I enjoyed a one night stay here in April as a birthday treat from my boyfriend. The room was gorgeous. We were in the room directly above reception which had great views over the Minster. We arrived in York a few hours before check in time but the staff were very accommodating and let us leave our suitcase while we... More

Nice place, great location, but not quite as good as it's sister, The Lamb and Lion. Restaurant was excellent, but rooms and outside area not as good. Would stay again though. More

I was a little apprehensive of staying here as I think the pictures look a little dark and it was above a pub but I was pleasantly surprised! The location is fabulous almost opposite the Minster which is stunning! We had a room facing the courtyard at the back and I was worried about noise. But the courtyard closes around... More

A lovely quirky inn full of character. We enjoyed our meal but I have to say the mash was rather dry and we could not eat it all. However my fish filo and my husbands steak pie were very tasty. The waitresses were polite and friendly All in all not the best meal we have ever had but worth a... More

Stayed for two nights and had a great time the location is great the only slight problem is getting to the Hotel as the roads are closed at certain times but we parked near by and walked to check in and get our car park pass. The hotel has some small faults but this adds to the hotel in a... More

My wife and I stayed at the Guy Fawkes Inn for two (mid-week) nights primarily because of its fantastic location within 200 yards of York Minster - which we wished to visit. We were a bit hesitant about staying in the Inn because it is definitely quirky with candles providing most of the (dim) lighting in the bar and restaurant.... More

I was born on the 5th November (many years ago) and have been trying to book into the Inn for about 2 years now and was NOT disappointed We had... More

Chose this place based on its location and it's quirkiness. The room was large and comfortable and my husband (who is a builder) loved the lack of symmetry and uneven floors etc. but ..... The bar is tiny with no chance of getting a seat (not helped by the fact that there is minimal seating available). When you enter the... More

This is an inn with a difference. It would be safe to assume that no 2 rooms are the same due to the layout of the building, and the various angles of the floors! It is perfectly positioned directly across from York Minster whose bells provide you with probably the most historic morning alarm call. Whilst there is no car... More
