A great find, right in the middle of everything, lots of shops and pubs. There are very steep and narrow stairs so be prepared for that but the rooms were nice, comfortable and clean.

Beautiful stay in a hidden location
Me and the wife stayed here for her graduation and we loved it, the building is decorated with the history of the building in mind, bed is extremely comfy, location is in walking distance for everything, there’s no parking but Marygate is only a ten minute walk, we were woken at 6:30am due to people throwing kegs outside but that couldn’t be helped, overall we would stay again, we loved it.

BEST HOTEL EVER.
OMG. I think this hotel is my very favorite of all the hotels I’ve ever stayed at in my entire life! The location could NOT be better! In the center of everything I wanted to see! The hotel/decor are AMAZING. Such a comfortable bed and perfect bathroom. The only thing that could make it better would be a mini fridge. Don’t hesitate…book it…it’s awesome!

The majority of the staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel is well situated for exploring York (if you dont mind the 10 minute walk from the car park with your bags). Unfortunately the hotel was let down by the receptionist on arrival who was rude and unwelcoming. She was very blunt and curtly told that we couldn't check in as none of the rooms were ready and we couldn't access ours until well after 3pm, despite check-in being at 3pm. When we asked if we could leave our bags at reception we weren't offered any assistance, it felt like we were putting the receptionist out - we awkwardly had to stack them behind her while she sat there in silence. The drinks selection isn't brilliant (cheap plastic bottles of wine). Room ok but a little tired in places and accessed only by a very narrow and steep flight of stairs. Sorry but we wouldn't say that this hotel warrants the star rating.

Lovely little hotel situated in the city centre of York. Easy access to shop, resturaunts and bars. Staff were helpful and gave directions to nearest car park. We had the basement room which was fantastic, only downside is the internet access in the lower floors are very weak. Not ideal if you’re there working as the connection drops out a lot.

Good central location. Interesting and historic building. Friendly and helpful staff. Decent sized room with comfy bed. Good shower. Good value for money. Room could do with a bit of redecoration and furniture a bit tatty in parts.

This quirky and charming hotel is very well located near lots of shops and restaurants and the main sights. No restaurant or elevator in the hotel, or any common space, but the rooms are well appointed and there are good amenities (toiletries and tissues). We stayed in the "attic" area which had eaves and a sloping bathroom floor, plus a very narrow "servants" staircase to climb with our luggage. The room had character and everything we needed for a reasonable price. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

It's a 300 year old building that has It's charm. However, getting a suitcase up the narrow winding staircase is certainly challenging. No modern conveniences like elevators. The beds were very very hard. After some insistance, the staff gave me an extra duvet that I could use for padding. Most of the staff were great. We stayed late August/ early Sept and had to have the fan going 24/7. It would be boiling in the summer. Even though the location was excellent, I wouldn't stay there again.

Not Great - Noisy
Our room (no. 6) was directly adjacent to a beer garden on two sides which limited any feeling of privacy. The walls and ceilings are paper thin so we could hear conversations from rooms next to/above us until 3am, as well as someone being violenty sick at 9am on the Saturday of our stay. Room decor was rustic, bordering on uncared for in places where the paint or plaster was peeling/crumbling. Otherwise, location was great, staff were friendly.

Great location, comfortable bed. Issues - we booked a double room. It was up 4 lots of stairs no lift. It was a killer. The room was boiling hot and it was like that for the three nights we stayed. The window only opens a little bit. A fan was provided but that kept us a wake all night. I would suggest if your going to book don't go for double, go for a bigger room.

Unholy noise at 6am
The room was decent enough, the main issue was at 6am we were awoken to clanging and clattering in the courtyard right outside our room window. No idea what they were doing but absolutely not what you want when trying to enjoy a night away. There was also a lot of noise from the foyer above and the windows themselves didn't lock, with access possible from the outside we didn't feel completely secure leaving our luggage in the room.

We loved our stay here. It is very central but also where it is situated is quiet. The hotel has loads of history and character which we loved too. Our room had everyting that we needed, iron, hairdryer, Krups machine and also a kettle for making your own teas and coffees. Ethan who works on reception was really friendly and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
