Enjoyed a one night stay, room was nice and comfortable. Hotel is lovely with a hidden secret beer garden which is next to the historic wall. Had a fantastic full english breakfast - would recommend The Fat Badger.

Lovely bed and breakfast and pub
Lovely old building in the heart of old York. Room was nice although I’ve slept in more comfortable beds- I prefer a firmer mattress. Breakfast was excellent with good quality products. May not be suitable for people with mobility issues.

Best place for exploring York, so convenient for walking, shopping, so close to York minster and the Shambles. A fabulous hotel with great history.
Winston, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Not only did we enjoy our lodging at the Fat Badger but the meals we had there were fabulous as well. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us during their busy holiday season. The property is cozy and convenient to the city center and we couldn’t have been happier with the staff. We had a lovely stay.

What a great location right inside the city wall. Convenient parking near the location and great staff and loved the beer garden.
Lori, 2-night trip

Ideal for Christmas Markets
Stayed three days for the Christmas Markets. Accommodation was expensive and not justified as the room was in average condition. Bed was very comfortable and the location was excellent.
Peter, 3-night trip

Wonderful atmosphere and very easy walking distance to all the main attractions.
Charlotte, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We loved the view outside our window of the old city gate, it was so close we felt we could reach out the window and touch it!. The room was comfortable and the staff helpful. Would recommend for an atmospheric stay.

A well situated location, close to all the beauty of York. Staff were really friendly and bedrooms were clean. Highly recommend if coming to York.

Great location and place to stay
Only stayed one night but staff were very kind and it’s in a great location. The building is beautiful and the bed was really comfy. The pub has a great beer garden too. One thing to say (& this is common for the architecture across York) is that the doorways can be quite small and a bit of a hazard if you’re tall!
Sam, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved our stay once we found it as had problems accessing it by car in the dark, no parking and need to use carpark quite a distance to walk from the hotel. The room was quirky and the bed very comfortable and cosy. Staff were very helpful and food lovely.
June, 1-night trip

A unique hotel in York. Great location close to The Minster, the Wall, the Shambles and the Art Gallery. Good restaurant on site but also many other dining options nearby.

Excellent!!!
Beautiful room lots of character. Tasty breakfast and friendly staff. The only downside was our room was the 4th floor and steep stairs could be an issue with mobility.
Suzanne, 2-night trip

Great Stay in York
This was a very cute and fun place to stay at the end of our trip to England. The staff is so friendly and our room was comfortable. The spaces in the hallways were quite tight, but we enjoyed the rustic feel of the place and our English breakfasts. Very convenient to sightseeing, as it is right down the block from incredible York Minster.

If I visit York again, I'd stay here again
The location was great, minutes from the shambles and many places to eat and drink. Breakfast was amazing and the staff was very friendly!
