Convenient and friendly

Greta location, 10-15 mins walk into the city centre. Very warm welcome from the chap at the hotel. Couldn’t do enough for us. Room was spotless, tea and coffee facilities. Hotels.com advertise a free breakfast but they don’t do this anymore. Not an issue for us but could probably be updated. Slight noise from other rooms and the street but the hotel provide earplugs and the windows have an extra screen to try and keep noise out. If street noise really bothers you, don’t book a hotel on a main road. Would stay here again 100%. Thank you to the team!

A great find.

A nice little hotel, close to the centre and restaurants. We only booked one night so we could meet with friends in the city, but will definitely stay here again when visiting York in the future.

Walm welcome from the owners. My small single room was at the very top and my case was carried up for me and down at the end of the stay. A kitchen was available to make drinks and warm up food. That was good. The room was very small but clean and the bed was comfortable. The property was well positioned with easy access to York centre. I enjoyed my stay.

In desperate need of refurbishment. Room wasn’t clean enough, there were cobwebs in the room and mould in the bathroom. Mattress wasn’t that comfortable and very springy, it needed to be thrown out. I was given the impression that breakfast was served from website and when I booked it. New owners need to take this off website. I know that you get what you pay for but I would expect room to be cleaned to a certain standard and a mattress which is not like a bed of nails. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Nice guest house in good area for the city

Lovely little guest house, parking costs £5 as it is on street parking with permit, receptionist does it for you online. Friendly welcome, we booked a twin with own bathroom, (rm2) got upgraded to room 1 with onsuite. Really glad we did as rm 2's bathroom.was across the hall from.bedroom, opened by its own key! Our room Had everything we needed, hairdryer, iron and board, tv. Kettle, tea and coffees, we would stay here again as very close to town and nice guest house. 2 small down sides are our room was above owners accommodation so could hear washing machine , phonecalls. But i was baffled by the illuminated emergency fire exit sign was on the inside of our room. Above our only exit so room brightly lite all night, mentioned it this morning to reception. No breakfast option offered as read previously it did a fab breakfast but plenty of places to eat nearby

We had to leave the property after the first night and relocate as the room was full of Mould and no better/suitable rooms available I was refunded easily enough but our room should not have been let in the first instance in this condition, it was grim.

Location was excellent, 15 minute walk from train station and 15 minute walk to the city centre. A bit of traffic noise from the road from our room. Moors was excellent, friendly and helpful. Perhaps the room doors and wardrobe doors can do with some oiling as they squeaked a lot!

Okay for a cheap stay if you're happy to get what you pay for. It's an old building, so if you're over 5ft 9, it's hard to move without headbutting a lampshade or banging your legs on a cupboard.

Location was great. That’s about where the positives end. Booking said we would get breakfast but on arrival we were told that’s no longer an option. The site said permit parking was available, so I presumed we’d be on street parking however on arrival we were told to squeeze the car into a small space (driveway) behind the property, still paying for the privilege. We got the vibe from the check in person that they were more interested in rushing to get us checked in so we could leave them to it and therefore weren’t particularly helpful. The room when we got into it looked absolute NOTHING like the photos - may as well have been a different hotel. The photos made it look nice and modern, when in reality it was much more run down. The bathroom had mould on the walls and all around the bath. Also lots of small hairs left in the bath when we arrived, from a previous guest. We tried to make the most of it and headed off out for the evening to enjoy our night away but then when we returned we had the worst nights sleep we’ve ever had. People walking round on creaky floors kept us awake, not to mention the consistent banging of the windows caused by the wind. I know you can’t help the weather but the provisions to keep the wind out were awful and kept us awake all night. The bed myself was very hard too, which made it an uncomfortable sleep. Advert said premium bedding - it was not premium. All in all, the place was cheap and the location was great. Everything else was very poor.
