Stay in Queens Head, Gilesgate
This was a fine hotel to stay in for a couple days, and the people working there were friendly and helpful. Shared bathroom was clean enough for the most part, as was the little kitchen used. Towels, coffee, tea, and TV were in the room, which was nice, and the bed was comfortable. It's not a fancy hotel, but works for solo traveller looking for inexpensive accommodation. 20 min walk to city centre and buses run right by the hotel.

Dirty and requires renovation.
Property felt filthy and unclean with the exception of the bed which was decently comfy and sheets clean. I had a shared bathroom stay and it was dirty in there with hair in the shower and dirty shower curtains etc. I didnt feel good staying there other than just sleep the night.

The room was very pleasant as were the staff. The only issue was the music in the bar below is on until 11.30pm, which would be a problem if you needed an early night.

Avoid at all costs!
Book 2 nights in a superior room!! So bad we had to abandon and book elsewhere. The music from the bar was SO LOUD and didn't cease until 25 past midnight. Then the goodbyes and tidying up noise began for another 30 minutes. Didn't sleep a wink! Nobody available the following morning to discuss and no answer to calls or emails. Broken glass in car park, broken windows and the beer garden was 2 dirty broken and rotten wooden bench tables. DO Not Book to stay here!!!

Shared bathroom
The shared bathroom was usually too wet to use from where other occupants had not positioned the shower curtain within the bath - so all spray was on the floor.

2/10 Poor

No sleep and lots of swearing until very late
No welcome and bar staff didn't respond when we arrived. They just stayed in the other side of the bar. A 'local' had to tell us to check-in around the back of the bar, but there was no signage for this. Rooms of same classification/cost have different specifications which aren't stated. No chance of a good sleep/rest. On handover of keys, we were warned that there may be noise until 11.30, when the pub shuts, but this went on until after 00.30 with raised voices arguing and swearing up until this time. We definitely don't expect anything too fancy, but we won't be returning.
