Excellent location & food, charming atmosphere

AMAZING location in a historic inn, cute views from my 4th-floor room (naturally no elevator, so keep that in mind). The food and drinks were top-notch, and it's only a short walk to York Minster and the art gallery, Yorkshire Museum, Museum Gardens, etc. I will definitely stay here again!

I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy with a hotel. In addition to the perfect, convenient location and good value, the staff was so kind and the room so charming and thoughtful. I wish I had more than one night!

Absolutely gorgeous hotel next to the city walls with a beer garden that is very inviting. I would highly recommend the hotel. The breakfast was delicious. If you want a small hotel with history this is where to stay in York. Perfect location for an early walk on the city walls. Superb.
