An elegant Victorian building just a short walk from York city walls make this the ideal place to base yourself whilst visiting the city. A warm welcome from a dedicated cheerful team awaits you. We will ensure you have a pleasant and relaxing stay with us.

Placed within 600 metres of York city walls and Micklegate, we are very well situated for holiday makers. The Victorian period building in which you can stay has a number of classic features for you to enjoy within it. Keeping the place in character means you get a real feel of what the city is made of.

All of our rooms have ensuite facilities for your privacy. The are also equipped to modern standards. So you get the best of the old and the best of the new when you stay with us.

We have a splendid restaurant in house that serves you up a great meal each morning and evening if you so choose. There is also a hotel bar here for you to enjoy a night cap with your loved ones and unwind after a day out in the city.

Ancient and modern, medieval and mystical, our city founded by the Romans nearly 2000 years ago is steeped in history and waiting for you to discover its delights.

York Minster - the largest Gothic Cathedral in Northern Europe and the Jorvik Viking Centre are the most visited sites in York. Warriors, craftsmen and traders who made their mark on this fine city. Marvellous museums paying tribute to Art, Brewery, Rail, Richard III, Castle and Dungeon are all top priority. For Theatre goers - Theatre Royal and the Grand Opera House are two of the favourites.

View the city from a different vantage point by taking a boat trip down the river, sun yourself on the sun decks, enjoy the English summer and sip something cool whilst taking in all the sights.

Leisurely lunches, coffees and people watching whilst you relax and then perhaps head for some serious shopping along Coney, Parliament and Spurriergate. Browse around the ancient streets where the ladies of the night once frequented - Grape Street - now home to exclusive shops and restaurants, Petergate and Goodramgate - home to the oldest row of houses dating back to the 14th century.

Take a tour around the city walls, part-take in a ghost hunt and perhaps visit the psychic museum on Stonegate for some insightful and interesting Revelations.

Guests Name: Anonymous was travelling as Young couple

Rating of 3.29 out of 5 Unique ID (108682924)

Guests Name: Anonymous was travelling as Solo leisure traveller

Good stuff: Met the requirements of a comfortable bed overnight after an evening engagement

Bad stuff: Was a bit expensive for what I needed (I got in very late and had to depart early next morning so the only facility I used was the bed and bathroom)

Overall: Had to book a room near city centre at short notice and nearly all B&Bs required 2 nights booked at weekend. Felt lucky to get in anywhere.

Bad stuff: Breakfast not included; food service in bar slow; food very expensive; bathroom slightly substandard (toilet seat loose, soap dish in shower also too loose for purpose, no towel rails).

Guests Name: Anonymous was travelling as Group of adult friends

Good stuff: Value for money

Bad stuff: Room foisty (slightly)

Overall: Good value for money. Hotel a little jaded but functional. Shows signs of having been very grand, but now a little past its best. They might have charged more if they were to upgrade. We wanted inexpensive and functional and we were not disappointed.

Guests Name: Anonymous was travelling as Family with older children

Good stuff: The large family room was great. The Old fashioned style of the hotel was very seasonal, making it very christmassy. Most staff very pleasant

Bad stuff: Staff could not understand some of our requests especially at meals times.Kept bringing us the wrong food in the wrong order and rushed us too. Food not very good and we did not feel it was good value. we paid £92.00 for a family meal and it was cold and boring. We were on a christmas break and wanted a xmas meal (which we got) but were put in a cold uninviting room that was empty of decoration and no one else in there. We would not of booked the meal if we had known that. The family room was a great size but the creaking above it was awful. such a shame.

Overall: I really liked the position of Hotel,style of hotel.However it needs a little refurbishment and was not very clean in some places. We were given a double room on arrival which was cold and dismal and badly decorated(room 209 I think). So we refused it and all stayed in the family room which was a great size. Not the break we asked for but turned out well in the end. I would stay in the hotel again but would not have meals and would ask for more information about the rooms. Also the Bar could be more welcoming. The best place in the hotel is below the lovely stair case.

Guests Name: Gemma was travelling as Group of adult friends

Good stuff: The hotel was really good value for money with a warm and friendly atmosphere from the moment we walked in. There were plenty of tea and coffee / refreshments in our room and the room was clean and tidy. We also liked the fact that the hotel was so close to the city. We have already made plans to come again and stay in the hotel for a weekend break.

Overall: The hotel was clean / tidy and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. Plenty of refreshments and clean extra linen in rooms. The car park is spacious and there is a comfortable reception / bar area inside the hotel. Real good value for money. We would definately come back.

Guests Name: Allan was travelling as Mature couple

Bad stuff: From the moment I stepped in the door until the moment I left. Extremely poor accomodation, dirty, unhelpful/uncaring staff.

Overall: Had payment not been demanded as soon as we stepped in the door - we would have left within 10 minutes of arrival.

Guests Name: Andrew was travelling as Young couple

Good stuff: The main communal areas had excellent decoration, was comfortable and sympathetically lit

Bad stuff: The ensuite was very dated, and the shower was extremely difficult to set to the right temprature, my partner found the mattress quite hard, and wasn't comfortable, i on the other hand was quite happy with the mattress!

Guests Name: Jorgen was travelling as Solo leisure traveller

Good stuff: proximity to York City sights and railway

Bad stuff: the appaling state of the bathroom with fallen down tiles and other unrepaired damages. A poor English breakfast at a high price in a narrow room with a howling draught.

Guests Name: Anonymous was travelling as Solo business traveller

Good stuff: The hotel is a splendid art nouveau building, close to the centre of the city

Bad stuff: In my room, the lodge across the road, the curtains did not fit the windows so I woke very early.

Overall: I chose this hotel because it is an hostoric building and I think that its state of preservation and upkeep is very much to be admired. The staff were very helpful. But my stay was ruined by the very skimpy curtains which meant that I woke very early in the morning.

Guests Name: sheila was travelling as Family with older children

Good stuff: rooms were clean and well presented, hotel was beautiful

Bad stuff: unable to smoke in room. reception staff were not welcoming which is not ideal way to start any hotel stay no matter how beautiful the surroundings. A smile would not have gone amiss!
