Great hotel for overnight stay.

Great hotel and theme. Room was warm. Due to age of building air conditioning not available, fans provided however so thank you. Amazing location right next to The Shambles.

This is a cute little hotel! We really enjoyed the themed rooms and location. The one thing it could improve on is the quality of the bed but otherwise it was great.
Kay, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Right in the middle of the Shambles, this hotel couldn’t be more convenient. It is also wonderfully quirky and delightful. Well worth a stay.

Location, location.

Great location, right in the City Centre. A small but very different room giving the feeling you have travelled back in time, but with a little modern comforts. Heating and fridge!! Expensive, but then so is all accommodation in York. Quirky, bit pleased we have ticked this one off our list of places to stay. Probably not suited to an extended stay, one or two nights only. But an experience. 👍

Absolutely amazing. Such a change from your standard hotel. Very clean - couldn't fault anything. Will definitely be back

magical

This is a wonderful quirky little place. Really nice idea. Well executed to provide something different but in keeping with the York vibe. Highly recommend it if you want to something out of the ordinary.

Magically wonderful

Had the most magical stay at this hotel! I stayed in the sorceryum room and i felt like i had been transported back in time. My bed was so comfortable and i slept like a dream. Havnt stopped talking about this hotel since iv got back home, and many people now want to experience it for themselves. I will definitely be back
Kim, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The only thing that made me uneasy about staying at this ADORABLE hotel-we felt completely alone. We were emailed a passcode to enter the hotel and another code to enter our room. We never had any interaction with staff. We didn’t feel very safe because of this. The hotel itself is very magical-as if you are inside Hogwarts (Harry Potter).
Erin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This was a wonderfully unique property. This property can be noisy as there is a bar next door. We stayed on a Monday night so we had no issues. This property is very well done and the owners really took their time in setting up the decor. It’s location within the walls couldn’t be better. It iwas a quick walk from the train station. The rooms are quite small, but everything you need is there. We stayed in the librarium with our 2 older teenagers and it was just fine for a night. If you are looking for a unique place to stay, we would recommend this property to anyone looking to go to York.

En plein coeur de l’action mais nuit très tranquille….mais preparez-vous à dormir dans les chambres chaudes en été. Présence de ventilateurs pour aider. C est parfait pour une nuit. La place est très propre et facile d’accès! Informations pour l’arrivée sont tres claires.
Caroline, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location

The location is unbeatable but amenities were sparse - like towels - and it felt like the decor was more important than the comfort factor. The bed was uncomfortable, there were no pegs to hang up your 2 towels, and there was no air flow. Just a fan. It felt like more of an AirBnb than a hotel. If you’re looking for a place where there’s someone to greet you and help you with extra needs and/or recommendations- this is not the place to be.
