We loved the history and quirkyness of this inn. We were worried that the restaurant noise would keep us up but we heard nothing in our room.Easy walking to everything. Loved Guy Fawkes and would absolutely stay there again!

Quirky pub with character. But wonky staircase and floors felt a bit unsafe. And there was a green light on ceiling of bedroom that affected my wife's sleep.

The setting is unique; rooms within an inn, within inches of dining customers. The pub closes early enough that their revelry didn’t keep us awake. We just couldn’t freely use the window for light and air because it’s anything but private. But we will remember having slept near Guy Fawkes’ birthplace.

We really felt that this property was overrated, and also misrepresented... it was portrayed as much fancier and cooler than it was. The room was tiny, cramped, and crypt like,and the overall inn itself was small, dark and cramped as well. It seemed clean on the surface, but the whole experience felt grimy, and I didn't really want to set anything down in our room. I dreaded going back to the property at the end of the day, and felt claustrophobic and uncomfortable the whole time we were there. Honestly, we should have checked out and gone somewhere else, but we didn't realize that it was an option, as we had prepaid for the stay. Additionally, the property was located in the most cramped, overly touristy area in York, and there were throngs of people outside at all times. This is a terrible, touristy location. The noise levels were unbelievable, and I can't believe that there were no warnings about this in advance. The room is over a noisy pub, and there was loud drunken revelry below us and outside the window which kept waking us up. The staff seemed annoyed by working there, and there was a general lack of care and attention in general. Also, some people might have thought that the age and deterioration of the building was quaint and historic, but the room slanted really dramatically and it made it difficult to walk around. The bed was loud and creaky, and the sheets were rough like sandpaper. This was one of the worst places we have ever stayed!

Luv the building, pub, restaurant and rooms. For being a very old historic structure it is well maintained. Rooms are well appointed and very comfortable including the bed. The inn couldn't be better placed to see the old sections of York. Most everything is only steps away or a very short walk. Plenty of sites and dining options close by.

I wouldn’t call the bedroom deluxe, it was adequate. I felt it was in need of updating. The shower wasn’t great, it was difficult to regulate the temperature. The only complementary toiletry supplied was hand wash. The shower room could do with a shelf, there was nowhere to put anything & we had to leave our wash bags on the floor. It could have done with the mirror being in the middle of the room rather than tucked behind the door, not very convenient when trying to use a hairdryer. The outside area was a bit on the tatty side & cramped. On a positive note, the staff were friendly and the food was all lovely and tea & coffee facilities & ear plugs were supplied!

Loved this historic building in a wonderful location in the heart of York. The staff were all brilliant, really friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was great too. For a hotel right next to the Minster I wasn’t expecting it to be so quiet at night but it was surprisingly peaceful and the bed was sooo comfy.

Right next to the Minster, it made waking to all interesting areas very easy. The room was charming and made one feel as though it had barely changed since the 17th C. yet had modern conveniences. The one thing I would note is that a good light is needed by the mirror in the bedroom, as I could see only the very top of my head in the bathroom mirror where the light is excellent.

Lovely Historic Inn in the Center of York
Great historic property smack dab in the middle of York. There's a lovely pub on the first floor, so it really does feel like you're staying at inn from days of yore. We loved this about the place. Others might like it less. Personal preference. Breakfast was really good, so be sure to get that if you stay here.
