About The George & Dragon Hotel
York's Market Place sits right in the thick of the city's historic centre, and The George & Dragon Hotel occupies a spot on it, putting guests within easy reach of the surrounding landmarks. The hotel combines traditional character with modern comforts across its 20 rooms, though some of these are on the older side and could do with updating.
Food is a strong point here, with a restaurant serving generous, freshly cooked breakfasts and homemade burgers that regularly win praise for their size and value. There's also a bar, a garden for quieter moments, and free WiFi throughout. The hotel doubles as a wedding venue and has meeting rooms available, making it suitable for events as well as overnight stays, and pets are welcome too.
Staff are consistently noted as friendly and welcoming, adding to the relaxed feel of a stay. Free on-site parking is a practical bonus in a city centre location where parking can otherwise be difficult, and the Market Place setting means York's attractions are within easy walking distance.

What guests say
Lovely room and bathroom. Shower is fab. The rooms have obviously been recently renovated and are so nice and fresh. One thing missing, a full length mirror in the bedroom. Breakfast was good and freshly cooked to order. Good size car park to the rear

The hotel part of the inn refuses to honor bookings. Don't depend on them. I have booked 2 double rooms on 08 March 2026 at 23:02, 1 night each, for £140 in total. On 03 July 2026, the hotel contacted me through Bookingcom-Cchat, claiming the the hotel had been renovated in the meantime and that I would have to make a new booking at higher price.
