Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Google listing says it’s five star.
The sign outside reception says it’s four star.
It doesn’t measure up.
We found the staff to be really helpful. The location is also excellent. The building oozes charm and character making you feel sympathetic to any shortfall.
However, there is no bar.
There is no food service.
There were no glasses in the room or bathroom.
There was no bottled water.
We arrived to find no toiletries in the bathroom. So we tried to call reception on the bedside phone for them to resolve. The phone didn’t work. Once we returned to reception and told of the toiletries issue it was quickly resolved. The room is in need of a deep clean, the phone was dusty, the sills and windows dusty, the bathroom had flaking paintwork. The room felt neglected and points raised earlier questions any star rating with basics and little touches you expect in a quality hotel sadly lacking. You could order drinks to your room but we felt the room didn’t deserve more time than necessary. Disappointed is my summary.
Split in shower tray which must leak below and toilet looks like it may fall off the wall. Can hear person in adjacent room doing a zip up and people moving beer kegs and wheelie bins at 5am.
Disappointing stay, however the location to central York is good.

I liked the location. Room was cold, heater was inadequate.
Awesome location! You feel like you have your own secret passage to home in the middle of everything! All the major sights of York are easily walkable. Weirdly, Expedia didn’t give us a street number which made it hard for us and our taxi driver to find.
The room was very spacious, with everything we needed. The shower was awesome. We were greeted warmly and appreciated being able to leave our bags for a while after we checked out.
Nestled in a busy shopping district this beautiful old hotel was a delight to visit. Walking distance to all you might want to see while secluded at the same time.
It’s my second stay at this hotel for an overnight at York. It’s such a small, cozy hotel. Even when having to carry my luggage up the stairs, still worth it.
We stayed here in 2022 and loved the room we stayed in.
We were really keen to try our their biggest room with a rolltop bath, and so booked a year in advance. It was well worth the wait!
Gorgeous room, amazing facilities in the room, and wonderfully warm staff!
The only thing that could be added is some sort of little shelf in the shower for toiletries. I had no issues leaving my toiletries on the ground, but i appreciate others may not be able to do this during their shower.
Pretty flawless yet again, better even! We can't wait to come back and stay here again whenever that is!
