Staff very friendly and helpful throughout makings things easy. Ideally palmed to see everything in York.being a bar/restaurant made getting mega and drink easy too at any time
Cute room in fab location. So easy to get around York.
Delicious breakfast. Room clean. Could do with a little TLC with paint on doors. A little noisy, but to be expected when staying in an old pub. Would stay again.

Had a lovely stay in York. Had attic room in the old hotel which was nicely presented. No aircon but had a fan. Good sized room and ensuite but no hooks or anywhere to hang towels/clothes. And no room for cosmetics. Good breakfasts. Good location.
Lovely room with extremely comfy bed and pillows. Delicious breakfast and friendly welcoming staff. Very quirky and we loved staying in an historic building inside the walls of York.
Great hotel, right in the heart of York, next to the Minister. Helpful friendly staff provide a great service, excellent breakfast and good selection of local hand pulled brews at the bar.
Wonderful atmosphere and very easy walking distance to all the main attractions.

The Fat Badger is ideally located close to the Minster just outside the busy area of the city.
Good points:
Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast and restaurant. Nice beer garden to the rear. Rooms cleaned every day and tea and coffee etc...replenished.
Bad points:
The room we had was very small, not like those shown in adverts.
The room was in need of a refresh, pealing paint, lack of cupboard space and drawers.
However the worst part of the stay was being woken all through the night by the sound of revellers emptying out from the pubs and from 4:30 am every morning the dustbins and glass bins being emptied into dust carts. Investing in some double glazing for the windows would of made this less of an issue.
The secret garden is a great addition, but can get very busy . If staying over get a room on a lower floor , we were on the top floor , 6 flights of creaky stairs . Breakfast was good .
The room was fine, and the breakfast good. It's well situated in the centre of the old city. The only issue for a 79 year old was our room was three floors up with no lift. The staff were very helpful carrying luggage for us.
