I wouldn't recommend driving there as parking costs and its much easily accessible via public transport. It can get busy with foot traffic and some of the streets are narrow so have your wits about you.

Very well placed property. Close proximity to everything including York Minster. Unlike some other hotels/B&Bs, their breakfast is included in the price, and it is a very generous breakfast! The rooms are quaint, charming and full of character (not to mention their secret garden lol shhhh). Staff are lovely and helpful too! Side note... I would definitely recommend the Shambles food market! Lots of choices and some great food!

From the start my visit was exceptional. I called in advance and mentioned my stay was an important occasion. They booked a lovely table for me on arrival, and even kept it after train cancellation meant I was late. My room was superb. Again, they chose a special room for me with a view of the Minster. A really nice touch. The room was outstanding. Lovely atmosphere, comfy bed, very quiet. The food was exceptionally good. I have never had a breakfast as well prepared and devised as this one. A large range of delicious options - every detail spot on. The eggs on both days were nothing short of historic. The porridge, often a humble offering was spectacular, options for coconut milk, fruit, nuts, honey and cooked beautifully. The 'Full Yorkshire' was divine. good portions and each part perfectly cooked and seasoned, all the items of good quality and local. The location is the best in York in every way, the view, the street, the vibe of the area. The price is astonishingly good. This sort of quality would be double the price in any other city - even my own, Dundee. Quite simply the best value hotel I have ever stayed in and I've stayed in a lot of them, both grand and bad. Trust me on this, you won't find a better place to stay. The staff? so friendly, but professional. There when you need them but not over fussy. There was a wonderful server called Nina in the restaurant who was worth a visit in her own right. She was hilarious and had all the guests smiling. Thank you Galtres Lodge for a delightful and memorable stay.

A room in the roof doesn’t have a view, however that was a minor detail.

Lovely old building and a beamed roof in my room. Friendly, helpful staff and tasty food / lots of local produce. The hotel is central - literally a few minutes walk from York Minster.

Only downfall was we felt the weekend wasn't long enough.

Lovely room with a fantastic view of the minster from the window. Breakfast was delicious with a comfortable.portoon size. Hotel was very accommodating and did a great job of providing the birthday surprise of bubbles, flowers and chocolates with a birthday message for my wife. All of the staff were amazing and helped to make our stay a delight. Location couldn't have been more central with the minster on the doorstep as is the shambles and everything within a 15 minute walk meant we jumped alright into the city. Thoroughly recommend .

It needs double glazing as you can hear people on the street below at all hours. It needs a deep clean, and a few touch ups, other than those nit picks its great

Absolutely brilliant staff, good breakfasts and you couldn't ask for a better location

Little bit of nighttime noise on street outside hotel room. Service trucks etc - not hotels fault. Bathroom was on the small side.

Nothing really worth mentioning. Only thing I would say is a shower screen rather than curtain - that's just being picky mind!

Perfect position on The Shambles, beautiful room and bathroom with gorgeous products, breakfast was lovely.

The only negative comment would be that although tea/coffee making facilities were in the room, it would have been nice to have bottled water in the room and glasses.

Breakfast was included in our booking and was of a good standard and range. The hotel’s location in sight of Yorkminster is ideal for exploring the city as all the main attractions are within easy walking distance. The room was of a good size, ideal for a short break.

Great location, friendly staff, good room and outstanding breakfast (especially for someone who needs gluten free options)

The bathroom was very small (however to be expected when selecting a small room) but the bathroom in room 14 was particularly hard to move around, so for our next stay we would select a larger room.

Perfect location for sight seeing and spending the day on a pub crawl, nestled right in the historic streets of York. The bonus of breakfast included, with a variety of choices, was brilliant too! The building itself is beautifully decorated outside and in.
