We go to York in December every year, it’s a beautiful city and we love it. This was our first time staying at the Guy Fawkes inn. We were in room 9, at the top of the outside staircase leading up from the courtyard. The room is described as de-luxe - definitions of de-luxe include “grand, luxurious, opulent, sumptuous”. I’m afraid it did not meet any of these descriptions. The bathroom was tiny, the tiles were cracked, the shower caddy was broken, there was a large electrical box on the wall that could have been boxed in, the wall and door paint was chipped in places, and there was not enough storage. On the second night the bathroom mirror fell off the wall! Having said all that the staff were lovely, the service was great and they dealt with the fallen mirror very quickly. The pub itself is very atmospheric and cosy. We had a meal in the cosy restaurant which was great. It’s such a pity that the room didn’t match up to the pub and dining experience. We definitely wouldn’t stay there again but would go for a meal.…

Couldn’t have been made more welcome. We went with our two dogs and had booked to sit in the heated outside garden but there was a table in the snug so we sat in there instead. Couldn’t fault the food and service. We all had a roast beef Sunday dinner, the sirloin of beef was tasty and tender, all the veg was cooked to our liking and there was plenty of gravy. Thank you so much.

My husband and I had a very pleasant time in this small inn. The bar area was very busy but we were soon seated. I had the steak pie which was one of the best I have had. My husband had the smokey burger which although nice was a bit disappointing as it had tomato on it which was both mentioned on the menu. I had the chocolate orange fondant which was delicious and we both had the humous starter which we both enjoyed. Overall a very pleasant evening and we definitely would come here again.

Staying in this historical pub made our experience in York extra special. The room was clean and warm, and the staff were very friendly. Close to tourist attractions and right next to the York Minster made our stay extra special.

Went here on 6th November for a night cap after a meal - this place had a very nice atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and they serve a good selection of drinks. There is an outside area - heated but we stayed in the bar area. We went back there on the 8th November late evening and stayed till closing

The pictures of the rooms are not a fair representation of the room we were given. The decor was cheap, old and in much need of refurbishment . The bathroom was very grubby, the ceiling had mould on, the paint on the radiator was chipped and rusty. The small shelf in the shower cubicle was broken so could not use to put toiletries on it. In the bedroom there is a big ugly electrical box on the wall that should be boxed in. I could go on but I think you get the general gist! The noise in the room from the pub below was also very loud. We told member of staff our concerns, she was not particularly helpful, terrible customer service. This room cost £269 for the night, that didn't even include breakfast, in our opinion that is grossly overpriced. We will definitely not return to this hotel or recommend it to anyone.…
