Our second visit to the friendly family run guest house on York's Monkgate was equally as wonderful as our first visit the previous year. The cleanliness, attention to detail to rooms and meals is impressive, to say the least. Julie and Allan are really energetic in caring that clients are happy. The location is ideal in it's proximity to the... More

We stayed for four nights 28th November to 2nd December Very friendly hosts Good food for breakfast Very close to all that York has to offer, only 2 minutes walk to centre

Some of the reviews here are over critical but I understand that most of us base our reviews on how well we sleep so it is understandable that people who don't sleep well will write a bad review. Overall, this is a cheap, incredibly convenient (literally a few yards from the centre), cosy B + B. You get what you... More

We stayed the weekend in November, having 2 rooms between 4 of us, a ground floor room and the very top room floor. Location is great, perfect for visiting York city centre. And the staff are helpful when needed. I personally like the room I had (top floor), clean and tidy although you have to watch your head at all... More

All the rooms were clean with fresh decoration and complete with all facilities promised. Breakfast was great even for my ample apetite with a good selection of fresh local foods... More

i have never written a review before but felt compelled to write this one! my son and I wanted a night in a B&B whilst visiting Universities this week. I read the previous reviews and as a result of them almost didn't book. We approached our stay with some trepidation as there are some pretty damning reviews on this site.... More

I think the few negative reviews on here are being over critical considering this is an 1840's built former family home with period detail and not a modern streamlined four star hotel. Having stayed in a few faceless modern hotels in York in the past I found the City Guest House offers a convenient central location at a reasonable price... More

A planned annual trip for the races. Over the years we have stayed at many guest houses and this place is run like an army bootcamp. A cold and frosty welcome to say the least. We where shown to our very dated 1980's style rooms. Which where clean but the soft furnishings smelt stale and they where very old, curtains... More
