Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Stay was ok, there was no hairdryer in the room and only a diffuser attachment in the drawer. Didn’t like that I could only check out from 8am as I needed to leave earlier. Overall stay was fine
Stayed for 2 nights, check in was easy including the car in their carpark. Staff very friendly and helpful. Room was exactly as expected. Only a short walk to York centre (15 mins to Jorvik viking centre, 17 mins to The Shambles).

Everything just needed a good clean and a lick of paint. The pub itself was a typical & friendly and fun pub. Staff were lovely. A big group of us are there one evening else, which was nice. The local steak pie they serve was amazing, just not very warm. A jug of gravy heated it up a bit more. For £125 a night it was disappointing. The bathroom constantly had a damp, mould smell. I couldn’t see any mould but the smell was so overpowering I had to keep the window open. There was dust over every surface. The kettle was placed on the high mantle but the power cable didn’t reach the socket unless you put the kettle on the bedside table. Having parking was a huge bonus. Tea and coffee in the room was a bonus once the kettle was resituated. The bed was comfy, plenty of pillows. Headboard had dubious stains over it. Towels were clean and enough for 2. I just felt like there were so many simple things that could have made it better. Air freshener and a good wipe down with a damp cloth would have worked wonders.

The Lighthorseman York.
Checking is at 2pm and not before as the hotel does not open until then. Not possible to leave bags anywhere if you happen to arrive early. Not close to anything really. We had to Uber anywhere we went. When we did check in we were told our room was up stairs, yes up stairs, not just one flight but two. The top flight had no handrails what so ever. WiFi was useless. Breakfast and dinner at the hotel were good. Room was dated but larger than we expected.

Staying here will be "rough sledding" in the hot summer months. No fans in the rooms, sluggish housekeeping, and old spring mattresses. The plus side is location, neighborhood, a relatively quiet bar for getting work done, and privacy (from little housekeeping). Maps are deceiving. This hotel is *not* an accessible walk to the university.
stayed 2 nights Dan and his team very good 2 x breakfast full English very tasty and filling would recommend the pasta linguine with roast chicken for dinner very tasty very good choice off real ale nothing to much trouble very good standard
The bathroom smelled like raw sewage. When having a shower the water smell like raw sewage & after having a shower you smelt like raw sewage. Definitely what we're going back again. !!!
