We were given Room 12 which is situated in the courtyard and we expected it to be a little noisy whilst the pub was open. We were not prepared for exactly how noisy it was we had to listen to loud conversations and people leaning up right next to our front door. We tried to drown out the noise with the TV but the signal was poor and we eventually gave up. I looked at getting another hotel as it was that bad,we realised it was not going to be a relaxing break and the price we paid over £360 for 2 nights I don't think it unreasonable to be able to relax in your room. The room was clean if a little tired a lick of paint is needed as are new tiles on the bathroom floor which are broken and sharp in places. The food in the restaurant was good and the inn itself is full of character but for the price I don't recommend the room that we stayed in.

History at it's finest

Loved staying in such an old building that is full of character! The location is perfect. It's a busy pub with a great heated court yard. The room was great, beds are super comfy, however it was very hot and it would have been good to have a bottle of water in the room. I was also woken at 6am by the hoovering of the pub downstairs (stayed on the 1st floor). Breakfast was good and the staff were all friendly. Would defiantly recommend if you're looking for somewhere magical to stay in York 😀

Stay in a part of History.

If you want an un-historic, un-genuine and un-quirky stay in a hotel only several years old,then there’s a bland chain-hotel somewhere for you. Otherwise,come to this hotel. Yes,it has several “wonky stairs” (quoting a previous reviewer )and yes,it has signs of age in places,and yes, it’s not laid out in geometric angles, but that’s the charm of this type of hotel. It’s hundreds of years old,for goodness sake!! Hundreds! You’re part of history! The staff were very welcoming,friendly and accommodating. We had a need for left luggage,late checkout,and an ill friend who needed some extra attention- No Problem. The pies in the restaurant are delicious. The breakfast was all we wanted. The hotel is an easy walk to the train or taxi rank. It’s also very convenient for Minster and the beautiful old streets nearby. I’ve visited the restaurant and now the hotel. All four of us visitors loved it. It’s a fantastic experience and reasonably priced.

Very very central

Check in nightmare. Bottom of stairs outside very very busy pub toilets on way to restaurant! Took ages lots of moving bags. Breakfast ok.... apart from they bring your hot food.... THEN ask if you want toast. Then go and make it. So if you wait everything is cold.

One of the worst places I've ever stayed! Arriving there and the location was great, a couple minutes walk from York Minster, but that's pretty much where the highlights end. Going in you have to go straight through the small pub, everything felt really cramped. As soon as we went in, we knew we wouldn't be staying long! The room we were in was right next to the courtyard, so we heard everyone outside drinking, smoking, listening to music up until 12am when the bell for last orders rang. Safe to say, we didn't get much sleep that night! Not to mention the room was absolutely boiling, far too hot! Breakfast was also bad, really awkward with everyone who stayed the night in one room, with the radio on really quiet. The food tasted as bad as it looked, I thought the salmon was out of date! And it was so salty. We checked out early (was originally supposed to be there for 2 nights) and found somewhere else - much better! And we couldn't leave quick enough. It nearly ruined our weekend away, but thankfully we were able to leave early. I definitely wouldn't recommend staying here. And most other reviews say the food is bad, and the prices of drinks too. The history is interesting and the only thing it has going for it, otherwise avoid at all costs!
