. Short walk into York Centre either straight up the road or via the Canal 10-15 min stroll. As noted everything you need clean & well prepared rooms & good selection of beers in the bar with sky sports to watch the football. For me & the wife perfect stay.

We were welcomed with a very friendly greeting. Check in was simple,quick and we opted for breakfast for the 2 mornings. All staff were very friendly. Breakfast was amazing on both mornings, choice of cereal, fruit juice, fresh fruit and yoghurt. Full cooked English breakfast which was cooked to order so came out piping hot. Again the cook ( didn’t get her name) was very pleasant and attentive to our needs. Would highly recommend and we will return. Thank you all.

Good budget hotel to stay in York with free parking. Staff were great and really helpful. Only downside of the room was the single glaze windows. The hotel is on quite a busy road so if you are a light sleeper bring ear plugs or get a room at the back of the hotel.

Not enough storage or places to put things no chair or table or wardrobe just a few coat hangers above kettle and tea making area , I know it’s a small room but needs a update , saniflo waste system noisy , I get that’s the only way to have a w/c ( I’m a plumber ) having a shower was scary , water filling tray ? Overall a nice hotel great staff perfect location and free parking
