Easy15 mins, to walk into town centre. Situated on a Very busy road, so traffic noise at night, which we were aware of when booking. Old building. In need of complete refurbish in bedrooms, Bathroom/toilet door did not close. Sour smell in bathroom, which filtered into bedroom. Very welcoming on arrival, all staff very helpful. Busy bar in an evening. Food available if required.

A small hotel that doubles as a bar and restaurant with pool tables and darts. The room is relatively small, we spent around 120 pounds to book a room about 13 square meters, so the value for money is average. But the staff are very friendly. Breakfast is optional, 12.5 pounds per person, and the freshly made English breakfast is fantastic. Overall, I would give it 4.2 Stars!

The staff were lovely! I was out all day for the snooker so I left my bag with Molly who also allowed me an early key. Breakfast was just the ticket in the morning and my off menu order wasn't a problem! A great stay and a good find! 😊

First the positives, the area was really convenient for the barbican theatre, and was relatively quiet compared to central York. Once the pub closed downstairs the place was nice and quiet and I got a really good nights sleep in the comfy bed, and the blackout curtains were great. I felt safe as a solo female traveller which is a huge plus, and all the staff were so friendly and welcoming and happy to help. Also, to have tea and biscuits in the room was a nice touch. Overall, well worth the money as such a reasonable price. However slightly let down with the cleanliness as parts of the room (especially the bathroom) felt outdated and a little on the grubby side, also the handle on the outside of my door was hanging off, meaning I had to swing and slam it shut so I could leave things safely in the room, which I felt was poor and really should have been fixed before guests stayed in the room. Having said that, I would definitely stay again and would recommend if you’re looking for somewhere cheap and convenient, as long as the issue with the door was fixed.

Handy place to stay whilst we visited the Barbican for the Snooker final. It was a short walk from there. Staff were friendly, ample parking on site, food and drink were at good prices and the food was lovely. The pub and room had a traditional 'York' feel about them, but we're still well kept and clean with all the facilities you require. Will definitely stop there again.

Very friendly host and staff. Room good for what we paid. Pub has some wonderful period features including the bar itself. Breakfast was one of the best full English we have ever had. Only had the one night as a stop off but it did the trick.
