Loved the room (#6). Very comfortable. Staff lovely. But promo photo doesn’t represent truly the access to its frontage which is via a dark jigger from the main high street. It’s also tricky to find the entry point off the main road - but you get there in the end!

Great place and location

The location is really cool and in the right area for the visit. This is a historical site, so not the most up to date amenities. No room service or food. No air conditioning and it was fairly hot while we were there.

Absolutely unique property with great history. In the heat of York, walkable to all sites and great pubs. Not for you if looking for modern hotel, but great is you don’t mind a few ghosts. Excellent bedroom, bed and modern bathroom; average size with reasonable storage space. Fun stay.

Quirky hotel in a perfect location.

This is a lovely boutique hotel in the centre of the city. Perfect location for shopping, theatres and restaurants. Its ideal if you are travelling by train or public transport but if going by car there is obviously no parking. We parked on the Marygate park but it was £22.50 for about 20 hrs which would be expensive if you were to stay a few days. There is no restaurant but tea and coffee making facilities provided and plenty of eating places close by. You can also get drinks delivered to the room. The rooms are large and stylish and clean.

This is a charming property. Our room was in the lower level with a low, vaulted brick ceiling which was fine for us but would properly be challenging for anyone who is tall. As well, because it was in the lower level, it was a little musty smelling and wifi access was spotty at best. We still thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the location in York is great.

No parking near

Had some charm. Would not stay again due to no parking and having to cart bags a mile from the closest car park. Also steep stairs to cart bags up
