What's not to like. We enjoyed everything the hotel had to offer. The staff was polite, friendly, helpful always smiling. Really helped make the stay perfect The food was out of this world. We tried the pies, I had chicken and bacon. Just WOW and the full Yorkshire breakfast was really nice also. For a building 7 century's old. All the little imperfections just added to the character and charisma. The slanted floors did take some getting used to.

The ONLY negative which ISN'T anything to do with the hotel, but the St micheal belfrey was having some major work done to it. So wasn't much of a view.

Location Staff were all very pleasant Decor in the room (except noisy chandelier- see comments below)! Bed was comfortable Good bar and seating areas Nice place for a nightcap!

Chandelier in room rattled constantly (to extent it actually woke us both up at least once)! Very noisy from above the bedroom, especially at the weekend and after midnight (not sure if there is staff quarters or something else above the room)? Nowhere to hang towel in bathroom No mirror with good lighting (woman’s thing)! Shower temperature control knobs extremely difficult to adjust

Conveniently located to all the walking downtown historic locations. We stayed 1 night only. We wish we had 1 more day in York. Overnight parking was just a 8 minute walk. We did that after dropping our bags off by parking on the street beside the hotel. During peak hours there is no cars allowed on most of the historic streets. Be sure to find the 30+ cat statues located in the historic village.

It was great for us, however if stairs is an issue for you ask for the garden view rooms. They are main floor. Our friends stayed in one and enjoyed the nearby space for having a cigarette. Outdoor space heaters and large umbrellas cover the space. We had dinner and it was fabulous. My perfect meal consisted of a Yorkshire pudding with gravy and the sticky toffee pudding. It was fantastic! Red wine was the perfect pairing.

This is a very old building and it has a lot of character. The room was large and maybe a little quirky, but in a good way. There was an extra single bed in the room. The closet was large and the bathroom was nice. The room overlooked the beer garden outside which was pretty noisy early in the afternoon and evening, but quiet late at night. The pub downstairs was excellent and well worth a visit. The breakfast (extra) was great too and made to order. Probably the best bed pillows of our trip too! Great location too, close to York Minster Cathedral and The Shambles.

This was a great experience . The hotel is everything we expected the staff were even better . Due to my wife breaking both feet not long after we placed the booking , small things cause a problem with movement but the staff did everything one could ask for to make our stay brilliant . The food was lovely and prices not too bad . Once again thank you very much for a great 2 days

There was little or nothing to dislike . The place is old and does not lend itself to wheel chairs but as I say the staff did anything to help in this regards so no dislikes

It wasn't our first stay here, but if possible it was even better. The room was fantastic - super clean and comfortable with a luxurious 4-poster bed and a spectacular view of York Minster. The team were all lovely, so cheerful and couldn't be more helpful. Everything in the hotel is just easy - perfect location right in the centre of York, the on-site restaurant serves fabulous food and the bar is great. The history, of course, is brilliant, too.

The Inn was very close to the City centre and easy to get to walking from the York train station . We also liked the history of the place and its quaintness. The staff were v friendly and nice and helpful too. Breakfast lovely.

Going upstairs to our room as it was v dark. The walls are painted a v dark colour and the lights are v dim again I think it's to create an atmosphere for the v old Inn BUT for people with eyesight problems it's too dark to see.

Beautiful building and the views of the minster are amazing. Great location to everything and the restaurant has really good food, not your typical bar menu, it was delicious. Pub was great and the staff was awesome.

The chapel directly across from the GF inn was under renovation so at night, outside our open window, we heard a constant beeping from the construction site security system or traffic barricade (we couldn’t figure it out) it sounded like an alarm clock going off.

First of all, the location is fantastic, across from the Yorkminister, and right in the middle of the old town. It was an easy walk from the train station and dozens of restaurants nearby, including the fabulous pub in the hotel itself. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a shower. No problems at all.

This is the second time we've stayed there. We love this little hotel and its history The floors are uneven and is narrow in spots, but for something this old (1600s) it's amazing.

What is there not to like! Amazing location! Stunning views! So much to see and experience in walking distance. Beautiful rooms that are uniquely steeped in history and legends. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the room was even more gorgeous in person. Oh! And, remember, remember.. to book your table for a dinner that will never be forgot!

It can be a bit pricey. However, with the great staff and experience of it all, it is well worth it
