“The George Inn's 15th-century roots create a distinctive atmosphere, extending from the bar and beer garden to its spot beside Selby Abbey. While rooms vary in size and some noise is to be expected given its location, the freshly cooked breakfasts and friendly staff are definite advantages. It's a convenient choice for those wanting a base near the train station and town center, with a lively pub at its heart.”

Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The George Inn enjoys a superb location right next to Selby Abbey, which some guests particularly appreciate being able to visit late. Guests often mention the spacious rooms, well-equipped with tea/coffee facilities, and storage like wardrobes and bedside drawers; many also like the convenient free parking. The hot breakfast, served until 10 am, is widely regarded as good, though a few guests have noted that the staircase leading to the rooms could use some fresh paint. With its beer terrace offering views of the Abbey, many consider the hotel a great value.

The breakfast was nice and included quality hash browns. The secure car park was free and convenient (made everything much easier).
The room felt a little dated.

My room included tea and coffee facilities. I also appreciated the additional milk cartons I requested. Breakfast offered many choices for both continental and cooked options. The service was also excellent.
Staff had no idea about my allergies when I checked in. My room was dirty and dusty. I saw mould growing on and around the windows. The bathroom smelt of urine and was also dirty and mouldy.
