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.

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.

Room was fine, though bathroom had a smell of damp in it. Location was great for city centre but it was really noisy. Bin wagon at 5am outside room, street sweeper at 6am, bottle bank at 7am!

So, so disappointed! Thought it would be a treat to stay in this old charming building. The room was so small we had to crawl across the bed to sleep and bathroom was down a long dark hallway. Very dark decor and poor lighting. The worst part was the NOISE! On a main street just inside the old Roman gate where the party crowd congregate. Horrible noises from garbage collectors and those stocking the bar rolling and banging metal kegs in the wee hours. While convenient to the old city, resist the temptation to stay here, I am so sorry to say.

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.

Fat Badger
The Fat Badger was a quaint 12 room hotel located inside the city walls of York. Location was very good within walking distance to York Minster and many historic sites. The restaurant and secret garden location were both very good. The hotel is close to local pubs and the street is loud on weekends.

Expensive for what it was
Difficult stairway access to bedroom- almost dangerous. Hotel was very dark and not very inviting. No hooks or soap tray in bathroom. No drawspace. Expensive for what it was. On the plus side- great location,v. Good breakfast and helpful staff

Quirky hotel with character but wouldn’t use again. Our bedroom had windows overlooking the beer garden and a footpath which allowed people to look straight in to the bedroom and bathroom so privacy was an issue as the only way to block this was to bring the blinds right down. Breakfast was average too. The location however was great.

The property is in the heart of York, the staff is incredibly helpful and nice, Bella is the best. There are few thing that I didn’t like:, the color of the walls is black, and makes the room look smaller and gloomy, the shower is very dangerous, there is a big step to do to go in and out, and the bottom of it it’s extremely slippery, I risked my life every night and also it doesn’t have a surface where you can put the soap or the shampoo on it, so it is very uncomfortable. But other than that the place is clean, the restaurant is adorable with a beautiful garden in the back, the food and drinks are delicious, and the staff is super, we had a great stay.
