The Fat Badger

We loved the quirkiness & character of the place. The room was clean cosy & comfortable & well equipped. The staff were friendly, helpful & welcoming. The beer garden was a nice little oasis in the middle of the city. The location couldn't have been better, 30 seconds from the minster & all the delights of York just a short walk away as well as being within easy walking distance to the station. Also surprisingly quiet in the morning despite being so close to everything in a city centre.

Perfect location considering we were going to York Theatre Royal, not even 2 minutes walk away but also great access to a huge variety of shops, cafes and restaurants just a stones throw away. Staff were great, especially our waiter when we ate at the on-site restaurant in the evening! Speaking of which the dinner and breakfast were superb, especially the desserts. Highly reccomend a stay here, especially if you're planning on shopping and sightseeing as it has great access to York Minster (just at the end of the street in fact) and the Shambles marketplace and street which is barely 10 minutes away, if that.

A very centrally located historical Inn, excellent staff who willingly helped with our heavy bags, loved the decor and the breakfasts which were beautifully presented, Jeremy needs special mention for his upmost consideration of his guests, nothing was too much trouble for him. Enjoyed the comfy bed and hot showers. Loved the pealing of the bells nearby and the general vibrancy of York. A visit to the Yorkshire museum was so interesting. Excellent displays and friendly helpful staff.

The staff were lovely and helpful and it was very easy to check in most of it was able to be done online so it was quick. The room was clean and the well thought out where things should be to utilise the space in the room due to its size. The window was big and let it lots on natural light. The black out curtains were great to help have a great night's sleep. This was a lovely hotel it's location is excellent and it's very cental to shops, bars and restaurants as well as local tourist attractions. Would definitely recommend it.

The Fat Badger has a great location! It's steps away from access to the city wall and a 5 minute walk to the York Minster. It was fun observing the street below my window. The bathroom was recently renovated & it's great having a kettle in the room. Some creaking floor boards added to the charm!
