Great hotel for overnight stay.

Great hotel and theme. Room was warm. Due to age of building air conditioning not available, fans provided however so thank you. Amazing location right next to The Shambles.

Lovely themed room! Check in was easy and convenient and in a prime location right on the Shambles.
Yasmin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely, quirky property, a unique experience. It was very hot outside and no opening window in room but air coolers kept it reasonably cool and also fridge in room to keep drinks cold. Great location right in the centre of everything, but wasn't disturbed by any noise. Good size room. Only negative was mattress wasn't great so didn't sleep too well, or maybe that was because of the ghosts.
Graham, 2-night trip

Location, location.

Great location, right in the City Centre. A small but very different room giving the feeling you have travelled back in time, but with a little modern comforts. Heating and fridge!! Expensive, but then so is all accommodation in York. Quirky, bit pleased we have ticked this one off our list of places to stay. Probably not suited to an extended stay, one or two nights only. But an experience. 👍
Nigel, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Easy access to the property using the self check in instructions sent to us prior to arriving. Upon entering our room in the property we couldn't help notice the smell of what i can only imagine is sewerage. The appearance and decor is really good and very detailed. I think the price of £190 per night is a bit steep for what you get and because of the bad smell we wont stay here again.
Terry, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location

The location is unbeatable but amenities were sparse - like towels - and it felt like the decor was more important than the comfort factor. The bed was uncomfortable, there were no pegs to hang up your 2 towels, and there was no air flow. Just a fan. It felt like more of an AirBnb than a hotel. If you’re looking for a place where there’s someone to greet you and help you with extra needs and/or recommendations- this is not the place to be.

Anniversary Stay

Such a quirky and unusual place. We had a 'spooky' wedding 2 years ago and it seemed fitting to celebrate our anniversary in such a witchy wonderland. We spotted something cool everytime we moved. The room was very comfortable and despite being close to a busy area you couldn't hear much when you were inside. Once you close the door to the main street the decor and sounds whisk you off to your own little magical bubble. We would highly recommend and definitely will be back!

Very awesome experience! Excellent location right in the middle of everything. We would love to stay here again.

Great experience

Fantastic hotel and the rooms are all great we loved our stay and would definitely stay again if we can, there’s no wonder this place is always booked up
Paddy, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Adorable room, fun theme, perfect location, clean! Only complaint was it was a bit hot and no central air conditioning. We enjoyed our stay in August. The property is aged but sort of goes with the theme. Overall, really enjoyed our stay and would recommend and stay again.

Most unique hotel I've ever stayed. Tight quarters, but very fun.
Christopher, 1-night trip

This is a cute little hotel! We really enjoyed the themed rooms and location. The one thing it could improve on is the quality of the bed but otherwise it was great.

Amazing, fun hotel stay

Right in the middle of the Shambles, this hotel couldn’t be more convenient. It is also wonderfully quirky and delightful. Well worth a stay.
Lawrence, 1-night trip

One night stay!

I went for a one night stay with my mum, we really enjoyed our stay and loved the theme of our room! We especially loved how the bunk beds looked like they were in a train carridge! It suited our idea of a Harry Potter trip, will definitely be coming back again.
Caroline, 1-night trip

Small but in a great location! Very quiet! Comfortable
Rebecca, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Cannot rate the staff, this is a self service hotel, but it’s really easy, you’ll get a couple of codes the day of your stay. The hotel is right in the heart of the shambles, as a tourist that’s exactly the area where you want to be. The hotel is like nothing that you ever have experienced before, I can guarantee it. Without spoiling your experience I will tell you that my hard-to-please teenager was flabbergasted with the experience, he said it’s in his top 5 hotels in the world.
