Fantastic quirky room the bed had quite a slope to it but loved the room slight grumble the shower was not over hot but perfectly acceptable. The breakfast was really good both mornings, the pub itself was very popular so not a place for a quiet drink but we will definitely go back

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Not the quietest hotel but shortly after 11 pm, it became quiet enough to sleep. One very old piece of furniture (armoire) in our room had its door fall off after it was opened, hanging on by a very thin nail.

Room was beautiful and well decorated for the age of the building. We were on the top floor so be prepared for wonky stairs. Main floor is lively with patrons but noise did not carry - was loud outside with music til 11pm and guests dining but we had our window open to be fair and we did not mind it at all. Bed was comfortable and staff was very helpful - great location beside York Minster and walkability score excellent. Highly recommend!

Liked: Staff & service
Very historical and quaint with central access to tourist areas. Wi-fi signal was very poor and intermittent in the room which was also tired and poorly maintained. Great staff, location, historical quirkiness, but property undergoing scaffolded exterior maintenance as was nearby buildings allowed for early morning workman wake up calls! Good food, drinks, outdoor indoor ambience however, residence? Not so much.

Not For Me

The pictures of the room were adorable. I was excited to stay in such a historic and quaint place. But pictures cannot fully encapsulate the experience. I would not stay here again! I should have listened to some of the reviews warning of the uneven floors, crooked stairs, noisy chandelier, and smelly room. I felt like I was in a haunted house.

This is what you hope for when you stay at a pub - history, beautiful location, walking distance to everything, comfortable bed, all the usual mod cons and a delicious breakfast. Of course, for anyone not familiar with staying in a pub, I want to highlight that it closes at 11pm. You will absolutely hear the noise from the pub before then, but the staff close up very efficiently and you can almost guarantee quiet from 11:10pm (which is rather rare and impressive!) The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the location and history cannot be beat - who wouldn't want to stay where a historical figure was born? And to be literally next to the Minster is an amazing bonus. Highly recommend for those comfortable with the late nights, and as you are there, you might as well join them until closing.

A wonderful historic experience

Wonderful stay, great City location, friendly staff, lovely room, very tastefully laid out considering the period of the building. Stay here if you want to enjoy a historic experience. The bed was so comfy and the pillows were like sleeping on clouds. Lots of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits in the room, can't fault the stay, look forward to staying here again.

You won't get a better location for a stay in York. Overlooks York Minster and is on the very edge of York City centre. The accommodation itself is very York, with plenty of room and exceptional value for money. I've stayed at a few places in York, including The Grand and when I return I'll be coming back here.
