What Guests Say About Their Stay

The room is just a nice size for a single traveller and the layout of the bathroom was much easier to move around in. The location of being just outside the city centre helped and easy enough to get to the train station. There was some noise from the bar downstairs but it died down and was easy to ignore. For the price, amenities, location and ease of travel - I'd stay there again.

Loved the staff they were very helpful, friendly and courteous. Room was spotless and well worth the money paid.

While the room was a bit small, the location was great. You can walk to almost any of the many old-town attractions. There is a decent restaurant/bar below the hotel. The staff was all very friendly. And, as a bonus, there is free secure parking on the lot just behind the hotel (you enter through a gate that goes under the 2nd floor). It's a bit loud until 11:00 (on the weekend) and then very quiet afterward. Despite the crowded room, we loved it and would go back.

Really helpful and friendly staff, with clean though fairly basic rooms. The shower setup wasn’t ideal because of the door design and limited space. It was a little noisy until around midnight, but that’s to be expected for accommodation above a pub. The location was great overall, and it’s a good option if you’re looking for somewhere convenient and reasonably priced.

The rooms were very dirty, the Wi-Fi access code was not indicated within the rooms, the general condition of the rooms were not great for what we have paid. I have stayed in many hotels around the country at a similar price but these have been far better for value and overall condition. When leaving one of the rooms this morning after a night of rain, jumping across a major puddle was not fun!! The room that I should have been given was occupied by someone else, the room that I had been given had a small roof light as the only natural light. This acted a as a loud drum during the heavy rain during the night and woke me many times.

I wasn’t expecting a lot as it was about the cheapest room without being a hostel. However, it suited my needs and was private. It lacks the amenities of the bigger hotels, but the check in was easy, the staff were friendly, and it was a short distance to the Shambles. The topper was that they serve a fantastic breakfast at a reasonable price!

Great location Pub downstairs does food. Rooms are a little tired and the bathroom was freezing. There is a kettle but the plug is on the floor next to the bed. It is also impossible to fill the kettle directly from the sink. We used the cups to fill it. Onsite parking costs £10 which we weren’t aware about.

Great location in centre of York, walking distance to shops, bars, restaurants and the Barbican centre. Room itself was dated, no central heating, just two small stand-alone heaters (which did heat the room) and small bathroom with shower. Tea and coffee facilities were a nice touch.

It’s ok and what you expect for the price in the city centre. The rooms are very dated but clean. The noise from the bars surrounding is loud as the old windows don’t really block much noise. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. If you’re on a budget and just need a basic room for 1 night this place will do.

Good location but as it's attached to the pub it was noisy at night from people plus could hear noise from upstairs/next door. Room was sufficient for one night. Pillows were a little on the soft side. Bathroom compact, shower good. Can get discount on breakfast as staying there. All staff that I interacted with were very nice and helpful, could leave luggage to collect later. It was very close to shops and restaurants.

Rooms were musty, mold in the showers, hair all over the sinks. Carpet staples sticking up out of the carpet where my husband cut his foot walking in. Wouldn't even have stayed one night if we had the choice but there was no where else to stay in York as everything was fully booked. So we ended up sleeping with all our clothes on and a hood up. The only good thing about this property is the one employee they have working for them who was polite and kind. Gave poor service for Staff & Service as when we tried to deal with the manager they just ignored our concerns.

We booked the accommodation last minute during York Food Festival, so availabilty was limited to the small double room. Small is an understatement. The bedroom was pretty grim with no opening windows, a small oscillating fan and a metal rack for clothing. There was a tiny, unnoticeable step into the bathroom, perfect for toe stubbing and the shower screen surround was pitted. That said, the breakfast and coffee was good and the staff were lovely. We glanced into other rooms which looked perfectly okay, so maybe we were unlucky with our choice.

The staff are exceptional! They are very friendly, helpful and go above and beyond for you. We couldn’t have asked for better. The breakfast in the pub below was good. When we needed ice for our sodas in our room they happily gave it to us. We were even allowed to check in early with no problems. High marks to the staff!! It’s in a wonderful and central location! Super close walk to the sites of York! The rooms are very dirty and in need of DEEP cleaning; new furniture and a complete overhaul. If they’d clean the rooms it would be a great place to stay. Again, amazing location and some of the best staff I’ve ever encountered!
