Horrible basement room that stank of drains and sewage to the point that we could not stay there over night. Very unfriendly staff who did not deal with our issue well. Disgusting establishment and would warn anyone not to stay there. Awful experience.

For a 4 star hotel we would have expected a safe and fridge in the room, there was also no toilet brush in our bathroom and as the room wasn't cleaned during our 2 night stay (unsure why not) this was disappointing. There was a large residue of dust on the top of the bathroom mirrors. It was not the fault of the hotel but the loud noise from the courtyard at 7am from a delivery of beer barrels both mornings was very disruptive as our room overlooked the courtyard. The location of the hotel was great.

Located in a great place right near loads of shops and restaurants.

Room was lovely and all the staff very pleasant and helpful. Would definately stay again.

15 minute walk from the station. Cant be faulted on location. In the middle of the shopping area with plenty of food establishments right outside. Yet not too busy. Pedestrianised during the day. It was easy to find everything within 5 minutes walk. The cathedral, the Barbican, The Shambles etc.

The hotel is lovely as are the staff and the rooms, great amenities in the room. Couldn’t ask for a better location either. The only issue for us which unfortunately will make us not return was the walls are paper thin, we could hear everything which is such a shame

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!

Lovely, quirky hotel. Staff are lovely. We stayed in a basement room, it was clean and had all the amenities you need. Bed was too hard for me personally. And was noisy from people above. Not the hotels fault. Perfect location, close to everything and 5 mins walk from rail station. Would stat again.

Good enough little hotel

Great for shops and right in the centre. No parking but can park close by or get a taxi from station and a short walk as I its pedestrianised through the daytime. Close to pubs and eateries. The entrance can easily be missed as it’s a little archway into the courtyard. Clean enough and has everything we wanted for a one night stay. No food in this hotel but it’s surrounded by places to go

Nice hotel in the centre of York

Nice old hotel in city centre, in an area filled with shops, pubs, and restaurants. Near the Minster and the wall, and other interesting sites. Tricky to find the hotel, because you have to go through a short "tunnel" from the main street to get to the Court. Staff members were friendly. There is no restaurant, and hence no breakfast (as clearly advertised). However, there are plenty of places nearby for breakfast and other meals. The area was a bit noisy, especially in the morning.
