The Fat Badger York Reviews

Beautiful, quaint hotel in a brilliant location… I don’t think you could be anymore central! Lovely breakfast too.

The transportation is very convenient, the environment is good, and the service is also good

The room is old fashioned and the shower room is too small. The location is great.

The property is full of character and cosy, you step in and its full of cosy nooks and crannies a maze of rooms.

We stayed for one night on our way north and spent some time enjoying City centre. The hotel is located right inside one of the old wall gates with easy access to the wall, which we could see right out our room window. Parking is off site in a pay parking lot abouit 1/4 mile away (10 min walk), Check out is 11, but they close the gate at 9:30am, so if you check out after that you will be hauling your luggage to the car park. we just had carry on type bags so no biggie. We only slept at the badger, so cannot comment on food/service. Staff for checking in and out were very helpful. Great location to enjoy the old city centre. We walked south on old wall to the south side and then cut back up through the city, to the shambles and about. We ate breakfast at the Brew and Brownie which was excellent, I highly recommend.

The staff were amazing and really helpful. The room was very cosy, and very York 👌 Thank you 👍

Requested not to put in room 10 , but told the day before it was the only room available 😡

The hotel was very pleasant with interesting decor. The room was clean and an adequate size for a single room. The bed was large and comfortable. There was coffee/tea in the room with a cup and kettle, and an iron and ironing board. There is a wonderful outdoor area, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. All perfectly good. However, at 6:45am the kitchen extraction unit was switched on. Unfortunately it appeared to be attached to the bed and sounded like an aeroplane taking off. My lie in and leisurely morning ruined by this noise that persisted until I checked out. The breakfast was very good, and the staff were pleasant and attentive. Upon checking out I mentioned the unceasing noise that had ruined my intended lazy start to the day. The dismissive response was ‘Oh yeah, sorry about that’. In conclusion, a potentially great stay was spoiled and I can’t say it was worth the price. If I had stayed in a different room my experience would probably have also been different.

Everything was great. Hotel is not suitable for wheelchair users

Loved this place! Staff very friendly and wonderful. Exactly what I was looking for on our European trip. So rustic and cozy but beautiful and comfortable.

I loved the Fat Badger. It was so cute and comfortable. The staff were so accommodating and wonderful. Everyone was helpful and kind.

We loved our stay. A very special place, busy and full of charm. Antique with all modern facilities. It has good vibes.

Well decorated old property with antique furniture located right beside the main attractions of York. Our room looked over the secret garden which was a peaceful place to have a drink. Breakfast was very tasty with high quality ingredients: the Greek yogurt was particularly tasty.

Good beer and Food, great breakfast. Rooms dated, but can perhaps be forgiven for being in keeping with the fine, old building. Great location. Friendly staff. I would stay here again.
