Guest Reviews

• Rita (7/5): -
• Marie Louise (9/5): Prima guesthouse met een gastvrije host! - De ligging was prima en een goede gastheer! Geen opmerkingen
• Enrica (10/5): Hoping to come back soon - Amazing english breakfast, Spyros is very kind and helpful. The room was comfortable and very quiet. Nothing, the structure is perfect. Obviously if you have movement limitation could be an issue, but this point is clear and you have one or two floor to reach your bedrooms.
• Julie (8/5): -
• Davina (10/5): -
• Gallegos del Santo (9/5): Precioso. - El lugar es precioso, como quedado en el tiempo. El barrio lindísimo y está super bien ubicado. La atención es muy cordial, el dueño muy amoroso. La ducha, el agua caliente no fue lo mejor.
• ALAIN (8/5): A very nice stay and the staff is very nice. I would like to thank them for the breakfast which was excellent every morn - Close to everything Noise in other rooms . Somebody left their tv on all night long but did apologize in the morning in front of the man in charge
• wendy (9/5): Very welcoming host. Good breakfast. - Comfortable. Good location.
• Art (8/5): Great location for walking to York attractions - The location is excellent – – we were able to walk to the Yorkminster and the meeting point for the Mountain goat Tours. The dining room has a designated table for each room, and the tables are very nicely set with quality tableware. Breakfast is from 8:30–9:30, and choices are continental breakfast or a full English breakfast. The full English breakfast includes very generous portions of bacon, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, and toast. The rooms and bathrooms are very small. There is a dresser with the drawers that can be used to unload your suitcase – – otherwise it is difficult to find room to open the suitcase.
• Abbott (9/5): Very lovely and friendly - The hosts were lovely and very attentive. Room was clean and tidy. Facilities were as expected.
• Julie (7/5): Over all a nice hotel - We liked the location and the owners were very friendly. No wardrobe in the room, too many chairs and cushions
• Mariëtte (7/5): Prima ligging, top ontbijt - Ligging en de vriendelijkheid van de gastheer De badkamer is veel te klein en moet nodig gerenoveerd worden
• John (10/5): A great place to experience a historic northern England city. - Quiet setting just outside of the busy tourist area. A real bed and breakfast, with a traditional full English breakfast.
• Julien_gnts (8/5): Personnel très sympa, emplacement idéal, le combo parfait pour un séjour très agréable ! - le propriétaire aux petits soins toujours avec le sourire, emplacement idéal, le combo parfait pour un séjour très agréable ! Matelas un peu vieux
• Ulrike (9/5): Wir wollen da wieder hin! - Das wunderbare englische Frühstück wurde jeden morgen vom sehr netten Eigentümer persönlich zubereitet und serviert. Er ging auf alle Wünsche und Allergien ein. Glutenfrei war gar kein Problem. Das schön dekorierte Zimmer war für 2 Personen groß genug, allerdings wäre ein Schrank angenehm gewesen. Nix.
• Janine (10/5): Bloody ripper mate - Very warm and welcoming host Spiro who made you feel right at home. Cosy room with a delicious hot breakfast of a morning. Great location just outside the walls. Nothing
• Margaret (10/5): - Spiros is a lovely host. The guest House was clean and comfortable and the bed was really comfy. A really short walk to the Museum park and the town. We would thoroughly recommend Nothing
• McMeekin (10/5): AAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG!!!!! - Everything was exceptional. I would HIGHLY recommend this property to anyone staying in or around York. Nothing! It was all great!
• Anastasia (9/5): - The host Mr Spyros is a lovely man sharing lost of valuable information about the area and eager to help with any requests.
• marion (9/5): - Perfecte locatie om hiervan wandelend naar het prachtige centrum van York te gaan. Het ontbijt had ietsje uitgebreider gemogen als je geen English Breakfast nam
• Kyle (10/5): Brilliant - lovely host, great room and location Nothing
• MICHAEL (8/5): - Warm, and continued, welcome from owners. Exceptional value. Ideal location (park car) walk throughout city. Poor shower. Rather cramped bathroom facilities.
• Ammoury (10/5): The stay is very recommended - The kindness and generosity of the owner Nothing
• Stephen (7/5): Steve's solo visit - The friendliness of the owner and the B&Bs location. The breakfast was good on the first morning. Not having an ensuite room. Having to leave my room to go to the shower room and toilet. And getting locked out of the hotel on the first night of my stay. The breakfast was a bit tepid on my last morning.
• Chloe (10/5): -
• Robert (8/5): Excellent venue for staying next to my son and grandchildren and to look around York on foot. - The cooked breakfast was excellent and the owner and his daughter were delightful.
• Alexandra (9/5): Perfect stay to discover York and its surroundings. - Lovely hosts and pretty rooms in a perfect location, quiet but still very close to the river and the city centre.
• Helena (4/5): Super Lage aber die Ausstattung und Sauberkeit war enttäuschend! - Die Lage ist super. Die Betreiber sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung. Die Matratzen waren komplett durchgelegen, wir konnten die ganze Nacht kein Auge zumachen. Zudem war das Zimmer sehr schmutzig. Die Toilette war dreckig, es lagen im Bad überall Haare, das Waschbecken und die Armaturen waren alle dreckig. Die Tapeten haben sich schon von den Wänden gelöst und die Fenster wurden auch schon lange nicht mehr geputzt. Wir waren auf einem 10-tägigen Trip durch England und diese Unterkunft war leider mit Abstand die schlimmste!
• DaveandSandra (10/5): Exceptional hospitality - It was in an ideal location for what we wanted. The owners were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was exceptional. The room was clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely book again
• Danielle (8/5): - j'ai déjà repondu ; accueil très bien et agreable ; chambre petite (fait pour une personne) et petit dejeuner tres bien salle d'eau vraiment petite
• Lisa (10/5): We will make a return visit - Spiros the host was so warm and welcoming such a lovely man. Breakfast set us up for the day . And the bed was like sleeping on a cloud super comfortable . Have no negatives at all

• Burns (8/5): We enjoyed our stay and was made to feel welcome and the hosts were on hand in case we needed anything. We would stay ag - The family vintage vibe. Lovely smell of cooked breakfast in the morning. Quiet location and close to city. We felt safe. Very friendly hosts that made us feel very welcome In hindsight, I should have booked an en suite. It was inconvenient when needing to use the loo. My husband was unwell during the second night so that made it worse.
• Marcus (9/5): Perfect just what you want from a B&B - A Very warm and friendly stay definitely stay again when we next visit York
• Evelin (9/5): -
• Moorhouse (8/5): York is a fabulous destination with lots to do and see and a really good vibe . - Excellent breakfast. Excellent hosts.fantastic location. Room comfortable if a little dated.lot of noise from room nearest to ours, lots of trips to the toilet which l know can't be helped but it didn't make for a restful sleep.
• Hartopp (6/5): Lovely owners, lovely breakfast just a shame about the condition of the property. - Owners were lovely, very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was exceptional, the property needed some upgrading as was very dated. Rooms made bigger. Bathroom very tiny so couldn't sit on toilet properly. Shower very small and dated. Window didn't shut properly. If anyone moved about in their room on top floor all the boards creaked. The whole attic level needed totally re decorating.
• JAMES (5/5): Very reasonable considering low cost for major city and excellent location. - Excellent breakfast, excellent location Bathroom washbasin small and difficult to use
• Agnieszka (10/5): - The host will make your stay special. Friendly, informative and always ready to help. We had a great stay, room was comfortable and very clean, and breakfast delicious Bathroom was tiny but it is to be expected in old houses

Free on street parking, a must in York. Easy & Pleasant 5 Minute walk into the city centre. Decor a bit dated but in line with the traditional property
• Cassidy (10/5): Charming and thoughtful, the Sycamore House provided a lovely getaway with unique personal touches. - Absolutely lovely stay. The owners (The Old Greek and his daughter) were warm and welcoming, and the residence has so much charm and character. Centrally located yet quiet, it was the perfect area to enjoy York. The breakfast was excellent as well, with a generous portion and thoughtful touches. My first day I had left a dress draped on a chair, and when I returned to the room, it had been carefully hung up in the wardrobe for me. Truly one of the best stays I’ve had on any of my travels, and I look forward to returning soon.
• Robert Steele (8/5): - The location Know window to open
• Shelster (10/5): - Wonderful and friendly owners, nice and clean and fabulous food. There is not anything that I didn't like.

• Bill (10/5): -
• Barani (10/5): We had a lovely stay at Sycamore Guest House and hope to be back again someday.🙂 - The location was great. Our bed was really comfortable and we had a lovely cooked breakfast. Lovely hosts. The shelf above our sink, wasn’t able to wash my face properly or brush your teeth over the sink without having to uncomfortably get your head right underneath the shelf. Some Yorkshire tea bags would have been nice and fresh milk instead of the life long one, I couldn’t enjoy a cup of tea because of it.
• Christopher (10/5): -
• Lynne (10/5): A lovely break close to all amenities - It’s in a fantastic location, nice and homely. Very good breakfast. Stayed before and would again. Couldn’t find a fault at all

• shruthi (7/5): Very cozy room in convenient location - Very near to the train station and to major attractions or restaurants. Very friendly and helpful host. Neat cozy room. The bathroom was very small and a bit moldy. Could be an issue if you are a tall person.

• Annette (8/5): Thank you - Ok To many cushions. Pillows.
• Linda (8/5): -

Will definitely return! Nothing negative at all
• Grzegorz (9/5): - Wszystko ok.
• Paul (6/5): Ok stay in York near railway station - Landlord is a lovely guy really helpful, nice cup of coffee in morning and bed was comfy. Room a little dated for me and ensute too tight ...basically to sit on toilet I needed door open...for info we was on top floor so eaves encroach in room

• Evie (9/5): - Very friendly, welcoming host, nicely decorated room, extremely clean and comfortable, Good cooked breakfast included in the fee. The location is within 5-10min walking distance of the city centre and parking is available (for a fee) outside the b&b.

• peipei (10/5): - 美味的早餐 漂亮的房子 热情的房东 干净 卫生
• Richard (9/5): Overall a very enjoyable trip - The breakfast was ver good with a range of choices The location was ideal for the city centre and there was parking provided meaning we could walk straight in to the centre and see all the places of interest No real problems
• William (8/5): -
• Dawn (6/5): Basic Housekeeping - Host was kind and enthusiastic very chatty . First impressions last plastic chairs under the sign as you walk up to the property, I totally understand it is an old property, but that doesn't mean it can't be clean.The bed was comfy and the bedding clean but there was cobwebs hanging fom the ceiling and also a lot of dust on the wood holding the drapes above the bed .It's priced at £140 with breakfast. I paid £108 with a discount on booking.com, but I really think it's overpriced, and realistically, it should be £90. We will not be going back .

• adrian (8/5): - Really friendly hosts, great location as only 10 min walk along the river to york centre, nice breakfast, Would have no second thoughts in returning but would stay in a larger room as small en suite was definately small. Enjoyed our stay thankyou
