We had the Attic room which was lovely but access a little difficult especially with suitcases. The velux windows just needed a little clean.

The location was perfect for exploring York. The staff were all very friendly and attentive. The hotel building is very quirky and we enjoyed our two night stay.

Great location, very friendly & super helpful staff, comfy bed and breakfast was perfect! We had dinner & drinks on our first night which was all lovely ☺️

Stayed in April 2024

The room suffered from a lot of noise from the fans from the kitchen. However these were turned off when the kitchen closed, so it didn't really affect my sleep.

Attractive property, good food and drink. Breakfast was very impressive. Staff very accommodating.

Cosy hotel, friendly helpful staff. Room lovely - clean and nicely decorated. comfortable bed. I had a double room despite travelling alone - was fine for me but may have been a bit of a squeeze for two. Location was perfect for the city centre - all sights within walking distance - really handy. Can't comment on the food as did not eat in during my stay. Would be happy to stay again and very happy to recommend

The Fat Badger is the perfect location right in the centre of York. It is so close to the Minster and it was a joy to able to hear the bells chime! Dinner was excellent - the Badger Burger comes highly recommended accompanied by perfect golden chips!

The hotel is definitely in need of refurbishment and therefore a little scruffy; poor state of decoration and various things that don't work. That said, the staff were very pleasant and did their best to help where they could.

The Fat Badger is located perfectly for anyone wanting to explore all that York has to offer.

Bathroom was tiny

Ideal location and very comfortable beds

The stairs up to the top floor would put me off returning again , tbh it stopped us returning to our room throughout the day .

Good location

Room 7 window did not fit properly and single glazed making for a noisy room although the area is fairly quiet anyway.

Very good breakfast, in general homely, relaxed and pleasant stay.

Narrow staircase to get up to room with a case, slightly awkward windows (had ro be careful the wind didn't take them), room was quite warm for the time of year although I did use the fan provided.

Quirky and fun decor, lovely smiling staff, great food (especially the breakfast) and a brilliant location literally just up the road from amenities and the stunning York Minster and the Shambles. I had a garden view which overlooked the beer garden and some of the city walls which was nice.

The room we booked was a superior double room, the bed was comfortable but the room was a little "tired" Hooks on the back of doors would be useful

The location was fantastic. All of the staff were very friendly & helpful & made us feel very welcome Breakfast was great

Stayed in March 2024

I was in the standard double room with very small bathroom. Difficult to move or know where to put things. Some hooks would be helpful. My friends in the Deluxe room had a spacious well fitted bathroom.

The bed was extra comfortable and staff exceptional

All was good

Excellent location and great value for money! Lovely beer garden in the city centre

The hotel has too many stairs and anyone with a walking disability would not enjoy it

I was in the centre of York and all the attractions were a short walk away

Stayed in March 2024

No negatives

The fact it was an old building but the facilities were modern Perfect distance into city centre

Stayed in February 2024

You could hear lots of noise from staircase and outside.

It had lots of character and the location was excellent!

Quite a small, dark room

Good location

Stayed in February 2024

Only low lighting. The dark walls are ‘romantic’ and atmospheric but then the use of electricity is constant!

The location is ideal for tourists. The bed was very comfortable. The shower room is a good size and pleasant.

Well-located, charming, lovely staff, great food.

The very dark grey or perhaps very dark green wall and paint decorations throughout are certainly not to our taste but this may be an 'age' thing. The single bedside light was a detraction and there was little room in the bathroom for personal grooming and toiletries. Only one hand towel was provided.

Reception was inviting, very pleasant and accommodating staff, particularly Debbie; superb battered haddock and chips at dinner which would test the size of one's appetite.

The windows do not close properly which made the outside noise sound like it was in the room with us especially when the bins were emptied early hours in the morning and a delivery turning up with barrels of beer at 6am. However we do appreciate this is a very old building and the bins/delivery may only happen on a Monday morning had we been staying another night I would have asked this question and requested to move room if possible.

The Fat Badger is in an excellent location. The room was very pleasant and comfortable for our stay.
