Had such a lovely time in York and the staff at the fat badger added to the whole experience. Would highly recomend to anyone planning a visit to the city as a place to stay . The staff are polite and friendly and the morning lady who does the breakfast shifts is amazing and had us laughing she was from leeds just so she knows its her we are talking about . The rooms were very clean with clean bedding every day our only regret is we didnt stay longer

6/10

Food was amazing both in burger night & at breakfast. Beer garden wonderful. Hotel is a very old building in York, so you need to be prepared for narrow, squeaky stairs, sloping floors to room. The bed was comfy but the standard room is small & bathroom was just ok. There is a lot of outside noise from other bars on the street & traffic noise so the provided ear plugs were very welcome. Great for a short stay in an old world authentic inn - don’t expect a plush high end refurbished hotel but it all adds to the character of the place.

Lovely old building in the heart of old York. Room was nice although I’ve slept in more comfortable beds- I prefer a firmer mattress. Breakfast was excellent with good quality products. May not be suitable for people with mobility issues.

Not only did we enjoy our lodging at the Fat Badger but the meals we had there were fabulous as well. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us during their busy holiday season. The property is cozy and convenient to the city center and we couldn’t have been happier with the staff. We had a lovely stay.

Stayed three days for the Christmas Markets. Accommodation was expensive and not justified as the room was in average condition. Bed was very comfortable and the location was excellent.

We loved the view outside our window of the old city gate, it was so close we felt we could reach out the window and touch it!. The room was comfortable and the staff helpful. Would recommend for an atmospheric stay.

A unique hotel in York. Great location close to The Minster, the Wall, the Shambles and the Art Gallery. Good restaurant on site but also many other dining options nearby.
2-night trip

10/10

Only stayed one night but staff were very kind and it’s in a great location. The building is beautiful and the bed was really comfy. The pub has a great beer garden too. One thing to say (& this is common for the architecture across York) is that the doorways can be quite small and a bit of a hazard if you’re tall!
