Located about a 15-minute walk from the Jorvik Viking Centre, the 3-star The Lighthorseman Hotel York includes 8 rooms. The inn features both Wi-Fi in public areas and parking on site.

Location

This smoke-free hotel is notable for its central location just 300 m from the Rowntree Park and only 1.6 km from York train station. The Lighthorseman is 6 minutes on foot from Southlands Methodist Church and within 25 minutes' walk of the National Railway Museum.

Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to York Beach, which is around 1 km away. There is The York Dungeon a 13-minute walk away, and Piccadilly bus station is within reach of this accommodation.

For those travelling from afar, Leeds Bradford airport is 50 minutes' drive away.

Eat & Drink

Guests are invited to the onsite lounge bar to unwind with a drink. The bar area includes a lounge. Istanbul Grill, located only 1.4 km from The Lighthorseman Hotel, serves Turkish cuisine to satisfy every taste.

“The Lighthorseman offers a genuine pub experience a short, pleasant walk from York's center along the river; its friendly atmosphere and proximity to attractions like the York Dungeons make it a practical base. While the decor shows its age, the hotel's unique community vibe and full English breakfast are definite advantages. I think it is a good choice for those seeking an affordable, characterful stay.”
