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).

Friendly , made very welcome , food was delicious. Room was more than adequate. A bit of a walk to city centre but I think it felt longer as it was really really cold weather , would have been a nice walk otherwise.

I think this was our third year here, staying to attend a festival at the Fulford Arms, 5 mins walk away. Its convenient, has parking, is close to everything we need. The only negative is lack of hooks or shelves in the bathroom. We brought a small camping table with us this year. The bathroom is pretty big, a shelving unit and hooks would be easy to add...
