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.

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.

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.

Access to room was nearly dangerous. Old property in perfect location. Room comfortable but access difficult. I think they had other rooms.

We loved our stay once we found it as had problems accessing it by car in the dark, no parking and need to use carpark quite a distance to walk from the hotel.
The room was quirky and the bed very comfortable and cosy. Staff were very helpful and food lovely.

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!

This was a very cute and fun place to stay at the end of our trip to England. The staff is so friendly and our room was comfortable. The spaces in the hallways were quite tight, but we enjoyed the rustic feel of the place and our English breakfasts. Very convenient to sightseeing, as it is right down the block from incredible York Minster.

Had an overnight stay at the Fat Badger. Lovely service and good food and great location but not great sleep. Late night revelry and early morning keg deliveries make not for a good night’s sleep. Better glass in windows could help!

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.

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.
