Guy Fawkes Inn, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

I was attracted to this place because of the 'V for Vendetta' signage outside and I love the film. I then discovered it was the birthplace of Guy Fawkes and decided I had to eat there! A very dark interior but atmospheric with nice paintings and information on the wall. Delicious food, fair price, nice helpful staff. A great place for dinner. less

I stayed here last weekend with my boyfriend for his birthday and it was an amazing stay! I have always wanted to stay here as i have walked past it a few times and it always look interesting. The room was really nice, beautifully presented and clean, but besides from that the staff were amazing! The manager Dan went out of his way to make the whole stay perfect from start to finish and he is a credit to them, i have never had this service from any other hotel in York and i have stayed over a few times, mainly in a 5 star hotel around the corner and have never received treatment like this there. All the other staff were lovely too from the young girl who checked us in to the lovely man who checked us out. When we come back we will 100% be staying here again! less

I booked this pub/hotel based on the location and this did not disappoint. It was easy to find and couldn’t have been closer to the Minster. We had a good welcome and left our bags as it was too early to check in. The lady who took our bags was helpful and polite. We came back to check in and were shown to our room - number 12 in the courtyard. It was a big room with a huge bathroom with everything we needed. It was clean and the bed was really comfortable. The only downside was that the room was overlooked by the courtyard patrons having a drink - we waved at some of them from the bed! There was also a loud buzzing noise which turned out to be the industrial extractors from the kitchen next door. I spoke to Dan and asked for another room as my romantic night away was quickly dissolving. He explained the courtyard would be empty at 10 and the kitchen extractors would be off at 9. He said I would receive some chocolates and Prosecco for the trouble. He dealt with it really well. I received the chocolates but not the Prosecco. The courtyard was empty as mentioned but the noise from the kitchen was there until after 10 and then again from 6 in the morning. We had a lovely break away but I was disappointed that a room costing over £200 was noisy and overlooked. I think this should be mentioned when booking. The staff were lovely and breakfast was delicious. Overall I would recommend this place as it has a good atmosphere and lovely staff - avoid room 12. less

Our visits are always nothing short of exceptional but highlighted even more by the outstanding service received by Michael behind the bar. This guy truly exceeds our expectations during our time here. He is extremely informative and has a vast knowledge and expertise when discussing the local ales that are on offer. He welcomes us immediately with a smile and makes you feel at ease as soon as you make your way to the bar. He provides a fun atmosphere, is always friendly and he takes good care of me and my family during our stays , its amazing how he always smiles no matter what, he also jokes around with us like we do with him , nothing short of the perfect host. He runs the bar to a high standard and his work ethic is nothing short of exemplary. Master of Drinkology, he will literally ''bend over backwards'' to make your drinking experience memorable. A true professional. less
