Location location location!!.
Pros:

The location was fabulous, everything was within a short walk.
The age and the quirkiness of the building was fabulous.
The room we had was gorgeous and the bed was very comfortable. Liked that there was fresh milk and bottled water for us in a mini fridge in the room.
The pub itself is nice inside with plenty of unusual objects to look at!
Unusual goings on... were they staged or truly down to the famous spirits! Intriguing...

Cons:

The staff didn't seem to want to be there, not very enthusiastic.
Our room, as beautiful as it was, was neglected. Dust everywhere, a bit of dust can be excused, but it didn't look like it had a proper clean for a long time!
No heating!! There were radiators but they didn't work. An electric portable heater was left in the room, so I had that going to take the chill off!
The plumbing has a mind of it's own, the shower turned itself on whilst we were sat in the bedroom and the bath turned itself off midway through me running it!
I awoke in the middle of the night to the sound of banging and what sounded like furniture being dragged about! Could all of this been down to the ghosts I wonder? Or was it a staged theatrical show for the guests? I actually didn't mind the 'spooky' goings on, however, could the ghosts be trained to clean the rooms I wonder!
Breakfast was just ok really, nothing special.
For what we paid, nearly £300 per night, I'd have expected a warm, clean room and excellent food and service.

Great location in the heart of York and full of history.
Pros:

The location was excellent and the history was outstanding

Cons:

Quite noisy at night when the police had to arrest a couple of people outside our window. ( not the golden fleece’ problem at all. Just unlucky.)

Pros:

Staff were great .... Especially the young lady at breakfast service, she was so smiley and friendly. Great to see nightly entertainment. The twin room I shared with my friend was amazing .... there are only 4 rooms, please keep at least one room as a twin room, don't make them all double rooms.

Cons:

I feel its a bit pricey to stay at the Inn, is this because of the attraction of the spooky spirits .... just dont over price because cash is tight for everyone....

Haunted York
Pros:

Two night stay, great location, excellent food, friendly staff.
Room was as expected for such an old building, sloping floors, low door, banged head a few times, much to my wife's amusement.
Definitely haunted according to my wife.
Only thing my wife found difficult, was the lighting was a bit dim.
Would stay again.

Cons:

Banging my head.

Wonderful stay at a great price and location.
Pros:

Breakfast was freshly made for each person and was wonderful. Service was friendly and we enjoyed our stay. The hotel combines a pub with live music with a number of guest rooms. The rooms were quiet. It has a Ghost theme and is very convenient for walking about medieval York. There is a parking garage only a couple of blocks away for easy parking. Would definitely stay here again.
