- Wendy (10/5): Excellent - Very close to the centre & a very warm welcome, room was lovely and clean.
- Carol (7/5): -
- Helena (7/5): - Die sehr zentrale Lage war sehr praktisch, wir haben uns auch über den Parkplatz gefreut, obwohl er klein war. Wir hatten Fenster zur Hauptstraße und es war etwas laut. Wir konnten die Zimmertempetatur nicht regulieren, es war uns zu warm.
- Jeanne (8/5): Perfect . - Mark the owner -parking -location location!! N/A
- Sandra snd garry (9/5): Delightful stay in Gillygate guest house - Great location friendly helpful
Owner Mark spacious and clean
Very comfortable room Nothing
- Pfeiffer (9/5): - Very convenient.
The owner couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming.
- Gillian (8/5): Convenient place to stay. - The position just outside the city walls could not have been better and access by road simple. Parking was extremely limited. No food available
- Susie121 (8/5): Goed voor de prijs en locatie - Het was erg fijn dat het zo dichtbij het centrum was. En de host was ook erg vriendelijk. Was geen probleem dat we onze auto al om 10.30 uur komen parkeren aangezien we van de boot af kwamen. Het parkeren was wat lastiger. Er waren een paar plekken, en je kon er pas uit als andere auto's weg waren. Het was een paar keer een beetje puzzelen. Erin en eruit. De kamer was ook erg gehorig. Lag aan de doorgaande weg
- Amber (10/5): Lovely didn’t want to leave - Close to the city centre. Room was lovely and clean and the owner Mark was very welcoming and accommodating and nothing was too much for him.
- Julie (10/5): Would highly recommend Gillygate as a destination close to all facilities and very obliging host. Five 🌟 - Loved the location, Mark was an exceptional host, full information and nothing was too much trouble for him Nothing
- Brian (10/5): -
- Steve (10/5): -
- Janine (6/5): Was told there was parking was crammed in despite md saying I would park at local pay and display, then owner tried to h - Location Wasn’t the cleanest, smell in a morning from the owner cooking their breakfast, smelt greasy when you walk in the door.
- Stephen (8/5): - The location was excellent. Facilities was good for me personally the bed was to soft. The restaurant cafe no
8 bistro was very close and really good food. Low bed to soft, the proprietor came in to our room and opened the window while we were out. This felt slightly intrusive. Had we been told we would have understood.
- Sarah (10/5): - Clean and owner very friendly and welcoming
- Sara (10/5): -
- Darren (10/5): The guest house was very good value for money & literly 5 mins for the pubs 🤘 - In a good location & considering it’s on a busy road there was no noise. The owner was very welcoming & went the extra mile, by gifting a little something for my wife’s birthday 😀 Nothing
- lori (5/5): Won't be back - It wasn't the hotel I thought I'd booked. No bar,food.
Parking was bad
- Andrew (8/5): Mark was very helpful - Fantastic location
- Brian (10/5): Fantastic host - Very well located, big rooms, free parking and the host was very helpful and accommodating
- Mark (9/5): Gillygate great place to stay. - Ideally situated to explore York with the Minster only a stone's throw away. Nothing to dislike.
- Sally (10/5): -
- Cherith (8/5): - Location is fantastic for proximity to everything we wanted to see. Can be hard to get hold of the owner.
- Dorlea (10/5): The property is perfectly located near the Minster and a pleasant walk from the train station. Mark is extremely helpful - LOCATION!!! And Mark is most accommodating. The bathroom is not well lit and the shower is a bit slow, but this is a minor problem that in no way should keep anyone from booking here.
- Roberta Marino (8/5): -
- Isembert (9/5): Comfortable - Quite comfortable and convenient for a short stay and within easy reach of the social life.
- Amarilis (9/5): Buena estancia en el corazón de York - Localización y la atención del personal. Un poco de ruido de la calle.
- grace (7/5): Convenient location - Locating the hotel parking was a bit of trouble ; also climbing 3 story stairs was a bit challenging with suitcases
- Ros (8/5): - Given a choice of rooms, the manager kindly carried my bags up 2 flights of stairs, he also put a small fridge in my room, great location close to.westminster and train station an easy walk away The noise from the street on a Saturday night (i should.have picked the other room!)
- Julia (10/5): -
- Martha (7/5): -
- Hayley Varney (10/5): Excellent value for money for central York - Perfect location for exploring York. We were greeted by a very friendly and helpful Mark who let us park our car early and took in our bags in order for us to go and make the most of our day in the city. We were given a choice of which room we'd like which was lovely. The room was excellent value for money as staying in central York can be quite pricey. Nothing major to report.

La habitación, aunque es un poco antigua, es cómoda y espaciosa. Además, cuenta con pava eléctrica y cafecito de cortesía, que siempre se agradece.
La atención fue excelente: llegamos antes de lo previsto y, aun sin avisar, pudimos dejar nuestras valijas hasta la hora de ingreso.
El agua caliente salía perfectamente y, como plus, tiene un Tesco al lado, lo cual resulta muy práctico.

- Marsh (8/5): - Convenient location
- nicola (7/5): - Mark was very friendly and helpful.
Good nights sleep
Room clean and comfortable Parking was a little tight.
Although Mark was very good at navigating me in and out of the Parking spot
- Natalie (9/5): - Die Lage der Unterkunft war sehr zentral und nur wenige Gehminuten von der Altstadt entfernt.
Der Besitzer der Unterkunft war sehr freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Der Raum war grundsätzlich gut, wir hatten sogar Platz für ein Sofa, was den Comfort sehr erhöht hat.
Einzig das Bett war schon etwas durchgehangen und für zwei Personen unseres Umfangs etwas klein.
- Sean (8/5): - We had a great stay and the owner was very accommodating and helpful.
The room was very clean, with a comfortable bed. The guesthouse is very well place for accessing the city centre and the city walls.
The room that we stayed in was a good size. The showers lacks power, the room was very bright in the morning maybe better curtains or a blind would be good. But these are personal preferences not complaints.
Also the parking is very ideal but is tight, it is well managed by the owner, but definitely worth mentioning it if you need your car for the evening after checking in.
- Holly (9/5): We had a great stay - access to the city couldn't have been better! - The location couldn't have been better for access to the city, especially the Art Gallery & Hospitium where we were attending a wedding. Although there is parking, it is very tight with only space for 2 cars! Can't really complain, as it's free & most other hotels/B&Bs we looked at charged sky high prices for parking at their places.

- Chris (8/5): - Location was good, very clean and friendly. That fact that we thought we'd booked Gillygate Pub, because the photos that came up were from there. So taken aback when arrived at the pub and told us we we not booked in.
Fortunately or not they had had this happen before and directed us to Gillygate Guest House.
Thought we should make aware so this doesn't happen to anyone else.
The Guest House friendly and very clean.

Not far to walk into town.
Lovely host.
Will definately stay here again .
Well done! Nothing at all.
- Hagan (10/5): - Absolutely lovely little hotel, Mark was very accommodating, changed us to a down stairs room due to my recent accident Nothing
- Alison (5/5): Nice room, but hard to sleep. - Room was very clean and warm, bed was comfortable.The owner was friendly.Close to centre so everything in easy walking distance.Owner very helpful getting us parked in dark and rain. I don't want to be negative but there was a lot of light pollution in the room from the TV, under the door from hallway and from the street, which the curtains did not block. In the room we were in at the front there was also a lot of noise from the street both traffic noise and revellers. It is a city centre hotel in a university town so maybe this is to be expected but possibly more could be done to reduce the light in the room.
- Joanna (10/5): - We really enjoyed our stay. The host was very friendly and helpful, which made a big difference. The room was clean, spacious, and very warm, and the bed was comfortable.
The location is excellent – very close to the city centre, so everything is within easy reach. We also really appreciated the parking included in the price, as it made our stay much more convenient.
- Istvan (10/5): - Our host was really kind. We arrived a bit early and he allowed us to park up and gave us the keys so we could get back any time we like to.
The location is perfect! Walking distance to the city centre. The facilities were nice and clean. Nothing to mention!
- Sheila (10/5): Great place to stay even the car park was great. The host was amazing and friendly not too much to ask him anything xx - The property was clean and tidy
