The quirkiness of the whole building, the room was super nice! Bit disorienting going to the loo in the dark with the floor sloping but I loved it. The en-suite was lovely and warm, the shower powerful and nice to have toiletries supplied. The bed was comfortable, a little too maybe as we were meant to be exploring, listening out for anything unusual but we slept like babies. The breakfast was delicious, certainly couldn’t eat all of it but anyone with a huge appetite would have been set for the day. Lots of choice and cooked really well. Location was great and not far at all for the QParking, felt the car was safe too. Staff were lovely, all friendly and we look forward to another stay in the future.

Nothing comes to mind, maybe that there were no ‘bumps in the night’ maybe next time.

It was a quirky/unique fantastic location room that was spotless. Staff were very friendly and able to get in and out anytime of the day and night as they gave you key food, and breakfast was very pleasant to would definitely stay again

My favourite place in York this and we've never stayed so decided we would this time. Love the feel of the place and how old and authentic it is , lots of ghost story's and we did actually see the scales in the bar move on there own one time but nothing on this occasion , we had the shambles room the staff were very welcoming nothing was too much trouble and brought an iron up to the room within minutes of me asking . Apparently the room has just been done out the bathroom is immaculate great shower really powerful and a stand alone bath but once again keeping that old authentic feel to it. Beautiful, the main room was just as nice tele in the Corner a nice sofa at the end of the bed and a nice soft carpet. Beautiful room one again with a really comfy double bed .well worth every penny . Will be back to try a different room next time .easily one of if not the best place I've stayed. Location was perfect too close to everything all the pubs and shops etc , even the car park was 4 minute walk.

If I had to say one thing and one thing only is we couldn't open the windows for fresh air so got a bit hot through the night there was a fan in the wardrobe though so I guess that's why lol ., I payed 28 quid for parking so throw in a free breakfast or discounted breakfast for that 😉 lol .

Alll the staff were very friendly and helpful. Always smiling and polite. Entering the room was a delight, so atmospheric with dimmed lighting, gorgeous bed and bits of quirkiness wherever ever you looked. The room at night was warm, the bed was so comfy even ghostly noises didn't keep us awake. Perfectly position at the bottom of the shambles you are central to all you need to do and see in York. Highly recommend a stay at The Golden Fleece.

Everything was perfect, not one complaint

I absolutely loved our room 'The Shambles'. So beautiful and with such quirky wonkiness. I felt so at home and slept better than i have slept for years. The bathroom - beautiful!!! The time you have in the morning for breakfast when the pub is shut, is nice so you can see the downstairs and all the marvels they have there in peace and quiet. The breakfast was pleasant. They swapped the fried eggs for poached eggs for us. All in all, i would definately stay there again, i would remember to take an extra bin bag, ( bins didn't get emptied ) A big tea mug, cos the cups are tiny, and your own supply of tea and coffee. I love love loved our room and how comfortable it is. Thank you Golden Fleece.

You definately feel like an inconvenience to the staff because the pub is so so busy. Check in was interesting because it was so busy, getting knocked about, and having to find our own way to our room, not knowing which one was actually ours. I love the fact you are basically left to your own devices, but when we asked the staff on 2 occasions for things, they never materialised. 1 was that we couldn't get the tv to work. The bar staff said he would send manager up, but forgot as he was so busy. Luckily my husband managed to retune everything and got it working. The next was on the 2nd morning we asked for more tea and coffee, and that never materialised either.

Very quirky pub with a moody atmosphere, perfect if you like that type of vibe, which we do. Staff were amazing, super friendly and attentive throughout our stay, and breakfast was perfect. The bed was really comfortable with good quality bed linen.

Although the bedroom decor was perfect for the feel of the room, it could have done with having a lamp in the corner of the room where the kettle was, very dark and difficult to see what you was doing. The bathroom door doesn’t lock or stay closed. The lock didn’t bother us, but would have liked the door to stay closed when using the bathroom.

The location is perfect in the centre of York and precisely why we wanted to stay there, being in the middle of history. The pub is so old and full of stories, it was fascinating and we loved every aspect of it. The room was fascinating, well equipped with facilities, gorgeously decorated and exciting to stay in. The staff were so lovely and friendly and really helpful with any queries. The bar was bustling and popular and the breakfast was just delicious and plentiful. Loved every second and we'll certainly be back to visit again.

As the building is so old, the back bar is sadly damp and the walls need some DIY TLC. Rubbish bags in the courtyard.

The Golden Fleece has the best location for the Christmas market and Shambles. A 5 min walk to York Minister and 15-20 min walk to the train station. Stonebow and Monk’s Cross bus stops are a 4 min stroll near the pub. The food is great and pub is always busy with people waiting to see a ghost or two. The staff are friendly and hospitable. The bathroom is very spacious in the deluxe room with the separate bedroom even bigger. A great place to stay in the summer to take in all that York has to offer.

Nothing not to dislike. As it is a very old and historic hotel, you stay here for the ambience.

Great staff, location and overall hotel/inn. Staff were lovely and helpful, offering to make breakfast after it had ended and to hold our bags. Originally went to visit as it was ‘haunted’ and whilst we didn’t see anything, the atmosphere and rooms certainly add to the spookiness. The bed was so comfy in the minster suite and overall good facilities. Would definitely recommend. :)

Nothing, was all good.

The room was immaculate, and the attention to detail when it came to cleaning was perfect. The tea facilities had more sugar and milk than most hotels. The room was very spacious and cosy, and it looked over the shambles, so the view was great. Being able to explore the bar at night was a very nice touch to the haunted aspect of the hotel, and the food was excellent, the best pub steak I've had.
