Stayed 4 nights in a lovely room. The owners were very friendly and most accommodating. The location is perfect to walk to all major attractions in York. Breakfast was A+.
Had a wonderful stay at City Guest House.

We spent a lovely three days at this amazing location in York. So close to everything, located in Monkgate, this terrace home is beautifully decorated and comfortable. Alan and Julie are absolutely spot on hosts, from greeting you at the door and taking your luggage to your room for you, to providing a great breakfast each morning. Every morning Julie entertains her visitors with funny stories, and is happy to advise local attractions. If we are ever in York again, I wouldn’t hesitate to book a room at City Guest House!

Stayed at the city guest for a city break. The location was great just a short walk from the Minster and the city centre. The room we stayed in was small but very homely. It was comfortable and clean. It was also the small touches that were nice, with chocolates and a bottle of water supplied every day. The couple who run the guest house were very friendly and breakfast was cooked to order. They also gave us a city guide map and offered advice about places to visit. Overall it was a very good experience and we would stay there again if we were to return to York.

From the moment we walked into City guest house we felt welcomed and at home with Julie and Allan. Julie introduced us to the layout of the town with a map and gave us some suggestions on where to start. Allan took our bags and brought them up to our room for us so we didn't have to. Everything about this property was immaculately clean and tidy and well put together. We were provided with everything we needed without having to ask. Every morning our breakfast was ready for us and the hospitality was amazing. We enjoyed the little chats we had with our hosts and they always made us feel more like friends than guests.

We're so pleased to have stumbled across this wonderful B&B. The rooms were comfortable and clean with nice touches such as decent towels, good bedding, and a few bathroom products. Nicely freshened up daily. The daily cooked breakfast/continental was delicious and plentiful. Allan and Julie are excellent friendly hosts, and we'll be recommending City Guest House to family and friends. Thank you for looking after us.

Julie and Allan were the best of the stay!! Always giving tips and asking if we needed anything. The breakfast was incredible and we got a room upgrade for free. They paid attention to every single detail of our stay, including preparing a binder with recommendations, useful numbers and fan facts about the city! Everything was wonderful, specially the handmade breakfast they served everyday with a smile

Sweet family business run by a kind and caring couple. Nice touches including a home-cooked breakfast. Close to all attractions but away from the crowds. Recommend if you're looking for something small and personal. No need to worry about the secondary emails from eviivo. The Expedia reservation is sufficient.

Our stay with Allan and Julie was wonderful. When booking, Allan and Julie were very accommodating with our late check in and parking options. We stayed at the City Guesthouse for three nights (Thursday night - Sunday morning) in their attic en-suite room during the busy Christmas market period.
Our room was lovely, clean and so cosy. The room is stocked up daily with complimentary teas, hot chocolates, water and biscuits.
The breakfast was delicious, with many options to choose from, and our stay was made even more pleasant by our kind hosts. Allan and Julie gave us so many suggestions on places to visit in York, and we were so sad to be leaving as we loved chatting to them everyday.
The accommodation was also in a perfect location. Within 5/10 minutes walk you have the city centre, and the train station is only a 20 minute walk. The area is very pretty and peaceful.
We could not recommend the City Guesthouse enough! It exceeded our expectations and we would love to return in the future.
Thank you Allan and Julie for your incredible hospitality.

This was my first solo break. And I immediately felt at home with Julie and Allan. Welcomed me into their home.
My room was perfect for me and spotlessly clean.
I arrived as stranger but definitely left a friend as with the other guests as well. Breakfast was relaxed and informal and set me up for the day ahead to explore.

I thoughougly recommend this guest house. The owners were very friendly, welcoming and very helpful. It's just 10 min walk to the city centre. The owners try their best to get a parking space for you. The room was lovely and clean and the breakfast was lovely. We had a fantastic stay and hope to go back.

Julie and Alan are great traditional hosts of this small hotel. Fine breakfast with choices of full English or continental. They will vary their breakfast time to suit you and they don’t throw you out the door at the earliest opportunity. They’re not pretending to be the Waldorf but if you’re happy to have a no fuss home from home, this is for you. Looking forward to returning.

This guest house had everything you could need on our 4 day trip. The rooms were spotless, food was to a high standard with plenty of selection for breakfast. Julie and Allan couldnt do enough for you and there was on street parking outside the guest house. In the rooms there information leaflets about trips and attractions to visit, just a few minutes walk from York city centre. We will definitely return to the York city guest house.

Fabulous b&b located 5minute walk from the city walls. The hosts Julie and Alan were so welcoming and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was gorgeous, the room was spotlessly clean. We have booked for next year already. Little gem of a place would highly recommend.
