Check in was good and swift. The staff are very pleasant and friendly. Unfortunately we had a tiny room, very clean, but it just happened to directly above the pool room and was so noisy. The bathroom was also very small and nowhere to put your toiletries and the toilet was a Saniflow also very noisy. We sat in the dining area one evening for a drink and the tables were sticky. Great location and veryconvenient for walking around York. Free parking.

Friendly traditional Inn, good full English breakfast. Great location to walk into the City along the river, free parking also a bonus. Rooms are comfortable but the age of the building perhaps explains why the bathrooms and showers are dated. Enjoyed my second stay there and outside of building has been freshly painted.

Great location to city centre, very friendly staff, comfortable bed, good sized room, ideal for a couple of nights. Fast internet and good TV signal. Quiet overnight, no disturbance or noise, bar closed at Midnight but had a key for the other door so we could come and go as we pleased :)

Despite being very much an English pub facility the people were very friendly & helpful, the rooms were comfortable & well apportioned. The pubs position just a few meters away from the river walk into the city was a real bonus. It encouraged me to walk rather than rely on public transport, although this was frequent with a nearby bus stop, and I found lovely parts of the city that I may have missed otherwise. I would recommend this hotel to family & friends.
