Exactly what I expected a clean bed in a small room with facilities . The WI had a good atmosphere and friendly staff was ideal for an overnight stay

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 was ok, for the price about what you would expect, small TV and en-suite not the cleanest of places.

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.

8/10 Very good

Loads of parking, nice bar, good food. The room showed its age but it's an old building so that's only to be expected. It really couldn't be better located. Make sure you have a GPS to find the place, though as the streets are what you'd expect in a 2000+ year old city. Would definitely stay here again.

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.

Mattress was very soft, not good for the back. Staff were friendly and welcoming, good parking facilities and only a few minutes walk from the town centre.

We stayed a lot of places on our trip around the UK and Ireland, and even though this hotel wasn't the nicest, it was one of our favorites! Our room was small and bathroom had seen better days, but we loved staying here! It is above a pub/restaurant, so food and drinks were convenient. Staff was lovely and fish and chips were amazing! Lots of shops and restaurants around and an easy walk over to the Shambles! Thank you for the awesome stay, Watergate Inn! :D

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.
