Friendly traditional Inn, good full English breakfast. Great location to walk into the City along the river, free parking also a bonus. Rooms are comfortable but the age of the building perhaps explains why the bathrooms and showers are dated. Enjoyed my second stay there and outside of building has been freshly painted.

The accommodation has free parking and was convenient to walk into the city. When we were there there was no evening meals available so we had to walk to get a meal. Towels were lovely and clean but really hard and scratchy. Shower was like warm and curtains are damaged so don’t close properly

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.

Great value 1 night stay. Check in was quick and easy with the friendly barman. The hotel is a 10minute walk along the river to the city centre. Bed was conformable, had a great nights sleep. Nice shower in the morning. The only reason I can't give full marks is due to the overpowering drainage smell in the bathroom. The bathroom was clean but unfortunately there seems to be an issue with the drains. Other than that, I would recommend this hotel for a great value bed for the night. Can't comment on the food and drink as we ate in the city centre. We would certainly return.

Well worth a stop, parking onsite is a huge benefit in York. The room was very clean and tidy and ensuite was not cramped and very clean.

8/10

Great if you like to stay in a place with character, history and friendly staff, the payoff is its decor is a little dated as were the shower facilities. Value for money was goods with free parking, well positioned to walk into the City centre along the river path. We enjoyed our stay.
