- Mary (9/5): - Excellent location as walking distance from train station and tourist attractions
Fast response from host Karen
- Nicola (8/5): Great find - Great location easy walk from station.
Basic accommodation, but clean.
Individual rooms in a house.
The price. Good value Pillows. Found 1 that was okish.
- Maria Belen (7/5): Cumplio - La ubicación es ideal, a unas cuadras de la catedral y de todo el centro. Súper calentito el ambiente. Fueron como 4 pisos por escalera de alfombra y no avisaba. La ducha es DIMINUTA, nivel no podia poner ni el jabon. Pero buena presion de agua.
- Michelle (10/5): Wish we could’ve stayed longer - More than happy with our stay.
Quiet and comfortable property with a great location to all the main attractions.The hosts are lovely and friendly.
Will return in the winter. Nothing
- Ginevra (8/5): - Posizione perfetta ed estremamente comoda. Camera confortevole e insonorizzata Lenzuoli e asciugamani con qualche macchina e bagno rumoroso ma solo quando si apriva l'acqua. La notte era silenzioso
- Nicholas (9/5): Ideal accommodation for a short stay -
- helen (9/5): - Nice room ideal getting ur head now so close to everything would stay here again thanks karen 😄
- charlotte (10/5): Great Stay! Would definitely stay again ☺️ - It was so close to the main city centre and the room was decorated lovely. Nothing.
- Paul (10/5): next door to minster, 10 minutes walk to the train station and all the sights, would definitely stay again . - quiet comfortable and walking distance to all the sights station and centre no faults
- Diane (10/5): - Stayed before last Nov. It's so close to minster and everything. Bed was so comfy and room is clean. Karen was on hand if we needed anything extra Must admit the heating came on during night which made it very warm and pipes banged abit
- Maria (8/5): Agradable - Muy bien ubicado Muchas escaleras para ir a mi dormitorio
- Dale (10/5): -
- Ritchel (10/5): - The location is too close to everything that you need. Karen (the owner) is so responsive. It’s a beautiful place to stay. Just few steps outside the place, you can have the entrance to the York’s wall .. of course apart from it being close to the York Minster and shops. Maybe an extra pillow would be best. :) But ptherwise, this place is so amazing and well maintained.
- Maria (8/5): Incredible location. - Basic and clean accommodation just minutes away from the city centre
- douglas (10/5): -
- O'Brien (7/5): Lovely room in ideal location - Location was ideal. room was as advertised. Great communication from owner. The bathroom wasn’t as clean as I’d have liked. I had to wipe the toilet seat and wipe around the sink etc. could’ve done with a better clean prior to our stay.
- Mark (10/5): - I like the soft seat in the room. But would be nice if they added small table to put a cup of tea on it.
I would visit again.
- Carrie (10/5): -
- MARIA (10/5): - 🥰 🥰
- Lyons (7/5): -
- Ronn K (8/5): Quiet, clean comfortable place, great location - Quiet, clean, comfortable basic room. Nothing fancy but worked well for us. Great location minutes from the Minster and Shambles WiFi could be faster. Would be nice to have conditioner for the shower
- Steven (8/5): - Clean and very comfortable room Nothing
- Davina (10/5): -
- Robert (9/5): - Great location in the city
- Allyson (10/5): Great location and cozy, well-sized room! -
- Jenny (7/5): Lovely little room. Great location - Convenient location no mini fridge
- Lisa (9/5): Value for money and great location. - The room was exactly as advertised.
Friendly welcome as they had just finished preparing the room.
Very close to everything in York and a great base for sightseeing. The closest car park is very expensive.
- Mitchell (9/5): -
- Ruth (8/5): -
- Anita (9/5): Karen was very helpful & replied to any text messages straigh away - The property was in a good location as was not far from the station & right near York Minster. The property was clean & my bed very comfortable & tea & coffee etc was provided & so was shower gel & hand washing with towels, extra pillows & hair dryer Nothing really. The attic room did have 6 short flights of stairs, 50 steps approx to climb, but I did choose that room
- Ian (8/5): Generally good value accomodation and close to many of the cities facilities. - the accomodation was close to much of historic york and easy to get back too This comment is just personal. Although I could manage the stairs, I did find them a little difficult at times, and did not appreciate from the description of the property that the room was on the top floor.
- Alexander (10/5): Hyggelig og koselig bosted, sentralt og rent. - Det var renslig, sentralt og verten var veldig hyggelig. Ingenting.
- Ben (7/5): Simple, clean and comfortable - The room was as expected, big room, with decent size bathroom. Some aspects of the room could be better, such as the size of the shower in comparison to the room it is in and the finish of the decor. But if you need somewhere comfortable to stay with no frills, it was perfectly adequate.
- Caroline (8/5): - The bed was very comfortable The heating pipes at night
The noise we did not realise how busy the roads were
- Paul (10/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): A good place to stay in York - The room was very large. Very good. Location: accommodation was not easy to find.
- Lilith (9/5): Nice, clean and comfortable - good for a short stay! - We had a lovely stay in the room, it had everything we needed. The bed was lovely and comfortable, the bathroom super clean with soap and body wash and we enjoyed our complimentary Yorkshire Tea in the morning. It was well located near nice restaurants and not too far from the centre. Would recommend! The communication was a little bit stilted but overall not bad and didn't affect our stay. You can hear when people are in the hallway but we had no issues with anyone being loud.
- Jessica (10/5): Perfect location, big cosy clean room, owner was super easy to contact and literally everything was so close! - Had an absolutely lovely stay room was very clean and bed was super cosy! Had a TV, a nice wardrobe, a couch, tea and coffee making facilities, a big bathroom and even an LED mirror in the bathroom and bedroom to do your makeup etc! In a very convenient location on a road with Tesco express just a min away and everything was pretty much a 10 min walk away - check in was also super easy. Definitely recommend :)
- Deepthi (10/5): Thanks. - Perfect loccation, very clean and comfortable room .
- Amelie (9/5): -
- Robert (7/5): An attractive room, excellent location, easy to access, with a couple of niggling features. - The location was excellent, with quick walking access to the city and Minster; and the street became quiet for sleeping from around 11pm. The decor was tastefully done, the bed and bedding was comfortable and access to the keys worked well. The secondary glazing in the bedroom helped to reduce the noise of the street, but I could not open it to get fresh air into the room. As no breakfast was offered, I brought my own, but there was no fridge to keep it fresh. The shower head dropped and there was no extractor fan working in the bathroom.
- Mégane (8/5): Logement à 2 pas du centre historique de York - Proche du centre historique de York, nous y avons très bien dormi. La chambre est spacieuse et agréable. Le système pour la douche est un peu spécial et difficile à réguler sans que l'eau ne passe de très froid à très chaud.
- Barclay (9/5): Excellent experience staying here and would definitely recommend for a city break - I liked how close the property was to the man part of the city and was very easy to get around! Only fault is no parking, but understandable given the location. There are car parks not too far from the property
- Dulcie (9/5): -
- Lorna (8/5): Good place to stay value for money - Clean and tidy.
Asked if we would like clean towels , room cleaned and bins emptied after a couple of days
So close to town and all bars and shops
- Ashley (10/5): Perfect location and good value for money for races weekend and compared to other accommodation. - Location was perfect, communication from owner was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable, the shower was good. We would definitely stay here again. Would have preferred a parking option. The iron was unclean and would have stained my clothes had I not used a towel.
- Cornelius (8/5): Very good value - Location, price Front door stiff and a 3 step-up
- Margaret (8/5): I felt safe alone. Had a lovely time. Being centrally located and quiet room was the best. - Central. Close to everything, buses, city wall, restaurants. Very quiet room in center of town. Close to mini market for snacks etc. The bathroom had odour, but not game changer. Some basic cutlery would have been helpful.
Easy for me but hard if anyone couldn’t maneuver steps.
- Robert (7/5): - Close to the centre WiFi is for design only. Takes like 5 min to load a photo. It wasn't mentioned that the atic is on the 3rd floor, no lift.
- adam (8/5): -
- monica (9/5): - Ubicación. La atención de Karen su buena predisposición y ayuda! Muy amplia y cómoda la habitación y el baño. Buena iinternet Nada
- Amanda (9/5): Super, would definitely stay again & recommend. - Amenities perfect. Everything needed was at hand. Plenty of tea making items. Bed was comfortable.
Perfect location. A few long dark hairs in the shower.
- Clyde (9/5): Great room, would definitely recommend. - Incredibly convenient, large room, comfortable bed Occasional bad smell from the macerating toilet
- Glenn (7/5): -
- Anthony (1/5): - No communication through the booking com app. Once I arrived in York I could not contact the property for entrance instructions.
They apparently sent me some info through whatsApp. I don't even use it. Booking. Com also failed to reach the property. I had to make a last minute booking. Cost me double the price. Booking. com only reimbursed me £79.
- Mark (9/5): -
- Linda (8/5): -
- Dominika (8/5): Central location with a comfortable bed - The location is great, nearly on the doorstep of York Minster, with a fantastic Love Cheese (and wine) shop right opposite and plenty of local amenities. Although I haven't seen any staff, I received text messages asking about my arrival, mid stay cleans etc, which was nice. The bed was medium hard with a soft topper. The heating was on, which made my autumn stay very comfortable. Plus, the walk in shower and water temperature were great. Due to the location and set up, this accommodation is not suitable for light sleepers or people with mobility issues, which I knew and was fine with, but it might be helpful information for other travellers.
A modern day problem - the TV was very small and I struggled to see the screen; it might be worth for the accommodation to consider changing the position of the TV in relation to the bed of the sofa.
- Diana (8/5): - Good location. All one needed in the room. The drain in the bathroom needs clearing as the water is slow draining. Noise from Gillygate most of the night.
- Pointer (8/5): -
- michael (9/5): A really lovely four days. It was good to be so near the minster and other attractions. - Excellent location. Spacious. Tea and coffee. Fresh thick carpets. The boxes for the keys were a little high fir short people.and it took a while to work out hiw to open them. I found it a little difficult to get a comfortable temperature at night
- Scott (1/5): -
- Mónica (7/5): Fair enough - The location was amazing, very close to everything just walking. The bed was comfortable and it had basic things. I had some communication issues with the owner and stressed a bit regarding check-in. I was supposed to receive a code to get the keys but something failed along the way, I'm not sure who's fault was it, in the end someone opened the door for me and let me in, they also apologize. The building is not very accessible, there are only stairs and luggage must be carry all the way up. The bathroom was very small and the shower layout was uncomfortable, to get in or out there is a big step and the space between the glass and the wall is very reduced, there was no place to put thing inside the shower. The room was very basic but comfortable.
- margo (10/5): - Nice room. Close to things.
Easy to find. Outside noise but nothing too bad.
- Clare (8/5): -
- Francesco (7/5): Clean house in a great location for visiting York -
- Cecilia (7/5): Sencillo pero céntrico y correcto - Un alojamiento sencillo pero correcto en una ubicación muy céntrica para poder visitar todo York a pie. Limpio y con todas las comodidades. Lo único a tener en cuenta son las escaleras si se trata de personas mayores, con poca movilidad o viajando con equipaje grande (como me sucedió a mi que tuve que subir 3 pisos con una maleta de 20k, aunque no puedo decir que lo ubiera revisado antes así que no culpo al alojamiento). Pero si no es el caso o si viajan ligeros de equipaje, lo recomiendo.
- Darren (10/5): - Stayed before and would stay every time we visit. Communication between owner fabulous. Nothing to complain about, fabulous location, highly recommend
- Hanlie King (5/5): - Location 50 Stairs with lots of luggage was a challenge. Parking was a problem.
- Helen (8/5): Great little spot - Great location, lots of the attractions nearby but also lots of great places to eat. Very clean room and bathroom.
- Tanya (10/5): Fantastic place to stay nice comfy bed room lovely and clean .Great communication from karen - Nice room fantastic location 2 mins walk from everything
- Evelyn (9/5): Clean, cozy and convenient. - The room was exactly as expected from the photos, description and comments. It was exceptionally clean with more than enough towels and coffee making stuff provided. There was also soap and shower gel which was handy. The location was even better than I had expected, everything in the centre was so close.
Karen was very nice and helpful and replied very promptly to messages. The bathroom needs a little tlc but it’s nothing crazy and mostly cosmetic. It didn’t impact on the cleanliness or functionality which is all that really matters.
- Juan (10/5): Great stay, close to the center of York with stores around the lcoation - Location was great and Karen was very responsive during communications. Nice cozy room.
- Udo B. (7/5): - Exzellente Lage nahe Yorck Minster, schöne große Dusche, sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Trotz Doppelfenster relativ laut wg. Straßenlärm, Handhabung des Fensters ziemlich umständlich; während einer Nacht unregelmäßig seltsame Geräusche wie Schleuder/Pumpe o.ä. hinter Wand.
- Kevin (10/5): - very good service we had a great time 👍

- Fabrizio (10/5): Perfetto per visitare York - Posizione ottima, stanza bella e silenziosa, finestra con bella vista, letto comodo, che altro dire... perfetta! Le scale per salire al piano della stanza sono scomode da fare, ma ho visto che in Inghilterra é una cosa comune, quindi...
- JHtrailer (8/5): Central York Location - Good central location
Opposite a really great cheese shop Having to climb the stairs
- M (10/5): -
- Pippa (9/5): Excellent accommodation at a reasonable price and close to the city centre. - The location was excellent - only a short walk from the railway station and close to the city centre. The area felt safe. The room was a decent size and felt spacious and I loved the open sash window. Nothing.

- Patricia (9/5): - The Minster is around the corner, it’s a 2 min walk to the main attractions and 5 min from the train station. Also, the place is really quiet and Karen is so nice!

- Bev (9/5): Everything was just has we wanted it - Absolutely loved it. Karen was excellent. Room was liovely and clean. Bed was very comfy and a Yorkshire teabags made a delicious cup of tea.
Will definitely be going back. 2 mins from York Munster. Perfect Nothing
- Aimee (10/5): - The location is absolutely ideal—just a short walk from the stunning York Minster, and within easy reach of the city’s charming shops, restaurants, and historic attractions.
From the moment I arrived, the staff were , welcoming, and helpful via text messages. Check-in was smooth, and I immediately felt at ease. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, with all the amenities I needed for a relaxing stay. The bed was especially cozy, and I appreciated the quiet, peaceful atmosphere at night.
- Gary (8/5): Very enjoyable in a nice clean comfortable room in a great location - Great location very close to everything,sights restaurants bars Only downside was the shower,it ran cold too hot cold..but other than that we enjoyed our stay
- Mass (7/5): Great location, room is in need of repair. - Great location. Good space. Great light. Good storage in room area. Insufficient storage/ surface in bathroom. Window in room did not open and had garbage between the panes! Fireplace also had a garbage bag hanging down inside it. WiFi is very spotty.
Tiles and door in bathroom are cracked and in need of replacement.
