6/10

We stayed for 1 night as a halfway stop en route, the staff were extremely helpful and polite. Unfortunately the facilities in the room were lacking, the bed was very low and the tiny shower door didnt open fully i had requested a low floor room because i have mobility issues at the moment, but was placed up a flight of stairs. They need to make it absolutely clear on their website that they are not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. The food was really good as was the beer.

The Walkergate Inn was a fab little pub with rooms to stay at. The room I stayed in was fab for the night, with a double, TV, kettle with tea & coffee. A bathroom with shower. The room was safe & secure & a 3 minute walk from the main town centre. The staff I ment on check in/out were warm & friendly. I would definitely stay there again.

Excellent location. The staff in the pub were friendly and delightful. The room was clean. The double bed in room 7 needs a new mattress and a wood slate is underneath the bed and should be fixed. But overall a very pleasant stay for the one night.

The staff here was so nice! It isn't in the most scenic part of the city, but it was safe enough and the property was fine. There is a lovely deck outside overlooking a canal. If you are looking for a good deal that is a short walk from the more historic areas, this is a good choice.

Very convenient location for exploring York. Surprisingly quiet considering it's above a pub. It was a bit dilapidated, but very clean. Couldn't get the TV to work, and felt awkward to ask for assistance, since there's no front desk, just the pub.

Accommodating of late check-in, good parking. Good central location. Bed clean. Bathroom mouldy. Noise from other rooms/toilets very loud. No blackout curtains and broken blinds. Lots of daylight and potential for onlookers.
