York B&B located on a bus route right into the town centre. Parking is also available. Great breakfast and affordable stay while visiting the north.

Quite an old building, but able to park. Our room had a nice bathroom, big shower, but room furniture a bit old and tired. Mattress not very comfortable. Nice breakfast though.

Great location to the train station and bus line. Room and furnishings were somewhat dated; it wouldn't take much to refresh the rooms and we certainly understand the challenges of the last few years to this industry, so this is not meant to be a criticism. Big room for 3 of us. Staff was friendly and very responsive to questions. Good breakfast to start the day!

The hotel public spaces were clean and in good condition. Great breakfast. Friendly staff. About 25 min walk to city centre, or short bus ride from right outside. Sadly family room was shabby and in desperate need of a refresh. It was clean, but just badly worn furnishings, paintwork etc. Also, no WiFi coverage in our room even though it was advertised. Staff couldn't help us with this.
