Relaxing stay in York
It was a short walk from the train station and we were able to walk along the river and to the downtown. Breakfast was excellent and it was very quiet.

Great base
What a great base for a visit to York. Out of the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy the walk into town.
The staff were very polite and professional and our room was spotless and very quiet(room 10)
Thankyou for making our long weekend that much better

Everything is brilliant about St. Mary's!
Everything is brilliant about St. Mary's Guest House in York! Location is perfect - just 10 min stroll along the river front into the centre. Beds very comfy. Breakfast pentiful, cooked to order and delicious. Manager, Caroline, is wonderful. Parking inexpensive and easy. We would highly recommend this for a city break.

Triple room was great, plenty of room for the 3 of us and check in was really easy, I was sent all the information ahead of time and again on the day.
Breakfast was amazing and fresh and all the staff were really nice.
Ideal location, short walk from the station and town center, in a quiet area. You could hear the trains, but we never found it an issue.

Friendly hotel adjacent to station.
Nice, clean guest house, very close walk from the station. Enjoyed the breakfast, and the staff were welcoming.
Only a couple of issues. First, the lighting is too gloomy. A few more lumens would have made the room appear brighter. Second, my room was at the front of the house, and I was awakened at 3am by noisy works going on at the railway opposite. To be fair, the weather was really warm and I had left the windows opened. When i shut them, the double glazing helped suppress the noise.

The staff were very welcoming , the guest house was very clean and comfortable.
The breakfast was very good with a gluten free option,including the sausages and the bread.
We were able to leave our cases in reception after we checked out in the morning, until we wanted to travel in the afternoon.
Would stay there again if we return to the area

Nice guesthouse with good staff
We have been york so many times over the years that it's very familiar with us. The staff at this hotel gave us some other insight into things we didn't know which was very nice. The guesthouse is comfortable and in a great location. Easy walking distance from the city, parking is right outside the hotel although it's on the street.
Breakfast supplied is lovely and the staff are friendly and helpful. Our room was comfortable and quite spacious with everything you need for a short break.

Great place to stay just outside York’s city gates
Rooms were very clean and adequate. Rooms warm during a cold January stay. Cooked breakfast was great. Hostess Caroline was a delight. Flat 10 minute walk to city gate (see photo). So no need to park closer unless you have a walking disability. Very desirable location. The only thing that would have made it better was to let customers know in advance that parking is £12.50 @ night. No nearby free parking in sight. Don’t hesitate to stay here.

Perfect for a short break in York
Within a short walk of the city centre and station, several pubs and eating places nearby, perfect for a short break.
