The Fort York

Amazing Location but it is LOUD. They do provide earplugs which is amazing, the room is great and they also let you store your bags the next day! I knew that it would be noisy when I made the booking so I am not complaining but just a heads up! The location is amazing, everything is under 10 mins away. I was here on a Thursday night and the live music was playing until 2am. The hosts provide earplugs so I used that and slept just fine, but again, it is quite noisy (you can hear people chatting on the street). If you don’t mind the noise, go for it!

The room was disgusting and not at all what was advertised, it was tiny with a mouldy wet room. It is above a night club which is incredibly loud and instead of clearly advertising this, they give you 50p earplugs which do not suffice against the noise. The central location is the only thing that stops this being 1 star. I would not recommend stopping here, the price does not reflect what you get.

The noise from the clubs are on another level it’s like you’re in the night club, at 3.30 the music stopped and because the windows are single glazed you hear everybody outside once they have gone glass bottles start getting emptied into the bins then at 6.50 a lorry turns up and start emptying bins with the bottles in, the ear plugs they give you wasn’t good enough , if your going out clubbing then location is great

Don't stay here unless you are deaf.||That's about all I have to say. We asked for the quietest room but still was loud. If you want to sleep - don't stay here. ||Would I stay again? No. ||Do I recommend - no.||Only goo thing about the room it's right in the centre. ||We stayed in room number 5.

It is right smack bang in the middle of York, our door to the flat was next to the sweaty Betty shop and a 3 minute walk to the Minster! Fab bed, kitchen and lounge area, we opened the window to hear people walking by and the Minster Bells in practice on Tuesday night. Remember you are right in the middle of everything so you will hear all the behind the scenes stuff going on, nightlife, bin lorries etc but honestly you are better off for it to soak up an experience which is truly special ❤️

1. this is not a hotel. It’s a room in a house with a communal kitchenette that smells like smoker’s paradise, considering it’s a non smoker place|2. the music you will hear from approx 8/9pm onwards until 3-4am is from a nightclub below the rooms. It will make your floor vibrate! |3. there‘s a reason why they leave ear plugs in your room and kitchenette!|4. even if you book on a Sunday, you will be blessed with loud music and drunk people underneath your window. |5. next door is shut Mo and Tue do those wld be the quieter days |6. NEVER AGAIN! It’s a pity as it’s very central but if you like to sleep 5-7 hours, this is probably not the place for you|7. tried to ring on the 1st night to complain and nobody picked up. Didn’t try it on Sunday thinking there’s no clubbing on Sunday but that was a mistake. Asked for a refund and the owner was adamant the noise was normal street noise, which it wasn’t and upset and did not agree to refund |8. case is with the Ombudsman now|9. Shame as York is a wonderful city and we will return albeit obvs not to the Fort York

What a lovely hidden gem. Clean spacious room with modern bathroom. Staff were lovely, nothing was a problem. It's right in the middle of York which was fantastic, inside the castle walls. There is tea & coffee facilities for free on site. You also can eat in the bar downstairs for dinner and recieve a free bottle of wine. We stayed 1 night and loved it. And easy to find, just look for the teddy bear shop on the corner

Aside from the great location not much else to say positive about this place. Lift doesn’t work so good luck slogging luggage if you have any up 3 flights of stairs! Bed and pillows are not at all comfortable and the noise transfer through the walls and windows is severe. Previous reviews mentioned this, but fortunately the club wasn’t open on Mondays, however every other noise comes through and deliveries start at 7am, so a lie in is not on the cards. There are some ear plugs to use though… a shared kitchen is available that we didn’t look twice at. For the price and what’s included (no breakfast) I would seriously reconsider ever staying here.
