Breakfast was minimal regarding choice. Staff friendly. Room was very worn but had everything we needed. Sachet tea, coffee and hot chocolate drinks and biscuits weren't replenished on 2nd day of our stay, but I'm sure if we asked for them we could have gotten some more.

The room we stayed in was a double in the courtyard. It suited me and my husband as only for 2 nights, bed was comfy and seemed bigger than a double that was advertised. Bathroom is small, shower was excellent, and you don't need to bring soap, shower gel or shamphoo as small bottles are provided. Complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits, which is always nice. Staff are lovely and helpful, breakfast is good. Well worth a visit x

Not the best welcome when we arrived. Breakfast better on 2nd day, ladies serving breakfast were lovely and friendly.
Bathroom left a lot to be desired there was black mould on the walls, ceiling and shower. The toilet seat was loose and there were cracks in the porcelain. The bedroom curtains were mouldy and the secondary glazing was held open by a wooden block.
Nice clean and comfy bed room of a good size.

Room was clean, carpet starting to show its age.
The only negative was size, it was TINY. There was nowhere in the room to put suitcases except on floor and even then, space so small, stepping over/around it constantly. Would have been ok for one person, but awfully cramped for two of us.

The bathroom was damp, mouldy and smelly. The WC was broken and was constantly running, which meant that the in line macerator grinder noisily ran every 20 seconds (I timed it) keeping me awake all night. The double glazing was held open by a lump of wood, meaning I could not shut out the traffic noise. This was a very disappointing stay

Travel for business, average 3 hotel night stays a week, this was reasonable price for location £125 for Tuesday night.

Stayed in WBC room, good sized and comfortable.

Booked on the premises Breakfast is served 7.30-9:30 according to website, however got there and told only served 9-9:30 to account for walk ins from 10am!

Luckily the pub has nothing on Tuesday night, so was advised of an 11pm close, however the extremely loud music continued on after this, making it an extremely restless night for an early start for work the next day. Thankfully, as soon as i contacted the bar manager/landlady the music was turned off.

The smart tv signal isnt very good so channels kept cutting out, but if you are yravelling for pleasure the real advantage is not needing the TV as the walking distance location to everything would cater for being out of the room more.

Wouldn't return if travelling for business, but would consider for leisure due to location and helpfullness/friendliness of staff!

We can't fault this hotel. Staff are amazing, very helpful with recommendations on places to see. Next visit to York I'll be booking here.

Parking isn't the easiest to find, we had to ring the hotel. The member of staff gave brilliant directions and even offered to stand on the street if needed.

The staff were lovely generally with the exception of the person I met on the last day who was downright hostile . They did a sandwich for me to take away in day one which was lovey. The WiFi didn’t work which was disappointing. I was advised to collect a router in my return but I feel this should have been addressed. I wasn’t great about staying in a room used for pets but it is what it is . The room was ok, I slept well but the shower was very slow which may not be in the control of the owners .

Room OK, room 8, quiet in annex at rear of building. Comfortable bed and good night's sleep. Reception friendly, but bar closed when I returned, despite being told it would be open.

Mediocre breakfast, unfriendly service. Only rubbish instant coffee and no vegetarian option for full breakfast. Walk-ins have between 09:00 and 12:00, whilst hotel guests only have between 09:00 and 09:30. I presume this is to facilitate the unreasonably early checkout time of 10:00.

Poor value for what I paid, but not worth a formal complaint. I wouldn't stay here again.
