Warm and welcoming. Very central. We dropped our bags in before check in. We went out for breakfast and left our bags at reception while we wandered around. The room was very spacious and comfortable. It was nice and quiet. The shower was good
Lovely quiet hotel set back from the Main Street with all the shops, restaurants and train station all within walking distance. We stayed here for a wedding and it was the perfect location and friendly staff.
It was such a convenient and lovely hotel. Feels like staying with relatives outside the room. Quite historic and cozy. The upstairs room was modern and comfortable. The shower and bathroom newly upgraded. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I will recommend this hotel to friends
Our room was lower ground so very dark and claustrophobic. A notice in the room said The window had to be left open for ventilation, so the heating came on which seemed mad. The room would have been cold without heat but to let it drift out of the window seemed pointless.
Very clean and amenities good.
BUT
Woken at 6:30 am by a delivery to the sports bar next door. Beer barrels being unloaded and moved around the courtyard sounded like the ceiling was coming down ! As we were below ground level the noise and vibration was pretty bad !!!
We did speak to a member of staff who said other guests had complained but the bar refuses to change their delivery times.
A great find, right in the middle of everything, lots of shops and pubs. There are very steep and narrow stairs so be prepared for that but the rooms were nice, comfortable and clean.
Me and the wife stayed here for her graduation and we loved it, the building is decorated with the history of the building in mind, bed is extremely comfy, location is in walking distance for everything, there’s no parking but Marygate is only a ten minute walk, we were woken at 6:30am due to people throwing kegs outside but that couldn’t be helped, overall we would stay again, we loved it.

secure entry and secluded area as well as friendly, helpful staff. Would stay again.
OMG. I think this hotel is my very favorite of all the hotels I’ve ever stayed at in my entire life! The location could NOT be better! In the center of everything I wanted to see! The hotel/decor are AMAZING. Such a comfortable bed and perfect bathroom. The only thing that could make it better would be a mini fridge. Don’t hesitate…book it…it’s awesome!
The majority of the staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel is well situated for exploring York (if you dont mind the 10 minute walk from the car park with your bags). Unfortunately the hotel was let down by the receptionist on arrival who was rude and unwelcoming. She was very blunt and curtly told that we couldn't check in as none of the rooms were ready and we couldn't access ours until well after 3pm, despite check-in being at 3pm. When we asked if we could leave our bags at reception we weren't offered any assistance, it felt like we were putting the receptionist out - we awkwardly had to stack them behind her while she sat there in silence. The drinks selection isn't brilliant (cheap plastic bottles of wine). Room ok but a little tired in places and accessed only by a very narrow and steep flight of stairs. Sorry but we wouldn't say that this hotel warrants the star rating.
Lovely little hotel situated in the city centre of York. Easy access to shop, resturaunts and bars. Staff were helpful and gave directions to nearest car park. We had the basement room which was fantastic, only downside is the internet access in the lower floors are very weak. Not ideal if you’re there working as the connection drops out a lot.
Good central location. Interesting and historic building. Friendly and helpful staff. Decent sized room with comfy bed. Good shower. Good value for money.
Room could do with a bit of redecoration and furniture a bit tatty in parts.
This quirky and charming hotel is very well located near lots of shops and restaurants and the main sights. No restaurant or elevator in the hotel, or any common space, but the rooms are well appointed and there are good amenities (toiletries and tissues). We stayed in the "attic" area which had eaves and a sloping bathroom floor, plus a very narrow "servants" staircase to climb with our luggage. The room had character and everything we needed for a reasonable price. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

It's a 300 year old building that has It's charm. However, getting a suitcase up the narrow
winding staircase is certainly challenging. No modern conveniences like elevators. The beds were very very hard. After some insistance, the staff gave me an extra duvet that I could use for padding. Most of the staff were great. We stayed late August/ early Sept and had to have the fan going 24/7. It would be boiling in the summer. Even though the location was excellent, I wouldn't stay there again.
