This is a property with a few rooms above a busy tavern. Our room was equipped with a tub but no shower. The facilities were definitely not luxury by any means, but the location was a excellent and the staff warm and friendly.

The property was a lovely room very warm cosy. But the only issue there was no shower or handrail to help get in and out of a large bath. The shower would have been helpful. You need to realised that the was music at night in the pub below the rooms. The staff and breakfast were lovely.

One staff member. Was rude. And it wasnt untill the Sunday night that we realised he had been over charging me on my bottle of wine. It was only £15 and he was charging me £20. We complained to the ower she said she would look into it and the next morning (monday). She didnit even speak. Would i recommend NO.

The property was excellently situated just around the corner from the Minster. The rooms are well presented with everything you need and staff are very helpful. The pub down stairs is well stocked and a nice environment to be in. Jane was amazing and very generous on our arrival to take our bags in early so we could make the most of our time in York. The breakfast offer is great and the food was lovely, well cooked and great products. The cost of the breakfast offer was well priced and so worth the money spent. I would highly recommend this place for your visit and would happily pay to stay here again.

Single Room - Comfortable

I stayed here for two nights on the wsy back from Scotland to London. I always love York. The room above the pub was comfortable and had all that was needed for the two nights. The check in was quick and was shown to my room. There is no view from the room which didnt bother me as only needed the bed. The shower was good and refreshing. The normal tea and coffee was supplied. It was surprisingly quiet given that it was above a pub.

Comfortable room above local pub

Neat, clean, and comfortable room above a local pub. Thought it would be noisy, but surprisingly not. Very centrally located and short walk from the station and to the Minster/old city etc.

You can certainly hear the bar below if on the first floor. The Kararoke was fine the first night but the band was better the second. Watch the cab drivers first one took me on a 20£ taxi ride from the train station. Other cabs to and from were less then 10£

Great and friendly service. I was able to check in early. Room was small but clean and well appointed. It is an old building so access is narrow and a bit tricky but was fine for me. Overall was fine for me for one night.

Avoid! It’s cheap for a reason! Didn’t end up stopping here due to the absolutely insane amount of noise coming from the bar below. It went on until the early hours of the morning, massively exceeding the closing time advertised online, as well as the legal quiet period of 11pm. Cut our trip short and drove the 3 hours home at 1am. There was nothing on the listing to say there might be noise, and we weren’t told about it when checking in. Tried to get a refund due to it not being as advertised and was refused. I’m glad it was so cheap because I’ve wasted £90 that I’m not getting back.

The room was fine, but the live music was so loud that the floors were vibrating beneath my feet when two floors up. Thankfully it stopped by midnight, but it was still disruptive. It also would’ve been nice if they could hold luggage for a bit after checkout instead of having to pay extra to store it somewhere down the street.

Overall, a fantastic City centre location and lovely staff. I stayed in the York Theatre room which meant I could hear all of the traffic outside (busy road) - it didn’t affect my stay as I live in a city and am used to noise but perhaps not for those who want a quiet location The reason for my overall score of 4 is that the WiFi didn’t work for the entirety of my two-night stay. This had a direct knock-on impact on the work I was meaning to do during my visit. The hotel team did everything they could to try and resolve the situation, and there was the option of BT WiFi (around £7-8 per day) if the hotel WiFi is down, but it was a niggle.

Average

The room was clean. The reason I rated it average is because of the service. It was basically non-existent. We had to find someone at the bar to check us in. This person offered no welcome or friendly advice with parking or assistance in getting our luggage up the flights of stairs. No lifts. Check out was the same experience. No hospitality, not asked how our stay was or thank you for choosing them.

A lovely pub in the centre of York with rooms and a pay and display carpark behind it. I've stayed here before and will always stay here whenever I visit York.
