The place has had a complete overhaul by the sounds of the last reviews, brand new carpets, brand new bathroom very clean and tidy. I have stayed in a few rooms and it is the same through out. Good value for money

This was my second trip to the 5 Lions in York, my first experience left a little to be desired, but I bit the bullet and decided to stop again for a Stag do I was organising, after all we weren't planning on stopping in the rooms for long, and wanted somewhere relatively cheap. On my first trip, the Five... More

Only popped in here after having dinner down the road as we could hear pretty loud live music blaring out of the place. It's a no frills pub with an interesting barmaid who (if taken with a pinch of salt) is pretty funny mad generally harmless. Lighten up people. Cheap ale. Good crack

The mattress is older then the pub!! Room was basic and cold. £75.00 isn't that cheap for 1 night with no breakfast. The... More

We were greeted by a rude barmaid who looked us up and down before telling us bluntly that our room 'isn't ready yet' and there is nowhere to leave our bags beforehand. She certainly was not interested in making us feel welcome. Our room was small and dirty with stains on the carpet and wall. The carpet hadn't been vacuumed... More

Just returned from a one night break at the Five Lions in York. As 3 girls aged between 22 and 24 we were only looking for somewhere with a central location at a reasonable price.
