Lovely old property with an interesting historical background. Minutes walking distance from historical sites and amenities. You even hear the ghosts of the high street at night.

If you are travelling to York parking is an issue, but that is the same in all cities to be fair. Be prepared to pay £30 per 24 hours for Q-Park, it’s out of the hotel’s control, but a factor to consider when visiting York for any hotel without a guest car park.
That said, the hotel’s location could not be better for a tourist type stay, you really are in the middle of things and being pedestrianised it is lovely and quiet - except early morning, when trucks are making their deliveries!
The hotel itself is very quirky, a beautiful old building. The maintenance was a little off but nothing to impact your stay - a failed bathroom lightbulb and flaking paint on the inside of the windows. Things that good housekeeping shouldn’t miss. We didn’t use any facilities, so I cannot report on that.
We had a basic room. Which was very small but also very comfortable. Good bathroom!
I would stay again.

It’s a lovely property but in need of maintenance. It is in the busy centre, but sits in the quietness of a courtyard. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is no restaurant. Breakfast is packed in a bag that you can take with you, so would forego if reduces price as plenty of really nice breakfast places in York, although not many seem to open before 8:30 or 9am.
Loved the history, quirky character. Great shower. I would just suggest a small sign perpendicular to the entramce, as it is hard to spot and can be passed several times before spotting the passageway
