Friendly staff, basic room which was suitable for us. Clean & tidy, priced reasonably well. ,Location was handy with a bus stop just around the corner and a wee lovely cafe too, tasty wee fish & chip shop just along the road with very friendly staff and Morrisons right next door with helpful staff. Unfortunately no breakfast available but I would still stay there again,

Used as a place to rest my head while on a work trip. The bed was quite uncomfortable and there was a lot of road noise at night. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Budget price - budget room. Room was basic but very clean and beds were comfy. Tea and coffee available (& extra if needed). We literally just slept there so perfect. Parking on site was brilliant, plenty of space - 20 minutes walk into centre. Quiet despite being over a pub. Outside Iron staircase to the accommodation was a bit daunting with luggage though so something to be mindful of, but if you’re looking for cheap accommodation in a beautiful city then, it’s ideal.

We found this place by accident and what a great find it was! The staff were friendly, the food was phenomenal and we will definitely be staying here again.

Lovely clean bedding and towels. Great shower. Tea and coffee facilities and hair dryer and iron supplied. Dressing table with stool was a bonus. Car parking was ideal and access to room was up a stair rather than have to go through bar. Had a drink in bar on the 2 nights we were staying. Excellent quality of Sauvignon was on offer. Would definitely stay again.

Chech-in at the bar was simple and the room was spotlessly clean and tidy. The location was very good as it is a short distance to the city centre, hence quick to get around on foot. The on-site food and drink menu were fairly good and well worth a try. I can highly recommend the accommodation.

Nice rooms. Bathroom too small for me unfortunately. Pub looks a bit tired and could do with a makeover. Steps to rooms are metal fire escape outside at the back but treads not deep enough so be careful walking down them. Good atmosphere.

The hotel is well situated, it took about 15 to 20 minutes to walk to town, on a nice day it's a pleasant stroll. The room was very clean and spacious, the bed and pillows were comfortable.Tea and coffee facilities were also provided. The staff in the pub were very welcoming and friendly. We had an evening meal which was tasty and reasonably priced. The only thing to take note of is that the rooms are above a pub and music is played so an early night isn't really possible, although there were ear plugs provided. Access to the rooms is via an outside steel staircase. Overall I would recommend and would stay again.

This is a tricky review to frame: to do justice to a stay which I enjoyed whilst giving useful information for others considering it. All the staff I spoke with were friendly and helpful. All aspects of my room were clean and, although it was small it didn't feel cramped, except for not having space for a chair. It was close enough to the city for walking if you're fit enough to walk for 20-30 minutes. There is an onsite car park. On the other hand, it's a pub so deliveries can be early and noisy and you are not out of earshot of the bar. There is no internal access to the rooms: you reach them via frankly challenging fire stairs; and check kitchen data for when food will be available. As I say, I would happily stay again if I needed to; but if you're bad at stairs or have heavy bags, or if you are a light sleeper who needs to sleep in of a morning, it may not be for you.

Nice warm welcome, Ryan helped carry our luggage to room and explained WiFi code, nearest cafe for breakfast etc.We requested extra pillow and it was there, which is very good because we usually have to remind other hotels when we get there. Little things matter! Bed linen and towels very clean and fresh. Location was good, we took taxis into town but it’s walkable (20 mins) Taxi about £5 each way, about 5 mins. Friendly staff and customers and we had live music on the Saturday night. Didn’t eat there as we had previous dinner plans with family, but the drinks were very reasonably priced.

6/10 Good

Although staff were friendly, I was left waiting for an issue to be resolved and had to go back to the bar myself and still wasn't served quickly. I felt they were more interested in locals than guests. Dangerous outdoor stairs, slippery and ill lit, and very scruffy corridor to rooms which worried me. Booming from bar coming from door marked private right opposite rooms til midnight on a Monday, from the afternoon. Thus I couldn't be in, couldn't sleep, and it wasn't very warm. Very dangerous and awkward shower with high step and little space by sink, and water came out hot. Is quite far from the city, 20 mins walk to Monkbar (nearest gate), and it isn't in Layerthorpe, it's Heworth. Not lots of facilities arond, just a chippie and mini Morrisons, and some shops and cafes on East Parade. I saw few buses and it was a walk from my evening activities, curtailing my plans - yet when I got in, tired, I couldn't sleep thanks to the bar! I would like a rebate for the noise as that door is utterly unneccessary, and I've stayed in other inns, and we are often not near the bar and bars are often quiet or even shut on a Monday

The room was quite small and the en-suite was pretty tired. It was pretty warm however, I couldn't leave the window open as the road was quite busy until pretty late and then from early in the morning with noise being too much as a car seemed to go past every 10 seconds. I would've been okay with £30 for this room but unfortunately, I don't think it was worth £54. The gentleman who checked us in was friendly so, no issues with the staff.

Its was neat and tidy, bathroom was a bit of an adventure, but spotless nonetheless. I probably wouldnt stay here if you had mobility issues, but it was good value for money. Pub grub was great, the barmaids were 5* ,They couldnt have been more helpful and polite. Easy walk into York and a few shops at the end of the road. Parking was excellent.

Basic clean room. Fine for people like me who just want a clean room with a shower to go exploring. Pretty noisy but I’m a heavy sleeper so wasn’t bothered. Nice folks, very helpful and responsive.

Room was clean but no heating and no way to turn it on. Quite noisy through the night as people going from room to room ( late) Suppose our fault to book a room on top of a pub

The hotel is quite far from the city centre. That means a bus(3quid) or taxi (approx 6 quid)either way unless you drive , so factor the cost in when considering. The rooms are above a pub. Access os via a metal fire escape at the rear of the property. Our twin room was small but comfortable. The bathroom was tiny and one of the basin taps was loose. The major issue we had was on returning to the room at 1.39am the key to the communal door dudnt wirk
