Guy Fawkes Inn, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

A pleasant visit to this Inn situated in the heart of York. Parking was a nightmare however, due to how far it is from the hotel itself. We found the bar to be plain and simple, no WOW factor, the bar is also the reception area which can be a little confusing when you have never visited before. Sadly, this is situated next to the loos so slightly unpleasant on arrival. The room was satisfactory, old fashioned furniture which could be changed or updated, bed was disagreeable to not only me but my partner. Breakfast was nice, the sausage for me was poor quality, bit dry and nothing special. A nice visit, but definitely improvements could be made in certain areas. less

We stayed in a lovely room at the rear of the Hotel. You don't expect it to be quiet until the bar closes around midnight. What we didn't expect was a 4am wake up call from the night porter arranging the furniture/cutlery for breakfast in the dining room immediately below. The phone ringing loudly at the bottom of the stairs was unnecessary too. No apology from the staff when mentioned at breakfast, just a shrug of the shoulders. Breakfast was good though. The room though nice, was a little tired & the bathroom lacked ANY shelves to place toiletries, as did the shower - weird! Would we stay there again? No, there are several lovely looking places very nearby, we'd probably try one of those next time. less

My wife and I had a fabulous evening meal at this iconic York venue. The front of house bar is a little unimpressive, however we received a warm welcome, and our request for a table (we had not booked) was sorted swiftly. Once in the restaurant, the experience was fantastic, not only was the food well cooked, well presented and delicious, Katie who was looking after us was funny, warm and accommodating. In a destination town like York, there are plenty of places where you can get a meal on the nice to delicious scale.........it is people like Katie that elevate a really good meal in nice surroundings, to an exceptional and memorable evening out. Take a bow less

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights, lovely room, very quirky hotel. Very friendly staff, nice beer. We had a meal on the second night, I opted for the famous steak pie it’s was beautiful. Great location. We will be back 👍 less

I was booked in here on a business trip to York. Although I had some difficulty finding it the staff were extremely helpful in directing me. I was in room 4 at the front which was noisy due to being on the street and the proximity to the Minster. But as the nice lady from Powys said use ear plugs. The room was fine. I think in this day and age when people have devices that they need to charge there should be accessible power points ideally with built in usb plugs. Also the shower was tepid at best. On the plus side I stayed on for lunch after check out. While the American tourists were tucking into and enjoying their fish and chips I think they really missed out by not having the calf’s liver which was excellent. less
