I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy with a hotel. In addition to the perfect, convenient location and good value, the staff was so kind and the room so charming and thoughtful. I wish I had more than one night!

The Fat Badger is a small compact establishment right beside the city wall and a block from the Minster. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly.

Lovely old building in the heart of old York. Room was nice although I’ve slept in more comfortable beds- I prefer a firmer mattress. Breakfast was excellent with good quality products. May not be suitable for people with mobility issues.

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.

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.

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.

A unique hotel in York. Great location close to The Minster, the Wall, the Shambles and the Art Gallery. Good restaurant on site but also many other dining options nearby.
Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024

10/10

Only stayed one night but staff were very kind and it’s in a great location. The building is beautiful and the bed was really comfy. The pub has a great beer garden too. One thing to say (& this is common for the architecture across York) is that the doorways can be quite small and a bit of a hazard if you’re tall!
Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024

Great, stairs a bit of a challenge and a bit of road noise in early morning if at front but otherwise accommodation, staff and food absolutely great! Location perfect too!
