A clean room with a comfortable bed, extra pillows in closet, ample space, friendly/ helpful reception and reliable wifi. My only critique is the room could use a fresh coat of paint.

When we first arrived, I thought "oh, no". Lobby is dark, entire place is tucked away, no A/C, and no lift. We had to haul our luggage up 37 steps of a NARROW, spiral staircase. Our room was clean and adequate, and actually had the biggest, nicest, newest shower of anyplace we've stayed so far. (4th hotel of this trip) There was a fan in the room, and they brought a second one upon our request. I'll have to admit, that even in August, with the window open and the fans, we were COMPLETELY comfortable and slept well. The location, right in the city center is very convenient. So, despite my initial skepticism, this hotel was completely satisfactory and a good value.

The location was excellent and unique, the room was well furnished and charming- however the person that checked us in was rude and we felt very unwelcome. The hotel runs hot..no A/C so whilst they provided a fan the room was hot and stuffy. There was noisy airvent in the bathroom that refused to shut off making for a very noisy stay. They had warned us of construction noise in the morning so we had expected that. The email communications were more friendly than the staff.

Absolute disgrace to Yorks other wonderful hotels !! Dated, dirty, do not address complaints, and request for owner contact. Appeared to be black mould ariynd window- gealth hazard!! Needs to close and total refurbishment. (Full review on trip advisor) I think Expedia shiukd remive this hotel from its site - I frequently book hiteks via Expedia and bever had a bad experience, but thus hitel should not be promoted by Expedia as it reflects badly on them. Expedia dud iffer full refund if hitel agreed with room state - byt tgey were not going to do this - obviously inly interested in taking your money and not providing even a basic clean entry level hotel. Extremely disappointing and frustrating experience- spend your money at one if the many lovely York hotels

Location was great, also the theme of the hotel with the artwork on the walls in the room was very nice, our room was at the front of the hotel room 8 and it was quite loud with the windows open, especially when the bin men came and delivery of beer kegs to other properties, the fan in the room was a nice touch as it was quite warm

Parking is approximately 10-12 minutes away and £25 for 24 hour stay. Staff were really nice and helpful. As the building is the old court, the windows are different sizes and the blinds difficult to block out daylight. No air conditioning. Nice molton brown products in bathroom

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.

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.
