6/10 Good

This hotel was a little dated, i emailed them before to see if we could park there noone got back to me, therefore we ended paying £23 for parking

Lovely stay

Stayed here for one night - great room, comfy bed, clean en-suite. Easy self check in and staff were very accommodating to requests. Definitely stay here again.

Lovely staff and food

We stayed for 1 night as a halfway stop en route, the staff were extremely helpful and polite. Unfortunately the facilities in the room were lacking, the bed was very low and the tiny shower door didnt open fully i had requested a low floor room because i have mobility issues at the moment, but was placed up a flight of stairs. They need to make it absolutely clear on their website that they are not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. The food was really good as was the beer.

The place itself was lovely a little dated in the bedrooms but so clean, short walk to the shambles, food at the hotel was fantastic excellent price, can recommend the Eggs Benedict for breakfast, outside lovely seating area right by the river and last but not least staff are so welcoming very attentive 5 star service will be going back again

The Walkergate Inn was a fab little pub with rooms to stay at. The room I stayed in was fab for the night, with a double, TV, kettle with tea & coffee. A bathroom with shower. The room was safe & secure & a 3 minute walk from the main town centre. The staff I ment on check in/out were warm & friendly. I would definitely stay there again.

Comfortable Stay

Happy with our stay.
Fathima, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

There is really not anything positive I can say. The bed was terrible! Thin, bad quality mattress, thin lousy pillows. Noisy outside the window from the pub downstairs until after 1AM Door lock was hard to use, we almost locked ourselves in. Mold in the shower. Just don't do it! We loved the town of York, but had a miserable night in this "Hotel"

8/10 Very good

Excellent location. The staff in the pub were friendly and delightful. The room was clean. The double bed in room 7 needs a new mattress and a wood slate is underneath the bed and should be fixed. But overall a very pleasant stay for the one night.
Monica, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fun & friendly.

Our stay was brilliant the staff were fantastic & so friendly. I was unaware that there was on site free parking so I ended up paying but other than that it was an excellent stay.

Away with friends

I stayed here with 3 other friends and we had an amazing time nothing was too much for the staff at the Inn. Next time I would love to stay in one of the shepherds huts
CATHERINE, 2-night trip

Liked the inn. The staff was wonderful. The premises could use a little updating.
J Kelly, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was very friendly and the room clean and warm. Town centre with all the shops and places to visit are very close, just a short walk.

8/10 Very good

The staff here was so nice! It isn't in the most scenic part of the city, but it was safe enough and the property was fine. There is a lovely deck outside overlooking a canal. If you are looking for a good deal that is a short walk from the more historic areas, this is a good choice.
Jenny, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very convenient location for exploring York. Surprisingly quiet considering it's above a pub. It was a bit dilapidated, but very clean. Couldn't get the TV to work, and felt awkward to ask for assistance, since there's no front desk, just the pub.
Elizabeth, 1-night trip

Great price, great location friendly service. Room is small but doesnt matter for a weekend away it was clean and did the job
