I stayed at The Fat Badger as a solo traveler, experiencing York for the first time.
I’m so glad I chose this accommodation, not only for its cosy, relaxing atmosphere, but also its modern touches and ideal central location. There is such charm there that one can’t get from a hotel chain. I also found the staff very friendly and always ready to assist. I look forward to my next stay at The Fat Badger.

Had a lovely stay in York. Had attic room in the old hotel which was nicely presented. No aircon but had a fan. Good sized room and ensuite but no hooks or anywhere to hang towels/clothes. And no room for cosmetics. Good breakfasts. Good location.
Lovely room with extremely comfy bed and pillows. Delicious breakfast and friendly welcoming staff. Very quirky and we loved staying in an historic building inside the walls of York.
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.
The secret garden is a great addition, but can get very busy . If staying over get a room on a lower floor , we were on the top floor , 6 flights of creaky stairs . Breakfast was good .
2nd time here and loved it,staff are great will stay again

The room was fine, and the breakfast good. It's well situated in the centre of the old city. The only issue for a 79 year old was our room was three floors up with no lift. The staff were very helpful carrying luggage for us.
