Standing next to York Minster, Guy Fawkes Inn was the birthplace of the notorious plotter, Guido Fawkes. The Inn offers en-suite rooms with free WiFi and flat-screen TV's.
Each of the thirteen rooms have been decorated individually, feature antique feature, tea/coffee making facilities and complimentary toiletries. Many of the rooms also enjoy a landmark view.
Guy Fawkes Inn retains many of its original features including gas lighting, real log fires and the timber staircase. You can also dine by candlelight in the restaurant, which serves classic pub-food from locally sourced ingredients and the bar stocks a range of real ales.
The York Ghost Walk Experience leaves from York Minster each Saturday at 19:00 and both York Theatre Royal and the National Railway Museum are just a 5-minute walk away.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.

“We stayed in the suite on the top floor of this ancient building which was marvellously spooky with very narrow stairs behind the door taking you up to the dark and low-beamed rooms with sloping floors and heavy velvet curtains.”
