Guy Fawkes Inn, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

Guy Fawkes is a quaint hotel that overlooks the Minster and is perfectly positioned to maximise the delights of York in a non pandemic environment. The history and authenticity of the hotel is interesting and intriguing, adding heaps of character to the York experience. less

We got married in York, autumn last year during the pandemic and so with the necessary restrictions. We made the booking a year in advance and choose this hotel as we have stayed here many times and it is our favourite place. This time we wanted it to be really special but we knew this would be a big ask with coronavirus. We planned our long weekend including meals with manager, Leona in advance. We had to change our plans several times due to covid restrictions and she was very understanding and flexible. From the moment we got there Leana and her team could not do enough for us. We had an incredible weekend and we could not thank them enough. The safety measures in place for coronavirus place made us feel safe. The food, as always was incredible (I recommend their famous pie!). I have stayed in lots of places in York centre, Guy Fawkes Inn however has everything. The central location is perfect with views of the Minster. The history of the hotel makes staying here feel like a privilege. The food is hearty, warming and of a very high standard. The team running the hotel make you feel completely at ease, both familiar and efficient. Thank you once again Leona & team, we will be back, again and again! less

Cannot recommend this hotel enough.fantastic location beautiful room & food . We had a 4 poster bed room was spotless with great views of YorkMinster .But what makes this hotel outstanding is the staff. Will definitely return less

Having read the reviews we decided to have a meal here as a pre Christmas treat. Was disappointed from the start, was shown to a small table packed with dirty glasses and bottles and no self distancing going on, only to be told they thought we were with another party....implying our 11 year old daughter was older than that....disgraceful. Eventually being seated, we were rudely interrupted by a group whom had clearly been drinking alot and was being rather loud, northern accents, sluring ordering bottles of champagne and instead of a nice family dinner there was hardly any space between us and table next to us, or behind us. I'm aware it's a historic inn, but, still.....we paid well over a hundred pound for three of us and I expect for that money amazing food and a good atmosphere. The waitress was lovely, cant fault her, but some of the staff clearly need help with customer service and how to deal with children customers also. Needs some training on how to manage covid regulations too as self distancing really was not happening. Such a shame. less

Stayed for one night in the guy fawkes cottage at the back of the beer garden in the pub and wow it was fantastic. Full of history, the room was very clean, quiet and spacious with a nice comfy bed. The staff were friendly and helpful and we ate in the pub and the food was fantastic I recommend the beef Sunday dinner. Can’t wait to stay again. less
