What really made this hotel excel was the delightful and helpful staff. We even met the owner who was a really hands on person when it came to helping guests.
The location is amazing- right by the Minster. Beautiful gardens.

Lovely and quaint
Hotel was wonderful. Unique. Our bathroom was on a second floor from the bedroom. We had to climb a narrow spiral staircase to get to it. Once u got used to the stairs it wasnt a big deal in the middle of the night. Would definetely stay there again.

What a fun stay in York! We were pleasantly surprised to have convenient parking right in the heart of town. A gorgeous property with a lovely room and comfortable bed. We could easily walk to the Minster, Shambles and City Wall with no problem. The cooked to order breakfast was excellent as were all the staff we met. They made sure our stay was completely comfortable.

Overall a very lovely stay, historical building and very friendly service. One problem was about 30 mins wait during breakfast, but staff apologised, so that's ok.
Very comfortable bed, good coffee and nice toiletries.

This is a Jewel! Go to the Garden, enjoy the 600 year old experience. Everything was at it's highest level!! You get to check in early if your room is ready. Our room had a view of the cathedral. The staff is super friendly. Just entering the Hotel via an ancient cobble stone path is so cool!!
