Traditional style but enjoyable and convenient.

We didn't eat as we had commitments but the beds were comfortable with duvets that should be warm in winter.

8/10 Very good

Good value for money

We stayed for two nights in August. The room was basic but comfortable and clean and well worth the price. The bed was comfortable and we got a good night’s sleep. The bar is well priced with a good selection of alcoholic drinks and the hotel is only a short walk from the main attractions in York . Would definitely stay again

A good base for a decent price.

Really enjoyed this hotel as a base for visiting York, rooms are above a bar but no problem with noise, all a little dated but clean with a comfy bed 10 min walk along the river to York centre, would use again if visiting York.
