Although the staff were pleasant and the pub itself would be worth staying for a swift half, I would not recommend staying here. The rooms were dusty but that I can live with...when we opened the wardrobe, there was a half full can of cider representing the care taking to preparing the room for visitors. Breakfast was very poor and... More

We arrived on 30th of Jan 2012. As soon as you walk in, you are transported to another time, Ye Olde English setting. Uneven dark flooboards, dark wood tables, candles lit on the tables (even in the day). As our eyes adjusted we felt that we had come to somewhere really unique (in a good way). We were made welcome... More

Okay, my daughter (19) booked this for her & I in late Sept 2011. The location could not be better and the bar staff were very friendly. Ale superb. Landlady ever so nice and even gave us a pottery water jug with the Golden Fleece logo. Our room was clean, nice linens,the walls were stained, but whatever, I knew it... More

Overpriced, good location (if you can find the car-park!) Lots of character but dirty and dusty More

Whilst staying in York, my boyfriend and I were looking for somewhere to have our evening meal. We had heard of the Golden Fleece and thought we would pop in and give the food a try and see what the place was like. We went in at about 7pm and it was extremely busy. We found a table easily though... More

2 friends and I stayed here several years ago (2005) The accomodation was very dirty... A large stain of suspicious nature on the bed cover and mold,dirt,soapscum in the shower in Catherine's room. It was bad enough that my friend spent the night in the extremely uncomfortable 'lounge' of the Minster Suite (which was where my other friend and I... More

When we arrived the pub was really busy, and we were given a key by one of the bar staff who barely registered that we were there. They didn't ask us for any details but did show us the Monster Suite, and check that everything was in order. The rooms were great; spacious, old-fashioned with creaky, uneven floors. We stayed...

It's 3am in in the shambles room. Not slept all night because the bed is so awful you can feel every spring in the mattress, the smell of what I can only discribe as rotten eggs that occasionally fills the room is sickening the wall paper is falling of the ceiling litterely hanging. Basic would be a better discription than... More

Me and my friend stopped in the Golden Fleece on the 17th November in the St Catherines room. It was so strange, as soon as we walked in the room the wonky walls and uneven floors make you feel like you've had too much to drink without touching a drop. The furniture was lovely and fitted in well. St Catherines... More
