"perfect location for a drinking weekend in york!"

8.0

couldn’t get a more central location, right on the front of the river, nice staff, clean modern rooms, river view from the windows. whilst staying you also get 25% off at the lowther pub underneath which was a great addition we didn’t know was included! :) i’ve seen other reviews about the noise, they’re over exaggerating. the room has ear plugs if you want to use them, but the music volume was fine. expect to hear a little something if you book to stay above a pub tho, don’t be daft

strange in and out. there’s no reception, had to inform bar staff of our stay (not an issue), we were then guided up a load of stairs and doors and one way exits to our room, quite confusing to get in and out, we had to use the fire escape which leads to an alley way at the back of the pub. wouldn’t say it’s the safest if you travel just with the girls as there’s no security or anything guarding said door. went back to room at like 1am but decided to go get food after, we got IDd by the bouncers of the pub, they genuinely didn’t believe us when we said we were just gonna bed and that there’s a hotel as part of the pub😂. had to organise someone to leave fire exit open to us to come back to. the rooms walls are verrryyyyy thin, understandable for the old building, was on edge wondering if the cleaner was gonna come in whilst we were in bed. could hear next doors every move. these are not reasons to avoid, this place is acc lovely and i would stop again, just giving people a heads up!😂

"Not worth the money - but that's York! Noisy, not very clean, but great staff"

5.0

This was the cheapest place I could find in rip-off York at short notice. £90! It was convenient in the centre, and the staff were really friendly. I forgot my phone, and they looked after until I got back.

There was no heating, presumably because the radiator was leaking, so there was a big wet patch on the carpet. The toilet wasn't very clean. And the music from the bar below was VERY LOUD. I knew there was music, so I kept my headphones on until it stopped around midnight. But if you want an early night or to watch TV - forget it. £90 was just too much for very basic accommodation.
