Over all very good. High marks for hospitality, cleanliness and value. Decor showing wear, thread bare carpets, door hardware, light fixtures etc. does not detract from the charm. Would definitely stay again.

Very nice I could not get a drink there I like vodka and bottled coke or Diet Coke but they only had draft coke and I don’t like it.I thought the breakfast was a bit steep it was 12.50 per person each day.But apart from that it was very nice .

The whole place was run down and not particularly clean. Tea and coffee was not topped up for the second day. Expensive for the quality of the room

Parking was easy in the car park, the accommodation was comfortable and Lucy was welcoming. Unfortunately, during our stay the chef was on holidays so we couldn’t eat downstairs, however we were recommended to walk 5 mins down the road to the Mason’s Arms pub, which was a wonderful quintessential English pub… Also, it was perfectly located for our walk to The Shambles and cathedral in the rain!

The highlight for us was the staff in the pub downstairs. Checking in, and walking me to the room, and friendly pub staff made us really enjoy this place. The street outside was a little rambunctious but that wasn’t the fault of the hotel just some young people living across the road.

Polite staff but run down appearance. Mattress dirty when inspecting it. Tired furniture with broken bedside table on one side and top of other was dirty. Old curtains which were heavy to shut and didn’t close properly. Staff were lovely but needs a good updating on interior and exterior

Great place for a short city break. Easy walk or short bus ride to city centre taking advantage of free parking. Room a little tired but spacious. Breakfast was excellent with good quality local ingredients. We visit York regularly and will definitely stay here again.
