I was super impressed with this hotel. It couldn’t have been more central. I was a bit cobwebby but with it being high ceiling and an old building, it’s to be expected. The room was cosy and breakfast was stunning. Thank you, would def stay here again!

The hotel is in an amazing location in York, close to Yorkminister cathedral and in the midst of the old city. The staff are friendly and helpful. We were pleased to get early check-in as our room was ready. The breakfast is excellent with lots of choice. Be aware that the hotel does not have air conditioning - that was the only downside for us.

Fantastic central location. Friendly, helpful staff and we were able to check in early. Although the room was small it was perfectly adequate for our needs. Complimentary breakfast was delicious. The bed was very comfortable as well. Highly recommended.

This historic hotel was really lovely. We were surprised with how spacious the room was. The location is perfect- an easy walk from the train station and right in the middle of town.

Lovely little hotel
A lovely little hotel with a lot of character, in the heart of the old city, just a couple of minutes' walk from York Minster. The staff were pleasant, the room was charming, and the breakfast was delicious.

Very good staff
Staff extremely helpful. The building is very old and therefore needs a lot of attention, there appears to have been efforts to keep it in hand.

Central location
This was more Bed & Breakfast than hotel and was an ideal location for a one night stay in York. Easy to access from the Shambles area. I should have done more checking however as no car parking outside hotel and had to book at local car park 5 mins walk away. The hotel room was a small double and a little small for a couple. Would have been a perfect room for a single person. Breakfast was served downstairs in the Forest bar and was a great start to the day
