The quirkiness of the whole building, the room was super nice! Bit disorienting going to the loo in the dark with the floor sloping but I loved it. The en-suite was lovely and warm, the shower powerful and nice to have toiletries supplied. The bed was comfortable, a little too maybe as we were meant to be exploring, listening out for anything unusual but we slept like babies. The breakfast was delicious, certainly couldn’t eat all of it but anyone with a huge appetite would have been set for the day. Lots of choice and cooked really well. Location was great and not far at all for the QParking, felt the car was safe too. Staff were lovely, all friendly and we look forward to another stay in the future.

Nothing comes to mind, maybe that there were no ‘bumps in the night’ maybe next time.

Absolutely amazing place to stay. Decorated beautifully and so clean. The staff were delightful and so helpful with the added extras I asked for with the room package. It was so nicely presented. The breakfast was also fantastic and what great staff. The energy of the building you can really feel and you certainly aren’t disappointed… what a place. Would definitely recommend and we will 100% come back.

Nothing at all negative to say.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was spotless and had a quirky design that made it feel unique compared to standard hotel rooms. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout my stay, which made the experience even better. The location was perfect—close to everything I needed and very convenient for getting around. Breakfast was also a highlight with plenty of delicious options to start the day. Overall, a great stay with charm, comfort, and excellent service. I’d definitely recommend this hotel and would happily return!

There was nothing I could pick a fault with 10/10 in everything

Great location, clean room, and very comfortable bed. Nice Shower and complimentary shower gel etc. Atmospheric decor in the room with popular pub downstairs, there was no noise from below when we got settled. Helpful staff. Ghost free night unfortunately.

Room was comfy, but toilet seat was not attached to toilet properly on arrival and needed repair, but hopefully this will be mended for future guests! Was looking forward to the Nespresso machine coffee, but it did not work, only producing a very small amount of coffee in the cup after topping up the water, which was disappointing.

I loved it...The Golden Fleece is just an amazing place and so incredible to stay in. You're close to everything in the centre of York, and it's great value for money because you get what you pay for here. Its beautiful decor and the staff really look after you. I'm looking forward to visiting again when I can.The food was also lovely and the breakfast was really good. The room was beautiful and clean.Very spacious I felt right at home.The Staff made it extra special and it was a special occasion and left a lovely surprise on the bed with Fizz and chocolates.

There's nothing i didn't like...I loved my one night stay.

Was so looking forward to staying here and it did not disappoint!!! Amazing room, very quirky with its portraits and slanting doors and floors, due to the age and foundations of the place. No ghosties visited us during the night and we slept amazingly well. Across the road from The Shambles which was chaotic when we arrived around 4pm. After dinner walk, great, hardly anyone around could really take in the sights. Same in the morning around 0930, best times to visit I reckon. York was incredible with so much history and easy walk to everything from the hotel

This hotel has all the vibes of a haunted pub! The decor, the ambience. EVERYTHING! I’d hoped to be too tipsy to stay awake but no…I got what a paid for. I couldn’t sleep a wink as I felt I was being watched, someone stroked my head (it wasn’t my husband as he was sparked out after one too many) I went for the experience and I certainly got it! The bed was comfy and the bathroom itself was super spooky! I loved all of it but I was definitely tired the next day. No fault of the pub as that’s what I went for. Evening meal was superb and the pudding was lush. Breakfast was nice although the sausages looked a little too much of what I’d had a good portion of the night before ;-) so I gave thar a miss. Will definitely book again.

Nothing. Loved it all.

Fantastic room, much better than we expected. Beautiful interior design, felt like being in a vampire movie 🖤 Loved the gorgeous antique furniture and the colours of walls and drapery. The bathroom interior looked amazing. Bonus points for LIVE plants in the rooms! Coffee and tea station was very good 👍 The room had everything you could need while staying in a hotel. Everything was clean.

The noise from the pub live music night was a bit late and a bit much but you kind of expect it when you book a room above a lively pub anyway. It didn't ruin our stay there at all just something to be aware of. The paint on doors was all scratched and chipped but that was the only thing that seemed in need of attention.

Perfect location, the shambles and marks and Spencer's right at our doorstep. We stayed at the very top floor, didn't hear any noise from the bar at all. The most authentic York experience you could have, like being transported back in time. Once in a lifetime experience to be able to stay in such a historical building. Our room had a separate lounge area with a sofa. Four poster bed that we loved! Great water pressure in the shower. The floors aren't even, but that just added to the charm. Made for some wonderful memories. No ghostly experience unfortunately 😊

Only thing we could feedback on I suppose, was this almost sewerage smell emitting from the bathroom. I think it's to be expected given it's a really old building.

Wow!!! What a fabulous quirky spooky pub this is. Our stay was fantastic. All the staff were very helpful and pleasant to.The room we were in was Lady Pecketts room on the 3rd floor. The room and decor was stunning and in keeping with the pubs history and character. Nice and clean, bathroom was bigger than we expected to, which was a nice surprise to us. Great location across the road from The Shambles.Now did we experience anything spooky.....all I will say is yes !!! And more than likely we'll be back for more spooky Ness !!!! 👻
