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.

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.

Overpriced and unclean

I really wanted to write a great review- the hotel is in a great location with friendly, welcoming staff on arrival. It is an old building in York but this shouldn’t mean that it’s acceptable to be cramped, unclean and lacking in basic room facilities. Positives- staff very amenable - the restaurant was full in a very rainy afternoon but they offered room service so we could eat. We couldn’t fault the food. Bed was fairly comfortable and room was warm. Areas to improve : cleanliness of the room. Pretty dirty with a very unclean toilet. Grubby shower, floors, windows and lacking in basic amenities - wardrobe, bedside table etc.. Had to boil the kettle on the floor as cable wouldn’t reach to socket, boiling hot water out of sink taps (there was a warning sign!). For the price of the room (£368 room only!) it really is terrible value and I wouldn’t recommend or stay again. I would have mentioned the issues to the staff but we weren’t asked how we found our stay.

Quirky Pub with rooms, lots of little eating area's and a large beer garden, bedroom was clean and tidy set just inside the city walls. Breakfast was freshly made and excellent and the food menu was varied and reasonable. Bar area is a little small and fills up at busy times , apart from that no other issues.

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.

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.
