History at it's finest

Loved staying in such an old building that is full of character! The location is perfect. It's a busy pub with a great heated court yard. The room was great, beds are super comfy, however it was very hot and it would have been good to have a bottle of water in the room. I was also woken at 6am by the hoovering of the pub downstairs (stayed on the 1st floor). Breakfast was good and the staff were all friendly. Would defiantly recommend if you're looking for somewhere magical to stay in York 😀

Stay in a part of History.

If you want an un-historic, un-genuine and un-quirky stay in a hotel only several years old,then there’s a bland chain-hotel somewhere for you. Otherwise,come to this hotel. Yes,it has several “wonky stairs” (quoting a previous reviewer )and yes,it has signs of age in places,and yes, it’s not laid out in geometric angles, but that’s the charm of this type of hotel. It’s hundreds of years old,for goodness sake!! Hundreds! You’re part of history! The staff were very welcoming,friendly and accommodating. We had a need for left luggage,late checkout,and an ill friend who needed some extra attention- No Problem. The pies in the restaurant are delicious. The breakfast was all we wanted. The hotel is an easy walk to the train or taxi rank. It’s also very convenient for Minster and the beautiful old streets nearby. I’ve visited the restaurant and now the hotel. All four of us visitors loved it. It’s a fantastic experience and reasonably priced.

Very very central

Check in nightmare. Bottom of stairs outside very very busy pub toilets on way to restaurant! Took ages lots of moving bags. Breakfast ok.... apart from they bring your hot food.... THEN ask if you want toast. Then go and make it. So if you wait everything is cold.

One of the worst places I've ever stayed! Arriving there and the location was great, a couple minutes walk from York Minster, but that's pretty much where the highlights end. Going in you have to go straight through the small pub, everything felt really cramped. As soon as we went in, we knew we wouldn't be staying long! The room we were in was right next to the courtyard, so we heard everyone outside drinking, smoking, listening to music up until 12am when the bell for last orders rang. Safe to say, we didn't get much sleep that night! Not to mention the room was absolutely boiling, far too hot! Breakfast was also bad, really awkward with everyone who stayed the night in one room, with the radio on really quiet. The food tasted as bad as it looked, I thought the salmon was out of date! And it was so salty. We checked out early (was originally supposed to be there for 2 nights) and found somewhere else - much better! And we couldn't leave quick enough. It nearly ruined our weekend away, but thankfully we were able to leave early. I definitely wouldn't recommend staying here. And most other reviews say the food is bad, and the prices of drinks too. The history is interesting and the only thing it has going for it, otherwise avoid at all costs!

What's not to love? It's right in the middle of everything. The view from the room was amazing. Right outside the hotel you're in the historic shopping area, with its tiny roads, quaint shops, and more haunted locations than you can count. And when you're done, have a pint downstair in the Guy Fawkes pub before heading up to bed. Just watch out for the wobbly floors and tilting stairs. But after almost 500 years what do you expect. All part of the charm. It was a brilliant stay

Super central location, charming rooms

Really central location, lovely and kind staff, and a special place to stay! (Old, slanty floors and wavy glass windows provide charm!) We loved how close the hotel was to all the attractions, and the history of the location made it feel extra special!

Disappointed

It wasn’t clear to me that this hotel is actually a pub. Our room was next to the beer garden. We had people eating/smoking right outside our bedroom window. Fortunately it was on,y Thursday night. I imagine it would be unbearably noisy on a Friday or Saturday.
