The hotel is an old building with a great sense of time. There is a large lawn outside, and it is good to take pictures and daze outside when there is sunshine. The room is small, especially the bathroom, very old feeling, outdated facilities, poor drainage. There is a distance to the Old Town of York. We are self-supporting. We found a parking lot near the city wall. It costs 6.4 pounds for 2 hours. It seems to be. I went to the Betty Tea Room and waited for a while. Tea is good, dessert is average.

Just left this little gem, really could not fault it. Everything you need right there even a bottle opener near the pod door. Very tranquil all the amentities you need and York centre only 4 miles away with a local taxi firm or nearby bus stop to take you in. The pods are spacious clean beds so so comfy we wish we had booked a week just for the great nights sleep. Barbeque facilities if you need to borrow and a little room with a fridge microwave etc if needed. Everything at your fingertips left feeling refreshed content and fulfilled with our stay , it really is the perfect little get away bless you little hide xx

It's a typical hostel, but it's cheap, clean, and the staff are kind. Difficult points are about 30 minutes walk from the station, difficult to manage valuables because it is a hostel, and no breakfast.

We booked as we visited family and it was a bank holiday , and it happened to be race weekend - so it was the only place that wasn’t charging a crazy amount. For that reason I can’t knock the very basic, small and outdated room. But the cleanliness was appalling! The give away should have been when we were shown the room and the host actually asked my partner to remove the previous guests luggage for her!!!! There was mould, stains on the bed, grime in the shower, grime in the fridge - it was about as bad as I’ve seen. Only giving 1 star for location.

Comfortable, free parking, good service, good breakfast! Pay attention to the bathroom is relatively thin, foreign water pressure is relatively fine!

Last minute get away. Location, Price, and accept at a charge - good Cleanliness- good Parking charged at 5 pounds a day Room and furniture very tired and shabby. Uncomfortable beds. Stained non black out curtain that look like they have blood stains on them...as per photos. No room blinds so early sunlight. Hallway carpet threadbare, and stale smoke smell downstairs. Just a two night stay but considered leaving after first night. However due to meeting family in York the following lunch time, that we'd not seen in a while we had to stay the extra night. If it would have been for three nights we'd have definitely left after night two. On last day we checked out early to get home. In all not a pleasant place to stay. We won't be returning.

My wife and I traveled from California for a UK excursion and spent several days in South Kensington prior to visiting York. We took a train from London to York and Ubered from the York train station which we could have walked from had we not had luggage. We absolutely loved this hotel! All room amenities had been upgraded and were modern while preserving the 150 year old feel, including a lovely four post bed. Given the rooms were somewhat tight, the bathrooms were large with full shower/bathtubs and frankly I loved the set up. The down pillows and down comforters were a huge plus which allowed us to stay toasty while letting in the brisk Yorkshire air from the open window. If you are looking for spacious/ modern then go stay in Leeds. This is York for heavens sake so experience it in all its beauty. Modernity is not what this experience is about. There is an on-sight restaurant and bar where service was exceptional. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. York Minister/Shambles/ train station and restaurants are all within walking distance. I highly recommend No. 1 by Guesthouse and sign up for a late night Ghost Tour in the citadel if you get a chance. A big plus was the second floor complimentary snacks where we went down late at night to fetch ice cream, crisps, and drinks if we had the munchies. It was a nice touch and highly welcoming.
