“memorable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012

Would recommend The Guy Fawkes Inn to anyone who likes to travel back in time. The gas lighting and candle light give it an authentic old world atmosphere along with the furnishings and decor.
We also dined in the restaurant and could not fault the food, it was delicious, appetizing and worth every penny. The staff we encountered were friendly and cheerful, making sure everything was to our liking. Overall a value for money experience

“Character and Quality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

Fantastic location just outside the Minster. Room was very nice and staff friendly. Great atmosphere in the pub downstairs (enjoyed every minute in there), local ales combined with open fires and gas lamps created a superb ambiance. Food was of a very high quality and guests got priority booking in the restaurant. Must state though Guy Fawkes is very much an inn and is quite loud until around midnight. This wasn't a problem for us but I can imagine it may be for others.

“You really feel the essence of York in this place.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

You walk into a dark candle lit room, filled with ambiance, serving up numerous real ales, good grub and bags of character, and being situated right next to the minster, the Guy Fawkes inn is right at the heart of York and is a perfect place to stay in terms of location. The room we stayed in was very nice, with a big comfy bed and en suit bathroom. We stayed for the breakfast the next day which was served with one of the tastiest black puddings I have ever had. Unfortunately we didn't have the chance to eat in the restaurant however the menu looked great and we will be dining here next time.
My partner and I both thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would certainly recommend it.Great for couples looking for a short break in York.

“Weekend in York”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

If you want to stay in a old cosy inn this has to be it, open fires and gas lit wall lights add to the atmosphere thinking you have travelled back in time, can get a bit noisey at night so forget about getting some sleep before midnight.
Ideally located in the heart of York itself you cant go wrong, we will definately be returning.
we booked a four poster bedroom, but would say it wasnt worth the money, but would reccommend this place,

Room Tip: room 3 is very noisey with people in the street and the sign squeeking with the wind

“Nice pub - great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012

Lovely atmospheric pub right next to the Minster. No parking on site, however easy walk to car park about 5mins away. Great bar and good service - just remember it is a pub and there will be people in the bar until closing time and all will be well.
