“The hotel's charm lies in its community feel, with regular live music and a genuinely engaging pub atmosphere; homemade food, prepared with local ingredients, adds to the welcoming vibe. It's an older property, to be sure, but its friendly staff and central location-near the York Barbican and the City Walls-make it a practical choice. For travelers who appreciate character over pristine modernity, it's a solid, sociable base.”

The staff was friendly and helpful, always a plus when traveling (I do appreciate good service).
The room was uncomfortably warm. The radiator seemed stuck on full blast, and I could not adjust it. I had to open the window, but my room faced a busy street. The traffic noise made it difficult to sleep well. The combination of heat and noise was not ideal.

I found the location great for getting into the city centre. It was an easy walk. The staff were friendly and helpful. I was able to leave my car in the free car park after checking out, a real bonus. The room had everything I needed. It was nothing fancy, just good value for money.
My room was a bit warm, even with the fan provided.
