Hocus Pocus is a really fun, quirky themed place to stay. We were able to leave our bags prior to check in and the cleaning crew was super helpful with that. We really liked the central location with shopping and food around The Shambles. Room was clean and the fan was helpful when it felt a little stuffy. Overall, we had a great one night stay.

We had a fantastic stay. The room had everything you could need for your stay. Decorated perfectly, and the whole experience from first opening the door left us appreciative of the effort put in. Thanks to Camelia, our stay was enhanced and supported and we can’t wait to return.

The hocus pocus is a lovely themed hotel in the centre of York. It's location is extremely central with everything in walking distance. The minister, shambles, Jorvik, Clifton tower are all within a 5 to 10 minute walk. The hotel is a 15 to 20 minute walk from York railway station. The hotel does not have a bar or eating area but you really don't need this as there are multiple options a couple of minutes (or less) from the hotel. The rooms are themed and this is done to a high standard. Due to the location it can be noisy at night but this outside of the hotels control and ear plugs are provided. I will certainly be looking to try and book this hotel again next time I visit York.

Great hotel for overnight stay.

Great hotel and theme. Room was warm. Due to age of building air conditioning not available, fans provided however so thank you. Amazing location right next to The Shambles.

Liked our Librarium room on the whole but needed room on other side of bed to get out but was right up against the wall.Shower cubicle was small and water came out very hot after a few mins and had to jump out.Loved the books and plenty of tea bags,coffee,hot chocolate and biscuits. No room on my side of bed to put a drink or anything.Great location and quiet room.

I stayed at Hocus Pocus Tiny Hotel in York during a work trip, mainly because it was the cheapest option available at the time. The hotel is incredibly well themed and has clearly had a lot of thought put into the design. Everything was very clean, the linen was fresh, the pillows were lovely, and the bed itself was fairly comfortable. However, the main issue is the noise. Because it is right in the centre of York, I was woken up several times during the night by people walking past after drinking in the city. The bed was also very creaky, which added to the noise. For that reason, I probably would not recommend it for light sleepers or anyone needing a really restful night before work. That said, if you are looking for somewhere quirky, fun and memorable for the novelty factor, it is a great place to stay. It is clean, comfortable and brilliantly themed, but you do need to be prepared for the possibility of a noisy night.

Anniversary Stay

Such a quirky and unusual place. We had a 'spooky' wedding 2 years ago and it seemed fitting to celebrate our anniversary in such a witchy wonderland. We spotted something cool everytime we moved. The room was very comfortable and despite being close to a busy area you couldn't hear much when you were inside. Once you close the door to the main street the decor and sounds whisk you off to your own little magical bubble. We would highly recommend and definitely will be back!

Lovely, quirky property, a unique experience. It was very hot outside and no opening window in room but air coolers kept it reasonably cool and also fridge in room to keep drinks cold. Great location right in the centre of everything, but wasn't disturbed by any noise. Good size room. Only negative was mattress wasn't great so didn't sleep too well, or maybe that was because of the ghosts.

Location, location.

Great location, right in the City Centre. A small but very different room giving the feeling you have travelled back in time, but with a little modern comforts. Heating and fridge!! Expensive, but then so is all accommodation in York. Quirky, bit pleased we have ticked this one off our list of places to stay. Probably not suited to an extended stay, one or two nights only. But an experience. 👍
Verified review

6/10 Good

Easy access to the property using the self check in instructions sent to us prior to arriving. Upon entering our room in the property we couldn't help notice the smell of what i can only imagine is sewerage. The appearance and decor is really good and very detailed. I think the price of £190 per night is a bit steep for what you get and because of the bad smell we wont stay here again.

Great location

The location is unbeatable but amenities were sparse - like towels - and it felt like the decor was more important than the comfort factor. The bed was uncomfortable, there were no pegs to hang up your 2 towels, and there was no air flow. Just a fan. It felt like more of an AirBnb than a hotel. If you’re looking for a place where there’s someone to greet you and help you with extra needs and/or recommendations- this is not the place to be.

Amazing, unique hotel that fully commits to the bit. Great location too. Be aware: the rooms are not tall-friendly, and I nearly concussed myself a couple times on the bathroom door frame. And there's no AC, just a fan. But you can't beat the vibe, and it's walkable to pretty much anywhere you'd want to go as a tourist.
