Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers big and comfy themed rooms with a great kitchen and shower, though the WC is small. The complimentary breakfast and luggage room add value for the price.
Staying at the hostel was a mixed experience; the central location was convenient, but noise could be an issue for light sleepers. The room was basic, lacking some essential hooks, yet cozy and within the historic city walls. The dining experience was pleasant overall, with a delicious breakfast but separate charges for drinks.
The hotel is located in a lovely part of York, directly in the heart of the city's center. The rooms above the kitchen are a bit noisy but bearable, and the 5-bed mixed room is cozy. The service is good overall, with friendly staff. The location is fantastic, near everything you could possibly want in York. The dining experience in Kennedy's Bar was enjoyable. The facilities are decent, although limited.
