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.

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.

The place itself was lovely a little dated in the bedrooms but so clean, short walk to the shambles, food at the hotel was fantastic excellent price, can recommend the Eggs Benedict for breakfast, outside lovely seating area right by the river and last but not least staff are so welcoming very attentive 5 star service will be going back again

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

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.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

4/10 Fair

We chose this property for it's location, right in the old part of York, which as fantastic. The room itself was noisy, over crowded with a few broken items. The sheets didn't fit the bed properly and kept coming off in the night making it quite uncomfortable.

Away with friends

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

Fun & friendly.

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.

The staff was very friendly and the room clean and warm. Town centre with all the shops and places to visit are very close, just a short walk.

6/10 Good

Liked the inn. The staff was wonderful. The premises could use a little updating.
J Kelly, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent location. The staff in the pub were friendly and delightful. The room was clean. The double bed in room 7 needs a new mattress and a wood slate is underneath the bed and should be fixed. But overall a very pleasant stay for the one night.
