It was so convenient to be able to walk around the ciry without issues. Parking was a pain so travel light as you have walk about .5 miles to get to hotel on cobbled streets. It wasn't awful but just annoying. Dont expect anything else other than a room. Very limited amenities. It was quiet,and comfy.
This place is great if you don’t have limited mobility! Service of night staff excellent and helped bring our bags up to the third floor with small staircase—It is a historically old building with wood beams and a courtyard to walk through to get to the hotel from the street. No parking on site as in pedestrian area—that walk to car park was .6 miles away—again difficult with a cane.
It was close to everything in old town York—7 minute walk to The Shambles, 40 seconds to nearest Starbucks, and all the sights/shopping was within 5-7 minute walk.
The hotel has a cool theme of being in Judges’ court with gavels for coat hooks and each room named after a different judge. Cool stay—would have been great had I been in my 30s and not with a cane.
Lovely stay here for two nights. Very comfortable room. Comfortable bed and fresh linen. Bathroom and shower spacious. Gorgeous white large fluffy towels. Staff very helpful on places to eat and very welcoming Hotel is situated near all the attractions. Short walk from train station. Highly recommended.
Overall very comfortable stay but not sure my room met a 4* rating. Bedding was clean and good quality. Furniture could do with some TLC and room needed painting - lots of scuff marks on walls. Mattress was big and overhanging bedframe, just seemed a bit tatty. Bathroom was modern and well equipped. Molton Brown toiletries! Great big shower but was slippy when wet and fan was very noisy and went on for ages after light switched off. Could also hear fan and person / tv in next room.
Rm 16 was on the top floor, stairs were narrow but to be expected in this age of building. Room was very warm but again expected since on top floor.
Good value for what i paid, would definitely stay again but a little bit of love would elevate the experience. Staff were efficient and pleasant.
Warm and welcoming. Very central. We dropped our bags in before check in. We went out for breakfast and left our bags at reception while we wandered around. The room was very spacious and comfortable. It was nice and quiet. The shower was good
Lovely quiet hotel set back from the Main Street with all the shops, restaurants and train station all within walking distance. We stayed here for a wedding and it was the perfect location and friendly staff.
It was such a convenient and lovely hotel. Feels like staying with relatives outside the room. Quite historic and cozy. The upstairs room was modern and comfortable. The shower and bathroom newly upgraded. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I will recommend this hotel to friends
Our room was lower ground so very dark and claustrophobic. A notice in the room said The window had to be left open for ventilation, so the heating came on which seemed mad. The room would have been cold without heat but to let it drift out of the window seemed pointless.
Very clean and amenities good.
BUT
Woken at 6:30 am by a delivery to the sports bar next door. Beer barrels being unloaded and moved around the courtyard sounded like the ceiling was coming down ! As we were below ground level the noise and vibration was pretty bad !!!
We did speak to a member of staff who said other guests had complained but the bar refuses to change their delivery times.
A great find, right in the middle of everything, lots of shops and pubs. There are very steep and narrow stairs so be prepared for that but the rooms were nice, comfortable and clean.
Me and the wife stayed here for her graduation and we loved it, the building is decorated with the history of the building in mind, bed is extremely comfy, location is in walking distance for everything, there’s no parking but Marygate is only a ten minute walk, we were woken at 6:30am due to people throwing kegs outside but that couldn’t be helped, overall we would stay again, we loved it.

secure entry and secluded area as well as friendly, helpful staff. Would stay again.
OMG. I think this hotel is my very favorite of all the hotels I’ve ever stayed at in my entire life! The location could NOT be better! In the center of everything I wanted to see! The hotel/decor are AMAZING. Such a comfortable bed and perfect bathroom. The only thing that could make it better would be a mini fridge. Don’t hesitate…book it…it’s awesome!
The majority of the staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel is well situated for exploring York (if you dont mind the 10 minute walk from the car park with your bags). Unfortunately the hotel was let down by the receptionist on arrival who was rude and unwelcoming. She was very blunt and curtly told that we couldn't check in as none of the rooms were ready and we couldn't access ours until well after 3pm, despite check-in being at 3pm. When we asked if we could leave our bags at reception we weren't offered any assistance, it felt like we were putting the receptionist out - we awkwardly had to stack them behind her while she sat there in silence. The drinks selection isn't brilliant (cheap plastic bottles of wine). Room ok but a little tired in places and accessed only by a very narrow and steep flight of stairs. Sorry but we wouldn't say that this hotel warrants the star rating.
