Location is great. Hotel is very very basic. No frills but gets the job done.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The rooms are quite small. It is not luxury but more than adequate to spend a night to explore Yorks city center. It was very quiet once the inn closed at 10 and being able to park the car right behind the inn was great. We arrived shortly after noon and only wanted to park the car. But our room was ready so they let us check in three hours early which was a bonus we were not expecting!

I loved the charm and character of this inn. They provided toiletries and towels. There was a kettle in the room with some tea bags and instant coffee, which I really appreciated. Comfy bed. Will definitely consider staying there again next time I am in York.

The room is just a nice size for a single traveller and the layout of the bathroom was much easier to move around in. The location of being just outside the city centre helped and easy enough to get to the train station. There was some noise from the bar downstairs but it died down and was easy to ignore. For the price, amenities, location and ease of travel - I'd stay there again.

6/10 Good

Really helpful and friendly staff, with clean though fairly basic rooms. The shower setup wasn’t ideal because of the door design and limited space. It was a little noisy until around midnight, but that’s to be expected for accommodation above a pub. The location was great overall, and it’s a good option if you’re looking for somewhere convenient and reasonably priced.

6/10 Good

The hotel was in a very convenient location for visiting the Shambles and city core. We found the room itself to be a bit rough in terms of amenities. The stall shower was on the small side for me, but the hot water came quickly and didn’t run out. Our biggest complaint was that the TV signal was not stable (kept glitching out) and the room never really cooled down in the evening (no A/C). Granted, we were there during a record heat wave. The full English breakfast was large and well prepared.

I wasn’t expecting a lot as it was about the cheapest room without being a hostel. However, it suited my needs and was private. It lacks the amenities of the bigger hotels, but the check in was easy, the staff were friendly, and it was a short distance to the Shambles. The topper was that they serve a fantastic breakfast at a reasonable price!

Great location Pub downstairs does food. Rooms are a little tired and the bathroom was freezing. There is a kettle but the plug is on the floor next to the bed. It is also impossible to fill the kettle directly from the sink. We used the cups to fill it. Onsite parking costs £10 which we weren’t aware about.

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. Location was great, room was very basic, dated and tiny. Good to have parking, but was charged £10 cash for this although advertised as free parking..

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.
