Guest Reviews

• Tanawan (9/5): - Location and very helpful staff.Good breakfast. Shower cubicle.
• Sofa._.people (7/5): Friendly staff, in a very central location. - Great city centre location. Bathroom was a bit on the small side, but it is an old building so appreciate that the size matches the building layout.
• Debbie (10/5): - Perfect stay, hotel was recommended by friends after they had breakfast. Lovely stay thank you Na
• Karl (7/5): -
• Rhyanna (9/5): A lovely stay and I would stay again! - I loved the bath it was a lovely addition to the room. The hotel was close to all the shops and was very clean. There is nothing I disliked.
• Vicky (10/5): - Perfect location perfect stay will book again :)
• Lee (10/5): Excellent hotel with friendly staff - Excellent breakfast. The hotel is right in the middle of York so is ideal for shopping in The Shambles
• Vivien (10/5): -
• Keeley (9/5): Pleasant and relaxing stay - Location fab. Only 10 mins walk from station. Both breakfast and dinner was lovely. Window didn’t open in the room
• Tamsin (10/5): The staff, the ethos, the food….excellent! - It had so many fabulous features, original beams, etc. really quirky. There wasn’t a lift, but the stairs weren’t too bad.
• Joy (6/5): Great Location - You couldn't ask for a better location, staff lovely and breakfast excellent Didn't like the room, it was small which wasn't a problem for 2 nights,however the window was all frosted and you couldn't see outside. It felt very claustrophobic, it was very warm as no windows opened, even in the bathroom. We did have a fan. The room wasn't serviced after the first night. We did tell the girl on reception and asked if could we have some milk, but still none when we got back,had to go and ask again. The en suite was just not practical, no shelf to put our toiletries etc on, no room on the sink, no towel rail they had to go on the floor or toilet when closed. The worst was nowhere to put the shampoo/ shower gel in the shower. All these things would greatly improve the stay
• Linda (8/5): I would give it another chance - Location staff Breakfast was not good - don’t know why as everyone else’s looked good but mine had either been Sat a long tome and cooked twice
• Darren (10/5): -
• MK und AB (9/5): - Spitzenlage direkt beim York Minster, gute Betten, gutes Frühstück, nettes Personal
• Sarah (9/5): -
• Michael (8/5): -
• Howard (9/5): -
• Stephanie (10/5): Amazing, would recommend! - The bedrooms were gorgeous and so cosy! Everything was clean and tidy. In the room there was a cute book detailing everything and gave great suggestions on what to do during our stay! For the price, we got breakfast included which was amazing! Could not recommend this place enough. We also had such a lovely receptionist and helped us with everything :) The only negative was the room was slightly hot but the staff provided us with a fan. It was a hot day so nothing to do with the actual property!
• Jan (10/5): Fantastic hotel in a great location.. highly recommend. - Fantastic stay in a beautiful hotel with so much character in the very centre of York. Great location… added benefit of a restaurant and bar downstairs. Clean, great bed and bedding for a good nights gets sleep. Lovely staff … thankyou for a great stay. Nothing… everything Just brilliant!!
• Andrew (8/5): -
• Türker (7/5): - Konumu ve odaları Masaların temizliği
• Maria Laura (7/5): - La.ubicacion La habitación muy chica y no hay suficientes toma corriente. En el baño no habia ninguno
• yasmin (6/5): Over all we really enjoyed our stay in York - I had the full Yorkshire breakfast on the first day and it was just ok but on the second day I had the granola and that was fabulous and my husband had a very good eggs benedict We knew our room was going to be small but it could have had some hooks and a shelf in the bathroom as there was no room at all for toiletries. It's no fault of the hotel but the room was very warm so needed to have window open all night. So just be aware that the hotel is central which is great for getting around but if you like a bit of quiet you will be kept awake with revellers until the early hours and then the bin men arrive and then the bells 🔔. So no sleep really.

• Helen (10/5): Perfect birthday weekend in the heart of York - Amazing location in the heart of York.. our room looked out onto the minister. Loved our quirky room (6)with its beautiful spacious bathroom which you entered through a safe door!! Bedside tables were vintage safes too! Our elderly dog was welcomed with his own bed, feeding bowl and treats and a welcome letter with his name on!! Breakfast choice was amazing and cooked to perfection in the cosy restaurant! Friendly and efficient staff too! Our daughter’s room (14)too was at the top with feature beams.. molten brown complimentary products and tea,coffee and biscuits! Lots of attention to detail Absolutely nothing not to like!
• Stacey (8/5): Great stay but slightly disappointed in the room - Very central, very clean and staff very friendly Bedroom extremely small, we didn’t choose a small double , went for standard but after seeing this I can’t imagine what a small double would be like. No cheer in the room, nowhere to put anything except on the floor. Bathroom really narrow and small and hard to move around in
• Carole (10/5): -
• Chapman (10/5): Will definitely be back - Stunning, so cosy and in a great location. The ladies that were on staff were friendly and chatty. Comfortable bed, clean and tidy and the bath in the bedroom was a gorgeous little luxury. Loved it all.
• Guiomar (10/5): Cozy and lovely - Repetiría sin duda, el trato del personal fué muy amable,m el desayuno estaba riquisimo y las vistas desde nuestra habitación eran preciosas. Nada
• jenny (10/5): perfect hotel in the heart of York with great food and staff. - Great hotel in the heart of York. food was so good, both dinner and a breakfast to die for! Room was quirky but served our needs perfectly. Staff go above and beyond and are so friendly. nothing
• Salerno (10/5): -
• Karen (9/5): Ideal in every way. - This is the second time we have stayed. Excellent location, friendly staff and the breakfast was about the best we have experienced. Nothing
• Lorne (10/5): -
• Micha (9/5): -
• Corinne (7/5): Over priced for a pokey room - food was good though - Central location Room was tiny, bed was tiny, I’m only 5ft 5 and it was too short for me ! We couldn’t open windows - the blinds didn’t fit so bright sun shining through the windows, room boiling hot and very noisy as above the kitchen I think
• Jeffrey (8/5): Relaxing and enjoyable. - Lots of period charm, great location, very friendly staff. Rooms are small - fine for one occupant, a bit tight for two.
• Graeme (9/5): Great value central location hotel - Quirky central hotel with nice touches Great breakfast. The small doubles are very small and maybe not suitable for taller or bigger people. We knew this before our visit so was not an issue
• Helen (9/5): Lovely boutique hotel, great location - Hotel was clean, comfortable, staff friendly and food excellent. We had full english breakfast each morning which was lovely and eat there one evening and the steak was delicious. Just some minor issues with closing a window but the hotel did state that they were still carrying out renovations. We could hear noise from the kitchen below us which was load very early one morning.
• Tim (8/5): Great stay in York - Great location and helpful staff Nothing
• Fry (10/5): This was a lovely experience, next to historic buildings, and fabulous restaurant. - Loved the location, and the breakfasts and other meals were fabulous! The staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. Our shower was very small, but it worked and for an historic building, it was fine.
• Sandra (10/5): - We had a small issue with our room on arrival but it was quickly rectified . We stayed in a lovely,clean room and an amazing breakfast. All the staff were lovely and welcoming
• Dr. Juergen (9/5): Traumhafter Aufenthalt in York - Lage direkt in der Altstadt, nur 200m von Shambles entfernt. -
• Tanya (8/5): Overall lovely stay - Loved the location and breakfast included, good menu choice and staff were super helpful Toilet shower had a bad drainage smell but we just kept door closed
• Jennifer (10/5): - Everything! Location, room and service were great! The breakfast is FABULOUS! Liked it all!
• Barry (9/5): Great location, friendly and helpful staff. - Location and staff Room was a bit too small and on the top floor
• James (10/5): -
• Jude (8/5): fantastic place with warm and welcoming staff - the staff were so accommodating and friendly and the room was in a fantastic location. We also really enjoyed the breakfasts and were made to feel very welcome because of the type of building noise carries and the movement of other guests can be heard - for anyone who is a light sleeper earplugs may be needed! Especially as the bottles and bins are done in the wee hours due to the location.
• Damien (9/5): -
• Lynnette (10/5): Absolutely perfect - Everything, location, price, staff & accommodation Nothing
• Anna-Lena (10/5): Eintauchen in die volle York Experience - Das Hotel liegt mitten in der Altstadt Yorks. Dort hat man die besten Voraussetzungen um durch die Gassen zu schlendern. Das Personal war überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend. Unser Gepäck konnten wir nach dem Auschecken problemlos dort lagern. Das Frühstück im angrenzenden Restaurant war richtig lecker, auch vegane Alternativen in Speisen und Getränken wurden angeboten. Sehr empfehlenswert. Einziger Verbesserungsvorschlag wäre USB kompatible Steckdosen oder Adapter für internationale Gäste. Wir hatten Adapter dabei, aber da ich nichts zu bemängeln habe- hier ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag :)
• Andres (10/5): - La ubicación es excelente. El desayuno tradicional de yorkshire lo sirven perfecto. La habitación es un poco chica.
• Nusrin (8/5): - Accessibility to everything Bit small
• Dan (10/5): Wonderful - Great hosts. Lovely location. Great breakfast
• Isabel (9/5): -
• Rachel (7/5): Good location - The location is ideal for exploring York. Quiet despite being located in a busy area. Breakfast- lukewarm had clearly been cooked earlier and kept warmish until serving, my bacon was not crispy and my husbands was hard, eggs were undercooked, which was a shame as ingredients were good. Could do with a mirror in the bedroom by the dressing table - room 9.
• jacqueline (8/5): Great for a short stay - Location, lovely staff, excellent breakfast Room a bit tight but no problem, could do with hooks added to the wall due to lack of wardrobe
• Piers (7/5): -
• Mark (9/5): -
• Vivien (10/5): -
• Emma (8/5): Overall an enjoyable experience. Lovely, friendly staff. The food was amazing. I would definitely book this property aga - It was quirky, clean and comfortable. The shower was a bit too strong and could have done with a separate spray. I think a mirror would have been useful in the bedroom.
• Alexander (10/5): -
• Emma (10/5): - we loved everything about our stay food was absolutely beautiful . Would definitely come again . Just that our window blind was broken didnt open .
• Alyn (10/5): Holibobs - Everything. It's such a magnificent, welcoming hotel Nothing or was all perfect
• John (9/5): -
• Hilton (7/5): - Location was super easy to find. Hard to forget where it was I payed for a room with a view and it said something about a bath tub snd instead I got the very top floor that looked down upon the street and all we could hear was non stop buskers and screaming
• Moacyr Dario (9/5): -
• Lynne (9/5): We had a lovely stay . Breakfast was very nice . Staff were very helpful and attentive . Would definitely stay again - The property was in a very central position . The building is very old and some parts need some upgrading . The stairs to the rooms was steep and could be an issue for some people .
• Michael (9/5): Great hotel, in a great location. Would drfinitely stay again if in the area - Quirky hotel with individual bedrooms and layout. Staff couldn't do more to help. Had an excellent evening meal in the attached restaurant Whilst we enjoyed our steak meals, one could argue tgat the menu was somewhat limited
• Kirsty (10/5): Perfect York Stay - Amazing location, comfortable bed and bath in room. Breakfast was also delicious.
• Margaret (6/5): It was an acceptable and friendly hotel to sleep in while visiting York, but not a place comfortable enough to spend tim - The staff members were all very friendly and helpful. The location is great. In the shower, the water was hot and the pressure good. While it is clear that the hotel is in the process of being refurbished and hopefully issues will be addressed, there are some things like lack of surfaces, places to hang wet towels, lack of sockets for charging phones etc that could do with being sorted out. Our room had two very tiny bedside tables, containing lamps with large bases. As these were the only available surfaces, it wasn't ideal. There is room to put larger ones in. Tea and coffee making facilities were on a tiny shelf just long and deep enough for a small kettle and two cups and saucers. This is not really safe when dealing with boiling water. It was cold, so we needed to turn both the radiators on. Unfortunately the curtains rested on top of one radiator, again not really safe. A net or other window covering would be good, so that in daytime you don't have to draw the curtains to get changed. A socket for charging would be useful. The lamps had USB sockets, but a lot of phones/ipads etc use USB-C, so need a socket. There was a huge gap under the door, so that when I turned over in bed to lay on my side, it was like having a searchlight shining in my eyes. I blocked the gap with my husband's socks(!), which while effective, again, wasn't really safe in the event of a fire etc. Somewhere to hang wet towels. We ended up using the coat hooks which wasn't ideal, as we needed to hang our wet coats there as well. These are all things that are easy and fairly cheap to deal with and they would make a big difference to the comfort of the room.
• Jonathon (10/5): Cute hotel in the heart of the city - Great location
• Sue Smith (10/5): Fantastic hotel and well worth a stay - I would definitely recommend - The hotel is located centrally. The staff were amazing from arriving to leaving we felt welcome and valued. The breakfast was lovely with a lot of choice. The room was cosy and clean and the bed comfy and warm. We had a great stay and would recommend The only thing I could say that I didn't like is, the shower cubicle was on the small side
