Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Pros: very friendly staff, comfortable room and bedding, very good for the couple of nights I spent there. Cons: walls are very thin. First night no issue, second night was unlucky enough to have a neighbour flush their toilet at 5am, which sounded like the whole building was coming down, and other neighbours making a ruckus at 6am. Also had some silverfish in the bathroom, but those are tough to avoid in the uk.

All the staff were amazing, friendly and welcoming. We spoke to Maddy a lot who was charming and effervescent. The pub was a lovely place to be at the end of a day of exploring. We had a wonderful room with everything we could want. Thanks for the fantastic stay.

The room was clean, very outdated and very overcrowded. The staff were friendly. Very overpriced for what you get. For £100 a night, breakfast should have been included.

Beth

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was in good condition but unfortunately due to the location of the room, all you hear during the night is people walking up and down the stairs and slamming the heavy doors. Also when someone ran a tap / flushed the toilet, there was a very loud noise of water gushing through pipework. This woke us both up numerous times throughout the night and with the bathroom door only closing properly by a latch on the inside, there was no way to drown this out. Wouldn't stay again unfortunately due to not being able to have more than 3 hours sleep in total.

Excellent location for the barbican (5 min walk) and only a 10-15 minute walk to the centre of York. Bathroom was a little dated but shower was hot and heating in room worked well! Main downside was one of the windows didn't shut properly so road noise was quite loud (room 7).
