Guest Reviews
- Genevieve (10/5): - Great location, easy taxi ride from the train station & we could easily walk to city center. Apartment was homey, spacious & comfortable with everything we needed for a 3 night stay, including a washer/dryer to do our own laundry. Definitely recommend staying here when in York
- Deborah (10/5): - Like the view River rooms were large and spacious.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great find - We were really happy with the flat. Great location, lots of space, everything we needed and the added bonus of a garage.
The communication was great, there was a small problem with the hot water when we checked in and Patrick was there within 10 minutes and sorted it out.
There was a bit of noise from above as it sounded like children running about and banging but this was just unfortunate and did not detract from the accommodation.
Would definitely stay again.
- Chris (10/5): - My family and I loved the stay and the area. The host was quick to respond. You will love this place and York. Book it and you wont regret it. You are so close to everything and right next to the water.
- Kelly (10/5): Home away from home - This was such a nice property for our family of 5. The location was excellent and everyone had lots of space. The view was great, especially at sunrise.The hosts communicated well and the property was even better than we expected. We would absolutely stay here again.
- Hazel (10/5): - Spacious, comfortable apartment overlooking the river with a garage for parking. Excellent location within walking distance of top sites and restaurants. Super hosts. Cannot fault and would highly recommend.
- Wayne (10/5): - Great location, clean, well equipped good communication. Would come again!
- Mandy (10/5): - Great location and spacious warm apartment.
- thomas (10/5): Great for the family stay in York - Great stay. Home fully stocked with everything you could need. Patrick communicated well and had all ready. Great location right on the river and steps fro river cruise and bars/restaurants/Shambles. Highly recommend.
- Diana (10/5): - Great location,
- Mary (10/5): - What a lovely place. And Patrick the host was impeccable. They went above and beyond to deal with my chemical sensitivities, switching out to fragrance free soap & cleaners for me, and opening the windows and completely airing the apartment before arrival. They sent a great e-mail that explained in detail how to get to the property & how to access it. Worked flawlessly. The location was fabulous, we easily walked everywhere. Patrick even answered my questions about where to find a specific gift I was looking for.
I will say that there are a few things that I should mention however. It is an end unit, with the one bedroom on the ground floor. The entire apartment is in a line (bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom), with the bedroom in the front (with the bay window), and there is a small sidewalk & boat dock just outside. So at night we had to close the curtains.There is a small hallway that leads from the living area to the bedroom that is 2-steps down, then 2 steps back up (lowered to avoid hitting your head on the stair to the upstairs apartment??). With the curtains closed it was dark & doing those steps at night to get to the opposite end of the apartment to go to the bathroom was a bit dicey. Fortunately I brought a small battery tealight and placed it on a step so I could see at night.
Also, a small written sheet to explain basics, like garbage/recyling requirements, location of hair dryer (desk in bedroom) & outlet adapter (kitchen cupboard) would be helpful.
- Kenneth (10/5): - A fantastic property in a brilliant location
- Ian (8/5): - The bedroom had a lovely view of the river and the bed was very comfortable.
The pull couch bed was a bit uncomfortable for two adults
- Lesley (8/5): - The apartment is in an excellent location right by the river, two minutes walk from several restaurants and five minutes walk to York centre. It was lovely and warm and the garage a huge bonus. The kitchen was well equipped. We were surprised that there was no welcome pack as is standard in self catering accommodation and the kettle was heavily lime scaled. We bought some descaler but it needs several attempts so we had to use a pan to heat water for drinks. The person in the accommodation above the apartment was very noisy and played music every night so that really spoilt our stay in an otherwise quiet location.
- Monica (10/5): - A wonderful and comfortable spacious apartment in a brilliant position. It was spotlessly clean and had all the facilities you could ask for. A bonus with having its own garage too.
The host was very helpful and instructions were easy to follow.
- Simon (10/5): Fab apartment ideally located - Fabulous apartment with an amazing view over the river. Ideally located for all amenities in York.
- Matthew (10/5): Riverside apartment no.8 - Excellent location in the centre of York. The rooms are nice and the apartment was clean and modern. Parking was available with the use of the garage.
- Farquhar (10/5): Recommended! - Wonderful stay in perfect apartment
- Cynthia (10/5): - This is a lovely quaint place to stay So glad we did!
- Clive (10/5): Great location - Excellent location right in the heart of the city, on the bank of the Ouse. Clean and spacious, would recommend without any hesitation. An excellent stay.
- Patsy (10/5): Lovely place - Beautiful location right next to the river and a few minutes walk into the city centre and all the attractions. Owners were very helpful and sent us information on things we could do in York on our visit. Property was extremely comfortable. Lovely spacious living room looking out on to the river. There were five of us, but could easily have slept three couples and two extra. Would definitely go again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Vg sitation for railway station and local sights. Good restaurants nearby and all very friendly

- Michael (10/5): - We enjoyed this large, well-equipped space which was close to all the sights but still quiet and calm. It had a great view of the river from the bedroom and was very close to some good restaurants.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great apartment for our York city trip. Ideal location and perfect base for exploring the city.
- Paul (8/5): - The property was close to the town with easy access to shops, and bars. The area was quite quiet of night considering its location to the town. Had a relaxing stay.
- Meya (10/5): - We were so impressed with the townhouse. Parked the car right outside and didn’t move it until we left 3 days later. Perfect location - all of York’s attractions a few minutes walk away, lovely restaurants, pubs, shops the same. We enjoyed walks and runs along the river in the mornings. The house was spacious and ideal for our family with lovely views. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. Communication was great - most definitely recommend .
- nirali (10/5): - A lovely place to stay, all within walking distance to major sights, even for elderly parents. Patrick was so helpful even allowing us to keep our bags there on our final day ( Apologies for the delay again Patrick) Highly recommended to anyone visiting York.
- Naomi (8/5): - The location was great in terms of walking everywhere. It was lovely to be right on the river. The main bedroom was very comfortable, but the sofa bed in the lounge was not. Neighbours in the upstairs flat were noisy until late the first 2 nights, but after that it was peaceful. Overall we would recommend for a short stay for a family of 4.
- Peter (10/5): - Great Location

Spotlessly clean, well decorated and furnished.

- Pamela (10/5): Family vacation - We spent 3 days in York and stayed at the Riverside. The home was lovely and had everything needed for a perfect 'home away from home.' Patrick Lavers, the owner, was prompt to respond to every question we had. If we ever have the opportunity to visit York again, The Riverside York, is where we would choose to stay. It is convenient walking distance to nearly everything you would want to visit while there. If you decide to stay here, you will not be disappointed!

The apartment is superbly located a short walk from the attractions, almost literally a stones throw from York castle museum and Clifford's Castle.
The apartment was cosy and welcoming with everything catered for after a long drive (tea, coffee, sugar)
Patrick was very helpful and responsive when we had questions and always replied in good time.
York is a wonderful city for families and couples with great restaurants, bars and museums aimed at all ages, and its so much nicer when you can relax at the end of a busy day!
Thanks again!

Beautiful views of the river from the bedroom and a bench outside to be able to watch the world go by, with a takeaway pint from one of the pubs down the road. Private parking in the attached garage was a bonus. Kitchen had everything we needed and the bathroom has underfloor heating. Perfect apartment and location for our first visit to York, would highly recommend!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - We had a lovely stay here at Riverside. As a family of four there was plenty of space. The kitchen was very well stocked with cooking utensils and had all the appliances needed to have a nice home cooked meal as a family.
Bedrooms were spacious and well presented and the bathrooms were large with one having views across the river when in the bath.
Overall we loved the location being so near to all the shops and attractions and being on the riverfront gave us the opportunity to watch the boats, the passing visitors and a flock of geese who sauntered along the front every day like a bunch of locals!
Great experience, would like to return soon for another stay.
- Michelle (10/5): excellent location and a comfortable stay - The location is amazing. Right in the centre of town on the river so easy to get to the shops, bars, Yorkminster.

- Susan (10/5): Beautiful apartment and position - This apartment is gorgeous - overlooking the River from the bedroom - also a bench outside overlooking the River.
There was a private attached garage which was brill as there was no nearby parking. Everything is in walking distant anyway.
