1 night in York

Good family room but right on street side so lots of street noise. Other rooms off street would be fine. Good food onsite and surrounded by tasty restaurants. Heart of old city. Approx 1 mile walk to train station.
Theresa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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!

Lovely stay

Stayed here for one night - great room, comfy bed, clean en-suite. Easy self check in and staff were very accommodating to requests. Definitely stay here again.
Lucy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good and bad

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.

Trivsam och stort rum! Trevlig personal! Dock störande ljud från vägen Mysigt och sitta ute vid vattnet och ta ngt att dricka/äta.

This hotel was a little dated, i emailed them before to see if we could park there noone got back to me, therefore we ended paying £23 for parking

Average fusty room.

The room was average, you get what you pay for. Everything just smelt fusty. Then at 1:30 the fella next door felt like he needed to let me know he was coming back slamming his door 4 times.

Lovely staff and food

We stayed for 1 night as a halfway stop en route, the staff were extremely helpful and polite. Unfortunately the facilities in the room were lacking, the bed was very low and the tiny shower door didnt open fully i had requested a low floor room because i have mobility issues at the moment, but was placed up a flight of stairs. They need to make it absolutely clear on their website that they are not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. The food was really good as was the beer.

The Walkergate Inn was a fab little pub with rooms to stay at. The room I stayed in was fab for the night, with a double, TV, kettle with tea & coffee. A bathroom with shower. The room was safe & secure & a 3 minute walk from the main town centre. The staff I ment on check in/out were warm & friendly. I would definitely stay there again.

I stayed here with 3 other friends and we had an amazing time nothing was too much for the staff at the Inn. Next time I would love to stay in one of the shepherds huts

Our stay was brilliant the staff were fantastic & so friendly. I was unaware that there was on site free parking so I ended up paying but other than that it was an excellent stay.
