Incredible stay! The room was so cute and clean. Staff were legends for hauling my heavy bag up and down the stairs for me without complaint.

Clean room, but it is an old building which inevitably presents a few challenges when being maintained. The staff we met were happy and extremely friendly, special mention to the waitress at breakfast who explained she had been there for 26 years, what a great sense of humour. The property is within half a mile of the main station, well situated, and just stone’s throw from the Minster. I would happily stay there again when I next visit York

Fat Badger is very central and close to all amenities. Shambles, York Minster, Bettys coffee shop and museums etc. Many good restaurants, pubs all nearby. It was ver clean if a little tired with regard to decor. The food was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Lovely breakfast served by Debbie who had us in stitches. She was very professional and also very welcoming as was every member of staff. We would definitely return.

Great hotel, right in the heart of York, next to the Minister. Helpful friendly staff provide a great service, excellent breakfast and good selection of local hand pulled brews at the bar.

Everything about The Fat badger was great! The location couldn't have been better for getting to and from the bus station or railway station. The accommodation was great! The room was so clean and well maintained. The staff everywhere was so helpful. The breakfast was so tasty with a lot of options. I would definitely stay again.

First and foremost, this is not a five-star accommodation. However, if you’re looking for an hotel with old charm with a beer garden and fantastic staff, this will foot the bill. The beer garden had the best mac & cheese and parsnip soup you’ve ever had in your life. Location is extremely convenient to the train station, York Minster, restaurants, pubs and shopping. They’re not a lot of rooms and there is no elevator. Some doors may not close, and floors may be a little warped, but it is worth the price for a quaint accommodation that has everything. If you need accessible lodging, this is not for you.

We love the fat badger. The staff are really friendly, the accommodation is warm and cozy. The location is perfect. Its only a couple of hundred feet from cathedral and shops.

Very old property with an antique charm. Our bedroom was very well taken care of. Our only complaint would be the bathroom being a little narrow and damp. But these are things that must be traded off for when considering the age of the building. Its proximity to the Yorkminster made it very nice and easy. The food and drink as well as food service was very good. Servers and bartender were knowledgeable about the drinks and gave us good advice when it was needed.

AMAZING location in a historic inn, cute views from my 4th-floor room (naturally no elevator, so keep that in mind). The food and drinks were top-notch, and it's only a short walk to York Minster and the art gallery, Yorkshire Museum, Museum Gardens, etc. I will definitely stay here again!

I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy with a hotel. In addition to the perfect, convenient location and good value, the staff was so kind and the room so charming and thoughtful. I wish I had more than one night!
