Hocus Pocus Tiny Hotel

Centrally located with easy access to attractions, the accommodation impresses guests with its clean, well-equipped rooms and modern amenities, including hairdryers and underfloor heating.

Loved this quirky hotel. Stayed here for one night with my daughter and two friends . We stayed in the Itinerandum room, which is based on a train carriage. This room sleeps four with a double bed and bunk beds . Although the rooms are small as the name suggests still plenty of room for all four of us with a good-sized bathroom. The decor throughout the hotel and room is fantastic. we particularly liked the spooky pictures that changed when you walked past. Arrival was easy with a code for the front door and one for your room, also tea and coffee in the room . The location is great, located right near The Shambles . Would definitely stay here again.

Located next to the best bar anywhere, Valhalla York, is an immediate bonus for this brilliant little lodging. Its location in the centre of York right next to the Shambles is superb anyway and that’s not the only superb factor. Themed as a spooky witch house the decor and ambience is perfect for fans of the supernatural or anyone who prefers something a little different. With only 5 rooms and no reception or public facilities I’m not sure hotel is the right description but this shouldn’t put anyone off. The rooms are well appointed, clean and comfortable with TV, WIFI and modern bathrooms. We had The Sorceryum with a large King size bed and whilst the room was compact it didn’t feel too cramped at all. I will mention 2 negatives hence the 4 rather than 5 stars, but I will state that the owners are up front about these so were expected. The staircase to reach upper floors is difficult and very narrow so don’t bring huge suitcases. If, like me, you walk with a stick then it’s a slow climb, but ultimately worth it. The second slight negative is the nighttime noise due to the close proximity of a couple of bars/clubs, open till 4 am when we visited, but again we knew about this in advance and in reality it wasn’t enough to stop us sleeping. Ear plugs are provided in the room but we didn’t really need them. Overall a great experience for a couple of nights and one which we thoroughly enjoyed.
