The staff were amazing! Even though the building was old, I didn't mind as it felt authentic and provided a nice town experience. Everything was great, and the staff were very polite. The breakfast was excellent, and there was a fantastic live music experience!

Overall, a good stay, the property being within easy walking distance from the train station and the city centre. However, the mattress on the bed was probably quite old as it sank in the middle. We slept ok but it may not be too comfortable for heavy set people.

A nice break away for a few days in York. The hotel is very central right next to Bootham Bar. Room large, cleans and staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and large portions. The only problem was no parking on site and having to park at a nearby carpark cost £34 per day !!

This hotel is in a perfect spot just out of York as to be quiet but close enough to walk into York. It has a relaxed friendly feel with it and nothing is to much trouble for the staff, I would not hesitate to recommend it and will definitely stay there again when we next ho to York.

Very nice owners, nice room. I was too cold the first night but they fixed it for the rest of my stay. Maybe a bit expensive, all considered, but overall a positive experience

No lift.. 3 flights of stairs… restaurant /pub was closed due to change in tenant. Local parking was 38 pound per day! and extremely noisy outside until well after midnight and started again at 6 am due to traffic.

Should have on the website that they have music in the pub that you can hear in the rooms.
Other than the noise we had a good experience. People were very friendly.
