This is a great base for a trip to York. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the Minster and centre of the City. The railway station is just a 20 minutes walk away. The hosts Allan and Julie are so welcoming and friendly, taking time to chat to all the guests and on hand for assistance if ever needed. They serve up a great breakfast in the mornings with both a cooked breakfast and continental options available and plenty of choice of cereals and fruit. The room was warm and cosy with a comfortable bed. Everywhere is very clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend City Guest House for a stay in York.

Excellent hospitality from Julie and Alan who run this guest house. They were a delight and so very helpful and accommodating. The room was comfortable and very clean. It’s an older house with so much charm and personality and it’s been very well maintained so it’s just lovely and comfortable. The dining area and entry area were lovingly decorated for the holidays. Every morning freshly made to order breakfast was served and everything was delicious each time. I have absolutely nothing but great things to say about this guest house and the lovely people who run it. Thank you for everything, Julie and Alan.

The Best Place to stay in york.

I want to give them the most stars i can give because this is what they deserve. The most amazing couple you will ever meet. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home. Everything was perfect, the breakfast, cleanliness, comfort and the hospitality. Every hotel, airbnb, need and breakfast should clone them and what they do.
