Terrace room we booked looked out directly into diners and drinkers a few feet away so blinds kept closed. Room was clean but needed a refresh as furnishings tired, walls marked, blinds broken. Building is well located with an interesting history and the cellar bar was good. There are much better rooms elsewhere for the price

Great location. Main building is quirky and beautiful. We were in a room not in the main building. There was a strong smell of damp. I informed housekeeper about one bulb not working and a faulty bedside light. She insisted I must be mistaken, when she checked She reluctantly agreed I was right. Overall a pleasant stay but smell of damp and dismissive housekeeper tainted the experience

Comfortable and safe stay, but this did not feel like a 5* experience. The room was beautiful however, it was cramped for 2 adults and 2 children. We had dinner at the restaurant, which was average at best however, the breakfast was very good with a varied selection. The hotel is an excellent choice for its location but just didn’t match its 5 star reputation.

This is a wonderful old building with quaint decor, a lovely staff, and very tasty breakfast. It's perfectly located being both easy to get to from the train station and a short stroll from the sites of York. There is a bit of noise from the bars, but luckily they provide ear plugs of you need them.

This is a very old building and it has been lovingly and beautifully restored. Perfect location in York to stay. Easy walk from the train station and close to the York Minster and the Shambles market. Dozens of restaurants, pubs and shops around the hotel. Cannot wait to go back!

The hotel was beautiful. Breakfast spectacular.
Be aware - there is no locked storage area if you arrive early. When they communicate that they will store your luggage until check-in time, it is just sitting out below a set of stairs for other patrons to see and potentially remove.
