I was absolutely blown away by the lovely and warm room, exactly as pictured on the website. The staff were super helpful and accommodating, providing us with maps and city information. The hotel's central location was spot on, although not approachable by car. The dining experience was good, but could have been improved, and the facilities were great overall.

The hotel is a charming place full of character and charm with spacious rooms and well-equipped amenities. However, the service was slightly overcharging for the property, and they were disinterested in assisting my disabled sister. The location is excellent, right in the city center but tucked away, making it convenient for shopping and sightseeing. The dining options, though limited, offer a nice touch with the facility to pre-order breakfast for delivery to your room.

The hotel fell short of expectations in terms of the room decor and amenities, but the bath was a saving grace. The service was friendly but lacked expected assistance. The central location was a plus, but accessibility late at night was an issue. The dining options were convenient but had room for improvement.

The hotel is in a convenient location for exploring York, but it can be tricky to find if you're not paying attention. The rooms are not quite as good after complaining, with some stained furniture, but the staff is really friendly. The dining experience may not be worth the price, and the fact that premises cannot be accessed for luggage between 10:30 and 17:00 is inconvenient. Overall, the historic setting adds charm, but some aspects could be improved for better value.

I absolutely loved the quirky decor and historical charm of the hotel. The central location was excellent, but the lack of a lift and no air conditioning made our stay a bit challenging, especially with a room on the top floor. The four-poster bed was a nice touch, and the bathroom was well-appointed. However, the room needed some maintenance as it didn't match the online photos accurately.
