The room had everything you could need for your stay. Decorated perfectly, and the whole experience from first opening the door left us appreciative of the effort put in. Thanks to Camelia, our stay was enhanced and supported and we can’t wait to return. ##### STEFANO Stayed 1 night in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fiona Feb 9, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were respectful on arrival and acknowledged when we came even though they were busy cleaning was a bonus to have early check in and the room theme was gorgeous ! it was unique however played in well to the history of york Room was clean and amazing central location.

No room on my side of bed to put a drink or anything.Great location and quiet room. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2d089d2f-06d7-48ac-bb12-48838136ff15-1772714192661.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/58b66f8e-0597-47de-a44b-ac6fcba4cbfc-1772714192638.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/07496ba8-6cfc-4a55-b1ae-a9b130697086-1772714193264.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Julie Stayed 1 night in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joel May 14, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very awesome experience!

We had a 'spooky' wedding 2 years ago and it seemed fitting to celebrate our anniversary in such a witchy wonderland. We spotted something cool everytime we moved. The room was very comfortable and despite being close to a busy area you couldn't hear much when you were inside. Once you close the door to the main street the decor and sounds whisk you off to your own little magical bubble. We would highly recommend and definitely will be back! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/76a01525-cfda-455a-b121-eaa791adb510-1753208819942.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/aeeb6950-b16b-4073-9f52-aeb32ff4ed46-1753208820447.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Joanna Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Graham Jul 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely, quirky property, a unique experience. It was very hot outside and no opening window in room but air coolers kept it reasonably cool and also fridge in room to keep drinks cold. Great location right in the centre of everything, but wasn't disturbed by any noise. Good size room. Only negative was mattress wasn't great so didn't sleep too well, or maybe that was because of the ghosts. ##### Graham Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Nigel Feb 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Location, location. Great location, right in the City Centre. A small but very different room giving the feeling you have travelled back in time, but with a little modern comforts. Heating and fridge!! Expensive, but then so is all accommodation in York. Quirky, bit pleased we have ticked this one off our list of places to stay. Probably not suited to an extended stay, one or two nights only. But an experience. 👍 ##### Nigel Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Terry Jan 14, 2024 Liked: Amenities Easy access to the property using the self check in instructions sent to us prior to arriving. Upon entering our room in the property we couldn't help notice the smell of what i can only imagine is sewerage. The appearance and decor is really good and very detailed. I think the price of £190 per night is a bit steep for what you get and because of the bad smell we wont stay here again. ##### Terry Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Patricia May 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location The location is unbeatable but amenities were sparse - like towels - and it felt like the decor was more important than the comfort factor. The bed was uncomfortable, there were no pegs to hang up your 2 towels, and there was no air flow. Just a fan. It felt like more of an AirBnb than a hotel. If you’re looking for a place where there’s someone to greet you and help you with extra needs and/or recommendations- this is not the place to be. ##### Patricia Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### L Nov 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Loved the themed room and it was lovely and warm in the room, very clean. ##### L Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful unique hotel in an amazing location.

Only complaint was it was a bit hot and no central air conditioning. We enjoyed our stay in August. The property is aged but sort of goes with the theme.
