    The only bad thing was that the room was soooo warm! Could almost not breathe in there. Such a shame! Also the pillows were pretty hard.

    Everything was brilliant! The staff, the vibe, the location. We felt so welcome!

    The rooms were nice and cleverly decorated but very dark. We had to use a mobile light to see the coffee options and even with both bed light and top light on it was hard to read a book. Why so dark?

    Very nice location behind park and cloister gardens. Cosy and fun breakfast.

    There was nothing that we didn't like. We loved this guesthouse.

    Loved this guesthouse really quirky but modern. Loved the four-poster bed and the tea /coffee making facilities were very good 👍 Breakfast was excellent we opted for the breakfast in bed option but you could take breakfast in the Lounge aswell which was small but well equipped. The staff we saw were very helpful and inviting. We would definitely stay here again we had a lovely time in York which is only a 5-10min walk from this guesthouse.

    Nothing to complain about, though the shower was not very powerful.

    Good check in/check out times. Free tea and coffee all day, in the lounge. Excellent breakfast. 5 minute walk to the "walls". Very friendly staff.

    After booking I read the other reviews which included small rooms, poor breakfast & steep stairs so we arrived with some trepidation. The pre arrival information was detailed & helpful. For an old building, our room which had a view of the Minster was surprisingly spacious in a lovely shade of green, with plenty of storage and a generous bathroom. The breakfast was very tasty & despite my partner’s brief grumble of “what no eggs?” was enough to keep us going for some time after. The stairs despite my not being too good on my feet were no problem. Overall, we had an extremely comfortable bed, quality linens, clean everything, substantial breakfast in bed & friendly staff (even at 7 in the morning!) so we had a delightful stay. Would recommend. Didn’t take advantage of the tuck box or the sweeties but the cake was lovely with a cup of tea in the early hours!

    There was nothing not to like.

    What an amazing find. The room we stayed in was beautifully and quirkily decorated with circus style wallpaper, accessories and bright but complimentary colours. The shower was large and powerful and there was also a bath. Always a bonus. The bed was large and comfortable. Breakfast could be taken in the lounge (equally quirky and very inviting) or in bed. There was a communal fridge stocked with milk and sweets (love hearts and the like) dotted all over. Parking was also available for an extra fee which was one of the reasons we chose this hotel. York centre was also just on the doorstep. I would highly recommend and hope to return.

    The only drawback is no air conditioning but we were there during a bit of a heat wave (75F in May) which may be unusual.

    We were looking for an older, charming, English lodging walking distance to city center and this was exactly it. Bed was very comfortable, nice shower, quiet and relaxing environment, charming building. We loved walking through the Abbey park each morning to city center. It was easy to order a custom breakfast each day as well. Great way to start our day!
