The Walkergate Inn was a fab little pub with rooms to stay at. The room I stayed in was fab for the night, with a double, TV, kettle with tea & coffee. A bathroom with shower. The room was safe & secure & a 3 minute walk from the main town centre. The staff I ment on check in/out were warm & friendly. I would definitely stay there again.

We chose this property for it's location, right in the old part of York, which as fantastic. The room itself was noisy, over crowded with a few broken items. The sheets didn't fit the bed properly and kept coming off in the night making it quite uncomfortable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
There is really not anything positive I can say. The bed was terrible! Thin, bad quality mattress, thin lousy pillows. Noisy outside the window from the pub downstairs until after 1AM Door lock was hard to use, we almost locked ourselves in. Mold in the shower. Just don't do it! We loved the town of York, but had a miserable night in this "Hotel"

Excellent location. The staff in the pub were friendly and delightful. The room was clean. The double bed in room 7 needs a new mattress and a wood slate is underneath the bed and should be fixed. But overall a very pleasant stay for the one night.

Very convenient location for exploring York. Surprisingly quiet considering it's above a pub. It was a bit dilapidated, but very clean. Couldn't get the TV to work, and felt awkward to ask for assistance, since there's no front desk, just the pub.

The staff here was so nice! It isn't in the most scenic part of the city, but it was safe enough and the property was fine. There is a lovely deck outside overlooking a canal. If you are looking for a good deal that is a short walk from the more historic areas, this is a good choice.

Accommodating of late check-in, good parking. Good central location. Bed clean. Bathroom mouldy. Noise from other rooms/toilets very loud. No blackout curtains and broken blinds. Lots of daylight and potential for onlookers.
