    Had the most scrumptious steak and ale pie during dinner, and the charming outdoor area was a perfect hangout spot.

    tasty breakfast
    great beer garden
    friendly staff
    leaky shower
    poor soundproofing

    The breakfast was banging, particularly the fresh and tasty options, making mornings delightful! Plus, the beer garden vibe was top-notch, perfect for winding down after a day of exploring. Can't forget the friendly breakfast staff who had us laughing—absolute gems!

    The shower situation was a bit dodgy, leaking into the floor below, leading to a surprise wake-up call! Soundproofing could've been better too, with street noise creeping in.

    off wine

    Amazing spot with a fab vibe!

    This place is a gem! The beer garden is perfect for sunny days and the staff are super friendly. Had a lovely meal – the food’s got solid flavor, though it can be a bit on the pricey side sometimes. The Attic room is quiet and comfy with a spa bath, but I noticed my wine wasn’t quite fresh. Still a solid choice!

    beautiful view
    quality meals
    distracting noise
    light sleepers
    small inconveniences

    An excellent spot, close to the city walls and just a short walk from a famous landmark. The recently renovated bathroom added a touch of luxury, and the kettle in the room was a nice convenience. While the creaking floorboards contributed to the character, they might be distracting for light sleepers, and some street noise was noticeable at night. the lovely view from the window and the quality of the meals made it a memorable experience.

    great location
    warm room

    Just back from an awesome group trip! The location was perfect, and we loved visiting Castle Howard. The staff were friendly, and the breakfast was delicious. The beer garden had a great vibe, perfect for hanging out after a day of exploring. Don't miss the complimentary water and snacks in the room!

    Our room was quite warm since we couldn’t open the windows much on a hot day, which made it uncomfortable, especially at night.

    Great place for family stay!

    We had a lovely stay here! It was super close to everything, just an 8-min walk from the station. The staff were really nice and switched our room to the first floor since I have mobility issues, which was a big help. The room itself was comfy, although the window didn't open properly. Nice little bar area too!

    My family and I enjoyed a lovely stay at The Fat Badger. The room had a charming Victorian feel and the atmosphere was welcoming. Staff provided excellent service and the breakfast options were delightful. Some street noise disrupted our sleep, but the overall experience was wonderful.

    tasty breakfast
    small room

    Had a blast with friends here! We explored Castle Howard, which was stunning, and enjoyed the lively atmosphere nearby. The breakfast was fresh and tasty, the staff were friendly, and the location couldn't be better for sightseeing.

    The only downside was that our room was quite small and I found it hard to get comfortable at times.

    perfectly placed for parks and historical landmarks

    I loved the excellent location, as we were just a few steps from the beautiful York Museum Gardens and a short walk to the stunning Clifford's Tower, making it easy to soak in the city's rich history. plus, the cozy bar downstairs was a great spot to unwind after our explorations.

    charming stay with some quirks

    The Executive Double Room offered a quirky charm unlike any other. The garden view from our room added a lovely touch to our experience.

    Some aspects felt slightly outdated.

    noisy room
    limited plug sockets

    The Fat Badger has a great location with friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere. the room was noisy from the street, and I was disappointed with the lack of a phone and limited plug sockets. It was nice enough for a short stay, but be aware of the stairs.

    Comfort in the heart of York

    Had a fab time chillin' in this cozy spot! Staff were super helpful, and checking in was a breeze. We loved the big window in our room – it let in loads of natural light. Just a heads-up, the wifi kinda sucked upstairs. Breakfast was delish too, a solid full English to start the day!
