2 things. 1- it’s not value for money. For the same price -You could get holiday inn/ even delta Marriott if booked a few weeks in advance and they are much Much superior. 2- the location/ getting to it is very difficult. Narrow streets, you get lost half the time…parking is charged separately- you are told to fill forms… all not straight forward. It’s a converted house basically, allot of taste and effort has gone into converting it. It’s nice and clean. They check you are uk via WhatsApp, but all is remote. Maybe I am used to staying in chains such as delta, holiday inn, premiere inn etc - but comparing them as their price is less than this place .

Nice house, rooms are clean, parking is easy, suitable for business travelers with a limited budget. The only problem is the front door lock is not working as it should, and since there's no reception, if you make three incorrect entries, you have to wait outside for 5 minutes before you can try again. If the weather is cold and you've come from a long journey, it tests your patience at the door. Apart from that, it's a comfortable house, I would recommend it if they fix the entrance lock."

One nights stay in a beautifully maintained clean guest house . Fifteen minute slow walk to York Minster Communication excellent throughout . Thankyou !

water leaked from ceiling onto bed and property owners refused to provide compensation.

The room was beautiful and very clean with the expected amenities provided. The online city guide was particularly appreciated and helped us choose a spot for dinner. I had a little difficulty getting in and out with the pram but that’s to be expected given the type of property. We had trouble arranging parking which wasn’t resolved until after we had arrived, meaning we ended up paying for parking quite a distance away from the hotel due to its location, but this was largely to do with the hotels.com app blocking personal information. Overall, I would recommend to others and stay again.

Apartment as described, will defo stay again

Room was lovely. Right near the centre. Host was accommodating with great communication. Would 100% stay again. The big open shower was amazing also!!

Keypad to get in the property is finicky when raining. They need to have it more protected from the rain somehow. As when it gets wet it doesn’t work. The pillows were hard, flat and lumpy. But the bed was comfortable. The rooms were simple but clean. Bathroom was nice. It looked newly renovated. Price was good. Distance to town was walkable. So would give it a 4/5

We had a bit of a problem getting in through the security code door. It just kept refusing to work, this put us off both going out later that night as we didn’t want a repeat performance at night in the dark. There was a fair amount of noise from both people walking past outside and people in the room above us walking around. The room was nice and comfortable.

Comfortable stay. Would have liked some breakfast

It does not look like a 4 star hotel. And the Hotel set is in a student housing location which can be noisy during the night.

Absolutely lovely, would book again. No breakfast available on site, but not at all a problem as we were told in advance. Such thoughtful designs, loved the rustic furniture!

Self check-in instructions were very easy to follow. Hotel is very conveniently located - only a short walk into the main city area of York. Would happily stay here again.

Charming boutique hotel a short walk to city center and olde town. Great communication with owner easy self check in. We loved all the great little touches that made the stay special!! Thank you.

Brilliant communication, and a relief that there was air con given the random heat wave we are in! Good walking distance from the centre.

Easy check in with lots of information provided and good communication with the wonders just a message away. Comfortable room with everything we needed, very clean.

Very good service. Nice air conditioning in the room.

Really loved the Vanguard. Felt well looked after, communication excellent. Liked being able to walk into York. Very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent place to stay very convenient for york city centre (20 minute walk). Toomm was clean and well presented. The owners keep you informed of the check in procedure which was very easy to follow and straightforward.

A nice room

Staying at the vanguard was brilliant. We stayed for 2 nights, checking in was super easy, everything was sent on one email which was easy to understand. We got to drop our luggage off before check in time free of charge so we could explore York easier and this was very helpful and a big plus. The room was cosy with fresh sheets and towels in the room. The air con system was simple to work out and there was also a coffee machine in the room too, with complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate and water in the mini fridge. The bathroom was very modern, with a powerful shower that was hot straight away. They also had shampoo, shower gel, conditioner and hairdryer which is also a positive. Moving onto the staff, they are very accommodating. I had got in touch by phone and message a few times before our stay and during, which they responded to very quickly and politely. They checked on us throughout our stay and they couldn’t have done any more. I would highly recommend staying here, it was perfect.

Excellent!

The property is in a terraced residential area about 15 minutes walk from the centre of York. Parking is on the road in a permit reserved space next to the property. Inside the property is lovely - almost 2 separate rooms plus bathroom which is all modern, spacious & very clean. Plenty of teas, coffee & bottled water. 2 nice big screen TVs & loads of plugs / charging points. Lots of good WA communication from the owners…..

Comfortable stop over for the evening & easy walk in to the town.

This is a really nice place to rest after walking around York. The rooms are cosy and clean and the shower was brilliant. Only 10-15 minutes walk to all the good stuff in York

Lovely stay. Very good communication and a short walk into York. Would recommend

An amazing place to stay while in York. Staff are very friendly and supportive. Excellent room - clean, cosy and tidy. Can't go wrong for the price. Highly recommended!

The room was very comfortable and finished to a high standard. The check in was very smooth and the staff were very helpful.

We had a lovely stay at The Vanguard. The property is in a residential area just out of town, so it was quiet. The room was clean and comfortable with all the facilities you need for a short city break. Although there is no reception, check in and out was easy with the instructions provided by the owners, who also contacted us to ensure everything was ok.

Quiet location close to town

Superb facilities, spotlessly clean, fantastic shower, great value for money.

Great, really nice room, great value
