We chose this property for it's location, right in the old part of York, which as fantastic. The room itself was noisy, over crowded with a few broken items. The sheets didn't fit the bed properly and kept coming off in the night making it quite uncomfortable.

There is really not anything positive I can say. The bed was terrible! Thin, bad quality mattress, thin lousy pillows. Noisy outside the window from the pub downstairs until after 1AM Door lock was hard to use, we almost locked ourselves in. Mold in the shower. Just don't do it! We loved the town of York, but had a miserable night in this "Hotel"

The Walkergate Inn was a fab little pub with rooms to stay at. The room I stayed in was fab for the night, with a double, TV, kettle with tea & coffee. A bathroom with shower. The room was safe & secure & a 3 minute walk from the main town centre. The staff I ment on check in/out were warm & friendly. I would definitely stay there again.

Staff were very nice. Accomodations did not match the pictures. Room was painfully small. There was no place to open luggage. Full bed took up most of the room. No lighting by bedside, only one light overhead. Shower head sprayed water outside of shower and drain was so slow that overflow threatened to spill over onto floor. Only one outlet available and teapot needed to sit on floor to plug in because of length of cord. Mattress very thin futon. We were miserable.

Excellent location. The staff in the pub were friendly and delightful. The room was clean. The double bed in room 7 needs a new mattress and a wood slate is underneath the bed and should be fixed. But overall a very pleasant stay for the one night.

basic one-night stay

Accommodating of late check-in, good parking. Good central location. Bed clean. Bathroom mouldy. Noise from other rooms/toilets very loud. No blackout curtains and broken blinds. Lots of daylight and potential for onlookers.

Rated on would I stay again. The answer would be no. Room was poor and the bathroom had mould on the ceiling, tiles and the shower hose and head needed a very good clean.

Very convenient location for exploring York. Surprisingly quiet considering it's above a pub. It was a bit dilapidated, but very clean. Couldn't get the TV to work, and felt awkward to ask for assistance, since there's no front desk, just the pub.
