Decent room, decent location. Mould in the corner by the bed, over the window (windows are old so expected) and shower. Pub was quite loud until about 10 but wasn’t too bad.

One staff member. Was rude. And it wasnt untill the Sunday night that we realised he had been over charging me on my bottle of wine. It was only £15 and he was charging me £20. We complained to the ower she said she would look into it and the next morning (monday). She didnit even speak. Would i recommend NO.

A perfect location for the event I attended in York with great access to the Minister, Contemporary Art Gallery, De Grey Rooms, Bars and Restuarants. Didn't spend much time in the hotel, unfortunately (not even for breakfast). There was too much to do in the city!

This is a property with a few rooms above a busy tavern. Our room was equipped with a tub but no shower. The facilities were definitely not luxury by any means, but the location was a excellent and the staff warm and friendly.

Very close to all tourist Attractions parking just behind hotel but very expensive during the day. Free overnight from midnight until 8am. The bar has loud music at weekends which you will hear in your room so go to bed late or join in the fun at the bar.

The property was a lovely room very warm cosy. But the only issue there was no shower or handrail to help get in and out of a large bath. The shower would have been helpful. You need to realised that the was music at night in the pub below the rooms. The staff and breakfast were lovely.

No working shower in a tired room

The room was tired, dirty and didn’t have a working shower. The hotel manager NEVER responded to any of our messages or emails. Non existent customer service. The bar staff was extremely defensive when I complained about a non working shower. I would not recommend this establishment.

Avoid! It’s cheap for a reason! Didn’t end up stopping here due to the absolutely insane amount of noise coming from the bar below. It went on until the early hours of the morning, massively exceeding the closing time advertised online, as well as the legal quiet period of 11pm. Cut our trip short and drove the 3 hours home at 1am. There was nothing on the listing to say there might be noise, and we weren’t told about it when checking in. Tried to get a refund due to it not being as advertised and was refused. I’m glad it was so cheap because I’ve wasted £90 that I’m not getting back.

Very bad experience, when I checked in I was told their breakfast would start at 9. I said I would be leaving by 8:30 and I was told I could take my breakfast away at 8. Very disappointed I didn't get anything and the staff said there was none.

The property was excellently situated just around the corner from the Minster. The rooms are well presented with everything you need and staff are very helpful. The pub down stairs is well stocked and a nice environment to be in. Jane was amazing and very generous on our arrival to take our bags in early so we could make the most of our time in York. The breakfast offer is great and the food was lovely, well cooked and great products. The cost of the breakfast offer was well priced and so worth the money spent. I would highly recommend this place for your visit and would happily pay to stay here again.

Single Room - Comfortable

I stayed here for two nights on the wsy back from Scotland to London. I always love York. The room above the pub was comfortable and had all that was needed for the two nights. The check in was quick and was shown to my room. There is no view from the room which didnt bother me as only needed the bed. The shower was good and refreshing. The normal tea and coffee was supplied. It was surprisingly quiet given that it was above a pub.
