Lovely old hotel just across from York Minster. I don’t think there is a straight wall or floor anywhere in the building which really adds to its charm. We ate both dinner and breakfast both of which were excellent.
The room was spotless and huge. The bed was comfy and we had a great view of the Minster, although there are currently building works taking place opposite the inn, but that can't be helped.
I would note that the room doesn't have a safe, which would've been nice and also the bathroom windows feel like people can see in. Not sure if they actually can but they are not majorly frosted.
We would definitely stay here again if/when we come back to York.
As expected the hotel was very quirky being themed solely on Guy Fawkes. Our bedroom and the dining room were excellent. Only problem in room was inconsistent hot water. It was too hot or cold! The speciality steak and ale pie was delicious!!

Fantastic stay from start to finish. Great central location and super friendly staff. The room was beautifully decorated, fantastic breakfast to set you up for the day, restaurant food was amazing and the bar/beer garden were great. Despite it being a pub, it was great to be able to still come and go no matter the time which lent itself well to me as an early bird as it meant I could go for an early morning walk. Overall a great stay and I'll definitely be back.
Amazing staff and service, room was lovely and decoration was in keeping with the property. We lovely all the quirky charms of the building. Great central location. The food offering and breakfast was great quality.

It was a stay for my b'day and I'd always wanted to stay here, and it was cool staying in such an old building. The bed was very comfy. The four poster room I found to be very dark, but did add to the experience. The tap on the sink was very loose and there was a hole in the wall by the toilet and some brown spots on the toilet seat which wasn't great. For the price I would've expected better.
I could not have been more centrally located. It is an old place, so floors slope and doorways are low. But after a few weeks in these parts, I know to look. Dinner was lovely; the pie superb. And I was grateful they minded my luggage after checkout since my train departure was later in the day.
If you like accommodation with a bit of history and real character about it, this is the place for you
Of course the building is old and a bit rickety but that just adds to the charm.
The location is perfect, right beside the Cathedral and a five minute stroll to The Shambles and other attractions.
It's friendly, clean and the food is excellent.
I would definitely stay here again.
Was an OK stay in the centre of York right next the Minster, place was a little tired and the bed only a double in the four poster room. However, the room is right next to the street so very noisy even for a Wednesday evening until 2am, with bins being emptied at 4am and people leaving rooms at 6am meant a very unpleasant night.
As a plus the pub underneath the hotel is nice with 3 beer gardens and a nice atmosphere but closes and kicks you out at exactly 11pm even for residents!
Bathroom was OK and cleanish, needs a depth scrub and removal of lime and shower was not very powerful and leaking from the pipe... just needs more attention.,
In summary for the £220 per night not very impressed !
We had a great stay here and we loved the theme of the inn! The room was clean and well decorated and the staff are great also the food served here is delicious. The one sore spot is the shower temperature control doesn’t work so couldn’t have a warm shower all weekend.
Excellent location very close to York Minster and convenient for the city centre attractions and shops. Hotel has an amazing historical connection to the gun powder plot.
Brilliant location from the train station and into the town centre. Food was delicious. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend.
