What people say
Gorgeous room - brilliant value for money. excellent staff. Staff called us before arrival to confirm eta and to check whether wewould be in a car. Friendly staff who asked if we knew the local areaand checked if we knew how to get into the city centre. Offered help anda useful guide book/map. Good, tidy room. Near to facilities good parking. nice clean room... location is ideal too... very close to the city area. But breakfast can be better. all reviews »
Good proximity to city center, peaceful location and clean rooms."Cheap and cheerful" conveniently close to centre of York. Others have commented unfavourably but that may depend on your room. For the price, ours (Room 1) was fine, ample size, bed and en suite. Breakfast was OK. Good to have free parking and could get permit on first morning even though room was not ready (as would be expected at 10am!). clean, comfortable room.close to city easy walk. Fairly central location, could be well sited and organised for backpackers but expect price to high for such visitors.location - 15 mins walk to the city. The bed was fairly comfortable.Close to the city centre. Close to shops and take-outs if needed. Cheap. The location was fine,but that was all.the room is too small for two people. Small room and cramped shower - not much room around the 3/4 size bed, wehad to eat breakfast on the bed. Thanks to other reviews I knew this wasa possibility when I booked but due to the price and location the overallvalue was good.The room was a bit dated furniture and Decore otherwise very clean and the food was excellent. Our south facing room ( in the roof ) was a bit too stuffy and staff kept closing the window. The toilet paper in our bathroom was not replaced even when very low. We were only told on arrival that we could not pay by debit/credit card and had to pay with a large cash sum despite ringing the day before.Credit machine still not working! But if you know in advance it is easy enough to get cash out in town (don't use local ATMs - they charge!). Not able to pay by credit card. Did not want to go to Sainsbury's for cashback or use a charging cash machine.yes the bed as it was sold as a dubble and it was not it was a 3/4 size the room was very small , plus didnot like havingto eat breackfast on the bed as only 1 chair and not enought table space. Had to phone to gain access, despite arriving at the appointed time. Didnt see any staff except to pay....cash only so still saying a problem with their debit card machine!!! Narrow beds which wee very soft and easily rolled off. And needed to sit on the bed to eat the limited 'continental' breakfast. 2 lights out in loo/shower all time we were there. Loo/shower very cold.We booked a room with an ensuite, our bathroom was down the hall. No staff to meet and great, no sitting room for guests, bad reception on the tv,. Communication from staff. I wasn't told I couldn't pay by debit/credit until it was time to pay, despite a sign indicating all major cards are accepted. I was made to walk to the nearest cash machine (that charges) to withdraw cash. One of the beds was far too small for an adult. Breakfast was poor. The breakfast is very very bad. I don't think it is a good BandB.
