Pros:

Location was o.k.

Cons:

Not until booked in, were we told food was not available (so had to go out for food in the evening). Parking was extra, but there was no mention on any of my printed paperwork of that!, when I questioned I was told it was clear when booking (sure it was not ). Room was tired and bathroom was not clean.

Pleasant stay, decent breakfast with friendly staff
Pros:

If grade II listed building are your thing then this place could well be up your street

Cons:

It’s looking a little dated. Paint peeling off window frames, bath tub had three repair holes in it. Wasn’t impressed with my early morning call which I thought was a racehorse going to the toilet at 6am on my first morning but that’s one downside of having a room directly above that appears to have the toilet located overhead of your bed.
Thought charging £15 a night to park in the car park was a bit steep. This extra charge was not flagged up by booking.com until we had made our reservation. The price of parking was not known until we checked in

Friendly staff anc comfortable stay.
Pros:

Have stay in this property previously, staff friendly and helpful. Room was very comfortable, used the buses to access York City Centre.

Cons:

In general all was good, however some of the decoration was tired, the towel rail in the bathroom was rusting, and the shower sprayed onto the bathroom floor. It was busy at breakfast but did appear to waiting over half a for cooked breakfast. Staff were apologetic.

Ok.
Pros:

Walking distance to city centre via riverbank.

Cons:

Paying for parking. If I am your guest it should be free and to charge me is profiteering.
