Very nice people here! It is an old guesthouse so the fact I was on the 3rd was ok, the stairs were solid but narrow so if I had more luggage than a small backpack it would have been hard. No issues with the other floors though. So to restate floor 3, room 10 quaint room for person with very little luggage.

Lovely York Guest House

Very friendly staff who were attentive and chatty. Always saying that if you needed anything else just ask. Breakfast was lovely. Ideally situated close to the river which made for a very pleasant walk alongside the river into the City just 5 minutes away. Room was clean and tidy. A lovely 3 night stay. My only criticism is that the wi-fi was very hit and miss, frustratingly dropping out very often.

Great place to stay close to the city but far enough out to be quiet. Staff were all fantastic and so friendly. Breakfast was amazing. Only concern although it’s not a huge issue the trains were a little noisy but didn’t really disturb me but if that’s an issue for you take ear plugs
