8/10 Very good

Excellent location very close to York Minster and convenient for the city centre attractions and shops. Hotel has an amazing historical connection to the gun powder plot.
Graham, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Quirky suite, rambles across most of the roof. Very low ceilings & lots of beams. Great Bath. Breakfast was good with GF options

6/10 Good

I know its a very old building but I don’t think it could be more non disabled friendly if it tried. Steps in, no disabled toilets, double flights of stairs to bedroom. Big step into shower. Lots of noise from other residents and york Minster bells in the morning. Staff were great though. Food exquisite. Room very hot and no way to open windows up fully.
colin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very historical and quaint with central access to tourist areas. Wi-fi signal was very poor and intermittent in the room which was also tired and poorly maintained. Great staff, location, historical quirkiness, but property undergoing scaffolded exterior maintenance as was nearby buildings allowed for early morning workman wake up calls! Good food, drinks, outdoor indoor ambience however, residence? Not so much.

4/10 Fair

On arriving it was tricky to locate the Property as Scaffolding is covering the front of the building, which wasnt the best first impression for a night away with my wife and I think this should have been clear when booking. Given the selection in York I would have picked another hotel had I known. Staff were very friendly. The room was nice and the bed great. When we arrived back at the property we realised the windows weren't locked and one of the windows can't be locked, which combined with the Scaffolding isn't ideal and made my wife nervous when going to bed. The pub, especially below room 4, was loud until 0030, so it wouldn't be good for anyone wanting an early night. Plug socket beside bed is faulty and the kettle didn't switch off causing boiling water to spill out over clothes and belongings on the table. Check out is 1100, but we were woke by kitchen/ bar noises, singing, at around 0800, so a lay in wasnt on the cards. Breakfast was great and I would eat there again.

Not For Me

The pictures of the room were adorable. I was excited to stay in such a historic and quaint place. But pictures cannot fully encapsulate the experience. I would not stay here again! I should have listened to some of the reviews warning of the uneven floors, crooked stairs, noisy chandelier, and smelly room. I felt like I was in a haunted house.

A wonderful historic experience

Wonderful stay, great City location, friendly staff, lovely room, very tastefully laid out considering the period of the building. Stay here if you want to enjoy a historic experience. The bed was so comfy and the pillows were like sleeping on clouds. Lots of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits in the room, can't fault the stay, look forward to staying here again.

10/10 Exceptional

This is what you hope for when you stay at a pub - history, beautiful location, walking distance to everything, comfortable bed, all the usual mod cons and a delicious breakfast. Of course, for anyone not familiar with staying in a pub, I want to highlight that it closes at 11pm. You will absolutely hear the noise from the pub before then, but the staff close up very efficiently and you can almost guarantee quiet from 11:10pm (which is rather rare and impressive!) The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the location and history cannot be beat - who wouldn't want to stay where a historical figure was born? And to be literally next to the Minster is an amazing bonus. Highly recommend for those comfortable with the late nights, and as you are there, you might as well join them until closing.

Guy Fawkes Inn was amazing, room was like the leaky cauldron and the bed was very comfy. Walkable to everything and will absolutely return again!

You won't get a better location for a stay in York. Overlooks York Minster and is on the very edge of York City centre. The accommodation itself is very York, with plenty of room and exceptional value for money. I've stayed at a few places in York, including The Grand and when I return I'll be coming back here.

Super central location, charming rooms

Really central location, lovely and kind staff, and a special place to stay! (Old, slanty floors and wavy glass windows provide charm!) We loved how close the hotel was to all the attractions, and the history of the location made it feel extra special!
