Fat Badger
The Fat Badger was a quaint 12 room hotel located inside the city walls of York. Location was very good within walking distance to York Minster and many historic sites. The restaurant and secret garden location were both very good. The hotel is close to local pubs and the street is loud on weekends.

Expensive for what it was
Difficult stairway access to bedroom- almost dangerous. Hotel was very dark and not very inviting. No hooks or soap tray in bathroom. No drawspace. Expensive for what it was. On the plus side- great location,v. Good breakfast and helpful staff

Quirky hotel with character but wouldn’t use again. Our bedroom had windows overlooking the beer garden and a footpath which allowed people to look straight in to the bedroom and bathroom so privacy was an issue as the only way to block this was to bring the blinds right down. Breakfast was average too. The location however was great.

The property is in the heart of York, the staff is incredibly helpful and nice, Bella is the best. There are few thing that I didn’t like:, the color of the walls is black, and makes the room look smaller and gloomy, the shower is very dangerous, there is a big step to do to go in and out, and the bottom of it it’s extremely slippery, I risked my life every night and also it doesn’t have a surface where you can put the soap or the shampoo on it, so it is very uncomfortable. But other than that the place is clean, the restaurant is adorable with a beautiful garden in the back, the food and drinks are delicious, and the staff is super, we had a great stay.

Great characterful place to stay in centre of York
Lovely overnight stay in a very characterful property, set into the old city wall. Both dinner & breakfast were cooked beautifully and staff were very friendly. Great place to stay and only one minute walk from York Minster and the centre of the city.

Couldn't resist the name. The hotel was in the perfect location for a short trip in York. It was walkable to everything but still tucked away enough that I didn't have to worry about loud people all night. Fair warning this hotel doesn't have an elevator, only stairs so if you're like me and tend to over pack - you've been warned. That being said staff were super helpful in bringing my luggage up and down the stairs. Would gladly stay here again.
