Unfriendly staff. Cheap & nasty self-service 'continental breakfast' ingredients with no staff to hand. No phone in bedrooms. No hairdriers provided. Showerhead would not stay attached in my ensuite. Uncomfortable mattress on bed which squeaked continuously. Truly dreadful.

It is disgusting. Dirty is not good enough to discribe how filthy the room,resturant,stairs.carpet and bed were. We booked ahead for 2 nights so it was already paid. The shower was off the wall if you wanted to attempt to wash in the dirty bathroom. We were given a room at the front of the run down pub. The smokers... More

Stayed here whilst meeting an old friend to go and see a gig in York, Nice location just a ten minute walk into town. Extreme lack of parking at the rear. Room very basic, door on cabinet was hanging off which made it easier to see what was in it, but they did provide a bin to keep it shut... More

Really enjoyed our visit to York a truely fantastic city. The friendly welcome in the hotel added to the experience. The Gourmet food in the Hotel,s restaurant was magic. Although no snacks are served you can experience another gourmet treat by trying the pork pies from the next door butcher/deli, wash it down with a pint of cider also magic.... More

As a cheap stay in York The Old Grey Mare is well located. The rooms are very small though and nothing seemed to work in the shower room properly. Cleanliness is obviously not a top priority at this inn either. The breakfast was quite good and we thoroughly enjoyed the Indian meal we had in the attached restaurant. We booked... More

We had a enjoyable stay and the Old Grey Mare, friendly staff and the Indian restaurant (Gate of India) was a perfect way to end the day. The pub is within easy walking distance (10 mins) to city centre. Our room was comfortable enough but if you want sparkling cleaniless it may not be for you. The bathrooms could do... More

Search for 'Budget accommodation' in York and you don't get too many options. FACT. The Old Grey Mare - a pub with rooms - on one of the main roads into town offers that AND DELIVERS! The rooms were clean and well appointed. OK, so the extractor fan went on a bit too long; the bed was a bit hard... More

Having read other reviews we didn't really know what to expect but were pleased with our stay. It's in an excellent location & only a short walk from the city centre. The room was clean, nice hot shower & tv on the wall. Yes, its a little shabby but for what we paid it was good value for money. Staff... More
