Cute room in fab location. So easy to get around York. Delicious breakfast. Room clean. Could do with a little TLC with paint on doors. A little noisy, but to be expected when staying in an old pub. Would stay again.

Had a lovely stay in York. Had attic room in the old hotel which was nicely presented. No aircon but had a fan. Good sized room and ensuite but no hooks or anywhere to hang towels/clothes. And no room for cosmetics. Good breakfasts. Good location.

The secret garden is a great addition, but can get very busy . If staying over get a room on a lower floor , we were on the top floor , 6 flights of creaky stairs . Breakfast was good .

Great hotel, right in the heart of York, next to the Minister. Helpful friendly staff provide a great service, excellent breakfast and good selection of local hand pulled brews at the bar.
Verified review

6/10 Good

This could be quite a cosy hotel in the winter. However, my room was totally unsuitable for a summertime stay during yet another heatwave. There was a fan. No AC. Poor ventilation, the windows would only open a few inches. Top floor, it may have been soaking up heat. It was far too warm, I managed only 2 hours of sleep. Thank god they left a big bottle of water in the room. Shower was very tight; bathroom was too small. Breakfast was very good.

The room was fine, and the breakfast good. It's well situated in the centre of the old city. The only issue for a 79 year old was our room was three floors up with no lift. The staff were very helpful carrying luggage for us.

We were in the attic room. People with any mobility problems would not be able to access this room. Stairs were very steep. Staff were very helpful with luggage etc but access cannot be improved. Food was very good as was the service. Location is excellent.
