Fabulous

We've been staying here for 24 years Amazing welcome always from Rose, Shuni,Danny and staff. The rooms are beautiful, spotless and comfortable. It's a lovely cosy pub too with a fantastic beer garden. All the benefit of staying at a pub without any noise, whatsoever, in any of the rooms...we've stayed in them all over the years! Minutes from the city centre, free parking and the best breakfast in York!

We stayed at this hotel for one night. It's close to the York Minster and easily accessible from the train station. The breakfast was fantastic with many choices, but it started late start from 9am. The hotel is above the Exhibition Bar with a nice atmosphere. You can go down for a drink at night. The only reason for 4 stars is that the bed is too soft, as I felt it would collapse while sitting on it.
