Solo Welsh Woman visits York

Despite being very much an English pub facility the people were very friendly & helpful, the rooms were comfortable & well apportioned. The pubs position just a few meters away from the river walk into the city was a real bonus. It encouraged me to walk rather than rely on public transport, although this was frequent with a nearby bus stop, and I found lovely parts of the city that I may have missed otherwise. I would recommend this hotel to family & friends.

April midweek break

The hotel was good. The rooms had nice furniture and they were clean. The location was spot on for what we needed. Could walk into the city along the river. Bar is a typical old pub with fantastic features. Beer garden was really nice. Think the hotel is going through some updating and it’s needed but would stay again for sure

Good location, room needs some upgrading!

Hotel is rather central just outside the city walls, good location, pub is a typical old town pub, rooms are a bit dated and need a facelift and some TLC but cant complain about the price paid.

Average stay

The location was Ok, quite close to the centre. Staff very friendly but lacking knowledge of simple facts like how to synchronise the TV as it didn't work when we checked in. Bed was quite comfy and room was quiet, considering we were on top of the pub and by the main road. Cleanliness very poor, the carpet was incredibly dirty and the brush toilet holder was in really poor condition, all rusty. This cost less than £5 to replace it Overall, if you are in a budget, the place is OK but it could certainly be improved by owners I can't comment on food and drinks as we didn't consume anything. There are amazing places in York centre where to have meals and drinks

Great stay

Great location, pleasant walk into York from the hotel, good breakfast but you need to order it the night before. We spent three nights there, the bar was pleasant for drinks after walking back from York centre.
