This was my first visit to the City Guest House. I was impressed with the previous reviews so was sure I would not be disappointed. Everything others have said is true. I was in a single room on the first floor. It was warm and cosy, with everything I needed. The bed was very, very, comfortable. Everywhere was spotlessly clean.... More

Just enjoyed another stay at this excellent guest house, within easy walking distance of York city centre. We specifically booked the attic room again, same as we did last year, as it has access to a bath, (very important for me!), ensuite too- loads of charm, great value for money, excellent standards of cleanliness and very friendly service from hostess...

I was booked into this guest house by my office so I had no idea what it would be like. I was delighted by what I found. The owner, Julie, was lovely. I was given a beautifully clean, en-suite room with a fantastic bed. Best night's sleep in ages! Breakfast was offered early due to my work commitments and this... More

Stayed recently at City Guest House and had no complaints whatsoever. Very good location, about a 20 minute walk from the train station, very central from all the attractions of York. We had the small double room which was very warm and cosy. Very comfy bed and hot shower. Loved the little touches in the room, like the chocolates and... More

We stayed for 2 nights in December 2012, what a great find! We paid £140 for 2 nights for a double room with breakfast, just 300 mts outside the city walls. The room & ensuite bathroom were very clean and comfortable; despite the freezing weather it was nice and warm. The cooked breakfast was excellent, you could choose how your... More

Very clean guesthouse with very nice hosts. Rooms are spotless and the breakfast is very filling. The location is the added bonus to this little gem of a guest house. The owners are friendly and willing to help in any way they can.
