Good location, room needs some upgrading!

Hotel is rather central just outside the city walls, good location, pub is a typical old town pub, rooms are a bit dated and need a facelift and some TLC but cant complain about the price paid.

Average stay

The location was Ok, quite close to the centre. Staff very friendly but lacking knowledge of simple facts like how to synchronise the TV as it didn't work when we checked in. Bed was quite comfy and room was quiet, considering we were on top of the pub and by the main road. Cleanliness very poor, the carpet was incredibly dirty and the brush toilet holder was in really poor condition, all rusty. This cost less than £5 to replace it Overall, if you are in a budget, the place is OK but it could certainly be improved by owners I can't comment on food and drinks as we didn't consume anything. There are amazing places in York centre where to have meals and drinks

Great stay

Great location, pleasant walk into York from the hotel, good breakfast but you need to order it the night before. We spent three nights there, the bar was pleasant for drinks after walking back from York centre.

A nice reasonably priced bed for the night

I was looking for a reasonably priced place for an overnight stay for a work trip without spending over £100.00 on some of the "cheep hotel chains rooms". This little nugget was just what was needed, a nice comfy bed, ease of access, polite and friendly staff. When I asked for suggestions on where to eat as their kitchen was closed and it was spot on!

Great if you like to stay in a place with character, history and friendly staff, the payoff is its decor is a little dated as were the shower facilities. Value for money was goods with free parking, well positioned to walk into the City centre along the river path. We enjoyed our stay.
