Was lovely stay in a very comfortable bed. The breakfast was nice with cereals, toast and tea plus of choice of cooked options. The only draw back was the lack of evening food but there were plenty of restaurants close by.

The staff were amazing, nothing to much trouble. There was a fan in the room which was really useful in the heatwave. Breakfast was amazing and an excellent selection. Just outside the city walls, but close enough to walk right to all the attractions. Cant wait to return, especially for Tuesday quiz night.

Stayed in a twin room, it wasn't a large room but it was ideal for the 2 nights we stayed. Beds were comfy and we slept well.The breakfast was really good and the quality of the food was excellent. They don't do any other meals than breakfast but the hotel is in a good location just a 10 to 15 minutes walk into the shambles area if York. They also have a private car park.

Easy to find with my Google maps , nice walk there, passing plenty of interesting shops, restaurants and close to the Barbican theatre too. Staff were very friendly, showed me to my room. It was ideal for me, my single room. it has a TV, coffee and tea making facilities ( biscuits too) , an iron, a fan as well. Central heating in my room worked great. if you like real ale, it's definitely the pub to stay, plus a few other real ale pubs next door and across the road... just brilliant.
Full English Breakfast, plus there was cereal, yoghurt,fruit and juice.
An upcoming event here.
My single bedroom with ensuite shower/ toilet. It was ideal for me.

The room was dusty and didn’t feel properly cleaned. My room was right by the street and the windows did not block any of the noise from the passing cars despite being closed. It said here that they offer luggage storage, so I brought my suitcase over around 12, expecting to be able to store it there until check-in, but the place is fully closed until 3.

Friendly staff, room cleaned daily with fresh towels and toilet paper. Free breakfast included. Seven rooms and only 4 ish parking bays on the property, however there is a street nearby without yellow lines. Great place for a short stay.

4/10 Poor

Oldukça eskiydi, dar merdiven ve koridorlardan geçiliyordu. Oda çok basık ve küçüktü. Duş ve lavaboda dar ve küçüktü. Otoparkı var ve anahtar almaları gerekiyor. Çünkü ardı sıra park yapılıyor. Önerebileceğim bir otel değil, aynı fiyata daha iyi bir yerde kalınabilir

Wrong Room

Unfortunately we were given a twin room, with two separate beds despite booking a double bed. The TV was tiny and in a far off corner, so pretty much pointless even being there. The staff were often difficult to find and were unhelpful with our issues with the room. The only redeemable quality about our stay was the breakfast, which was quite nice, with a wide selection of foods on offer.
