Pros:

The Golden Fleece is walking distance to everything you want to see. Minutes from the Shambles and across the street from M&S . So if you have forgotten and need anything they have it. The pub itself is cute and cozy, the food is really yummy and they have live music every night. Breakfast is included and it's made fresh , so no buffet. The beds are really comfortable and the room itself has everything you need.

Cons:

They do have old stairs and the floors are uneven. But this is clearly stated and the building is 500 years old so that is to be expected.

Increible!
Pros:

El lugar es increíble. Tiene todo lo necesario para alojarse cómodamente, tener todas las atracciones de York caminado.
La habitación espectacular así como la atención que recibimos. El bar de la planta baja complementa todo lo anterior!
De seguro volveremos!

Pros:

Slightly expensive but worth every penny. You will love the feeling of the old building and whatever might come with it. The stories are great and wandering around after hours raises the hairs on your neck! We enjoyed the music until close and being able to just go to bed in the pub is a fun experience.

Cons:

Everything was fantastic

Pros:

Great location, spooky as promised. Great live music and lovely bar.

Cons:

The full English on the first day was poor, greasy and cheap ingredients. The second day the staff made us eggs and bacon on toast and that was lovely .

Spooky anniversary
Pros:

Loved the sloping room along with decor and furniture, it was like stepping back to olden times, although very clean and comfortable.

Cons:

We visited when works were ongoing for new toilets, which meant breakfast wasn't available. Will have to try again.

Golden Fleeced
Pros:

(Stayed in minster room) The bathroom was spotless. Lovely view. Food was average.Staff were all really nice.

Cons:

Step into rear bar was treacherous (an accident waiting to happen, needs clearer sign posting) Room was dusty and plants were dead. Considering price per night I feel that this should have been impeccably clean. Canopy was dusty too.
