Jake
Breakfast had funny taste first day, decent second day. Front entrance mat extremely grubby and this is what welcomes you. Peeling paint, dead flower pots and no hanging baskets at front. Carpets dirty around bed, defiant tracks.
Couple we was with had stayed there before, said it had definitely gone down hill with all the above mentioned plus they used to have homemade loafs of bread and jams and yogurts where much betțer on the whole seemed to be cutting costs and corners.
Bed comfy and clean as was bathroom. Staff pleasant

Peter
We spent 3 nights at St. Raphael. A really lovely b&b. Perfectly located for the centre of York being just a easy 10 minute walk away. Was lovely and clean. A lovely breakfast room with a cooked and cold buffet breakfast available. Parking outside can be secured by the owners. They just need your registration number before you arrive. A big thank you to Jamie,Fran and the team for making us so welcome. Would definitely recommend.
Amanda
Staff very friendly and helpful.
Rooms clean. Our family room on the second floor was very hot even with two fans going most of the time and windows open and temperature was only 22-25 outside.
Breakfast ok but cooked breakfast bit small, no marmalade any day and no fruit bowl on last day.
Towels very small.
Would stay again as very convenient for seeing York. 👍

Tracey
Location was good with just a short walk into the centre of York. Our room was lovely and had everything we needed. Parking instructions were clear on arrival with permit parking on nearby streets. Best of all for me was that they catered for my gluten intolerance and also had soya milk. Breakfast was very tasty.
Alison
Fabulous B&B. Great communication. Lovely room. Fabulous breakfast tasted fantastic. Easy 10/15 minute flat walk to centre of York. Would highly recommend and will be back
Tina
The location was great from the city center. The room was small and we could hear people in the other rooms and walking above.
Kam
All good however the sewing kit noted was missing from the cupboard and there should be a small fridge in my opinion for the Ebor suite. The breakfast was delicious and swift.
Graham
Lovely welcome when I got to the guest house. The lady helped to ensure I parked in the correct place and as my room was not ready, I was early, took my bags and placed them in my room. Breakfast was very nice good quality products well cooked. Ideal location for me
Sharlyse
This is a fabulous place to stay with fabulous staff. The room was also clean and lovely, the warm breakfast was delicious, & parking amenities were lovely. It is also in a perfect location to get to downtown in just a few minutes of a walk. Would highly recommend
Anne
A great location, quiet yet still walking distance to the Centre of town, clean, friendly, charming house with spacious bedroom and comfortable bed. We were on the top floor with a beautiful big window. Lots of great natural light. Breakfast was convenient and delicious in the charming dining room. Staff was cheerful and helpful. A very lovely spot.
Benoit
C’est dommage de faire une critique plus négative lorsque les gens qui travaillent dans un établissement sont si gentils et serviables et qu’on offre un déjeuner et des possibilités de stationnement gratuit. Toutefois, la chambre que nous avons eu était minuscule, peu confortable et extrêmement mal isolée, ce qui fait que tous les soirs, nous entendions les gens dans les autres chambres ou qui bavardaient dans le corridor,. Nous avons trouvé surprenant de lire, dans le cartable de bienvenue, la liste de prix à payer des composantes de la chambre, du matelas aux serviettes, si elles étaient retrouvées endommagées, alors que celles-ci n’étaient pas neuves. Nous sommes peut-être mal tombé avec notre chambre...
Sarah
Fantastic location. The property’s on street parking is very convenient. Lovely breakfast and staff. Bed not the most comfortable.
Steven
Excellent accomodation in a great location with a delicious breakfast
Dylan

The property was in a quiet location & only 10 minute walk to the old city walls & shopping areas. Car parking isnt on site but there is allocated on-road parking nearby.
Breakfast was nice but you have to choose your breakfast selection the evening before.
Probably best to book a first floor bedroom rather than second as our room was small & sounded like it was close to a heating boiler or something running all night. The room was clean but had a sliding bathroom door for space which didnt shut properly & only 1 spare socket not near any mirror or table.

Melvyn
I can only review our room named The Shambles. It was small, located in the roof space so a lot of the room had the roof slope cutting off the space available.
There was tea and coffee provided but only 5 teabags on day 1 & 4 on day 2 also a minimal supply of uht milk cartons. The unit these were situated on was about 40cm high so you had to sit to brew up or bend over a long way. A small kettle took about 10mins to boil 2 cups worth of water
There was one small low down bedroom type chair for two of us.
The bathroom door was a sliding door with no rail at the bottom so it was impossible to open and close without it banging into the frame.
The biggest problem for us was that the walls are very thin and the people in the two neighbouring rooms could be heard when going about their normal business. They disturbed us and I am sure we disturbed them.
The bed and pillows were clean and comfortable.
The breakfast is tasty but not plentiful, my portion of mushrooms consisted of one mushroom about 5cm in diameter, on the second day it consisted of two mushrooms!
There is one DIY domestic toaster for up to 14 people!
There is a full page, in great detail, in the guest information book informing guests how much they will charged if they damage anything!
The guest house is well located for York's attractions being about ten minutes walk from the centre.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful
it is clean and warm, but it is not a cheap place,
I would expect more for the money paid.

Walkable in to town, clean and roomy, good options for breakfast. Would have benefited from a message in advance of arrival with instructions for arrival but otherwise a good property.
Vanessa

Susan
Great place to stay within easy walking distance of the town walls. We booked the Ebor suite. It was comfortable and spacious. Staff were friendly and accomodating- especially when we needed to leave early.
Richard
Fantastic staff. Wonderful breakfast. Very nice quiet location
Emma
We had a lovely stay here. The staff were wonderful and accommating, gave us tips on places and restaurants to go to. Its only a short walk to the centre and to the riverside - extremely convenient.
Breakfast was lovely with plenty of options and fresh bread each morning - 3 different kinds!
Downsides - The walls were thin and on our last night we could hear the room next to us snoring. Also we had a problem with parking where all spaces were taken due to an event so we had to drive out of the centre to a pub nearby for a couple hours and wait and hope there was space when we got back which luckily there was 1 space.
Overall a wondeful stay and we will be back.

Great welcome from Jamie, wonderful room (we chose the Ebor) as it gave that extra bit of space and would definitely return.
Gareth
Lovely little 2 night stay
Lovely location lovely room we stayed in. The pillows was slightly hard and the mattress was hard as well. Nice breakfast choice although on the full English there was no hash brown. This would have been a good point for me. Rooms are very hollow can hear everything from the next rooms. Lovely people very friendly and very polite.
Kate
Very friendly helpful staff and instructions before arrival and during my stay. Clean and tidy room. Walls not sound proof so spent the night listening to a neighbour snoring unfortunately but very comfortable bed. Carpet was vacuumed but could do with a shampoo. Excellent breakfast. Tea and coffee making facilities and nice toiletries. Thank you.
Peter
Excellen location to explore York on foot.
Enjoyed our stay at St Raphael Guest House. Very well located ...just a 7 - 8 minute walk to York Minster or York Museum or the theatre. Another few minutes and you are in the heart of the city.
Only small gripe...shower enclosure is very small and a bit cramped. Otherwise can highly recommend.

Lovely guest house within easy walking distance of York, it's sites and the Christmas Market. Parking was available nearby. Danny and the staff were very friendly, knowledgeable of the area and always willing to help. The choice and quality of food available for breakfast was excellent. The rooms were very spacious and welcoming and the beds were very comfy. Will return and would definitely recommend.

Great little York guesthouse
We chose to stay at St Raphael's after reading excellent reviews about the guest house, & every one was right!
A very comfortable, clean room, with a powerful shower, towels, toiletries & tea/coffee etc provided.
The cooked breakfast was always piping hot & perfectly cooked, & the freshly baked bread was delicious.
The hosts were very attentive & also very knowledgeable about the area - the guest house is within a 10 minute walk of York minster, & given the amount of traffic, free parking during your stay is another bonus. Our room was called Stonegate, which is the first room at the top of the stairs.
This is handy when carrying your case upstairs, but not so good when other guests traipse past rather noisily to their own rooms. Added to this, the house is old & creaks quite a lot, & other guests can be heard moving about, coughing etc.
I have mentioned both good & not so good points about our stay, so that there are no surprises, but would add that we will happily revisit St Raphael's in future.

Debbie
A fantastic location with very friendly, helpful staff. The price was beyond competitive considering the parking and breakfast were included. The only negative would be that the towels were a little fusty but overall a great stay and i would definitely book again if i was visiting york.
Steve
The property offered good value for money, was 5 minutes walk from the Minster and city centre. Parking was free outside the place and the staff were attentive and polite. The carpet in our room had a few coffee stains by each bedside table, the bed was very comfy though and the room was quiet. We would definitely book to come again. The dining room could benefit from some music at breakfast time to break the silence. And maybe some plug-ins to freshen up the hallway. Apart from that, it was good!

Home from home
The B&B felt like home from home. Location 5/5. Staff very friendly. Good breakfast. Bread was too thick for our liking. Room was very clean. Had a parking space which was very convenient. We had one day where our room was missed for service but the team apologised profusely. On reflection, feel like we over spent on accommodation here in comparison to the B&B we stayed at earlier on in the week and it didn’t have the wow factor like the other one. On arrival we did receive lemon drizzle cake which was a lovely gesture and very welcoming.

Such a great location with delicious, expansive breakfast spread and comfortable, cozy rooms. Staff and ownership was utterly delightful, helpful, and gracious.
Alvaro
Great cozy house. The room for 4 was comfortable and big enough for short stay.
Iain
Fabulous
Lovely guesthouse, the staff were so attentive and made sure our stay was perfect
Tony
Nice location
Nice location very near to York with the added benefit of parking if you take the Ebor suite. We used it for a one night stay for to attend a concert in the museum gardens which were very close. Some noise from the kitchen could be heard in our room but not that it made the stay uncomfortable
Shelley
This is a perfect location for the town of York. The staff were friendly. The room was lovely and clean. Breakfast was great.
Donna
Awesome staff that went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Even made a call for us to the rental car place.
Great breakfast and parking, both free/included.
I think the pillows could be updated but the bed and room were all we needed.
I highly recommend this property!

Great guest house, great staff, great location only negative was that we were just unlucky that the people staying in the next room were up at 5.00am chatting and had the TV on extremely loudly
Marilyn
Friendly people, very clean property, convenient location.
Juli
A very nice and very tidy B&B! The location was perfect for us - we were able to walk all over the old town and it was an easy walk from the train station. Super comfy beds and nice towels. It is an older townhouse with several floors, so no elevator- but that was expected. The hot English Breakfast was very good!
Paul
Loved our stay in the Ebor Suite. Quiet and secluded, with a bit more space and a dedicated parking spot too.
Easy walk from York centre and the breakfast should not be missed. Lots to chose from and the bread was delicious.
We would definitely book again if we return to York.

Lovely guest house which is half a mile walk from city centre. Very nice area. We were on 2nd floor. Lovely clean and comfortable room. Good breakfast with plenty of choice. Parking was reserved for us and lucky to find a space just around the corner. Friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend and would definitely stay here again if we come back to York.

Lovely bed & breakfast with short walk to town.

Comfortable stay
Great stay. Limited times for breakfast but actually worked out well for us. Parking was great, would just have been good to know before arrival to avoid us having to more car after check in, great to have free parking all the same. Hotel in great location for town centre

Fantastic value for money
A lovely, friendly place that really makes you feel at home! For the price the value for money is fantastic; decent size bedroom with en-suite (and a great shower!), free parking and a hearty breakfast with plenty of options.
The location is great - roughly a 10 minute walk into town. Staff were all so helpful and gave lots of recommendations for things to do, plus we had home-made banana bread ready on arrival!
I would definitely stay again :)

Words like charming, English, lovely, wonderful, great location best describe Saint Raphael Guest House. Even more, you must know the staff, especially the manager, Danny, are amazing. They take care of you, always helpful, bright, cheerful and knowledgeable. They can suggest everything from must-see places in York to fit your timetable to must-visit places for dinner, etc. By the way, breakfast is over the top!

Disappointing stay
Booked for one night and was able to check in and leave the car from 11am in one of the designated parking spaces close to b&b .The b&b is close to york centre easy walking distance , there was everything in the room we needed and it was adequate for a small double room .
Unfortunately we experienced an issue in the early hours of the morning which resulted in us checking out and leaving , as nobody lived on site , we felt we didnt have much option .
We did receive a phone call first thing in the morning from the manager very apologetic and reassured us the problem would be resolved.
We are slightly disappointed to right a negative review as the rating was excellent for St Raphael , so was looking forward to our break away .
Disappointed not to get to sample the great looking breakfast that everyone mentions .

Great spot and a great stay.
The parking is free but space is also limited. We lucked out and snagged a great spot. The hotel is so close to town we walked everywhere and never moved the car again. Breakfast was great, the room clean, and the neighborhood safe and easy to walk to all the attractions.

We stayed for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
Check in was super easy, the owners asked if we needed a parking space after booking, and inputted our car reg after a quick phone call on check in day. The B&B is in a fantastic location, 10 minute walk to York Minster with great pubs along the way. The guest information book has recommendations for places to eat and drink which we found useful.
We stayed in a double room on the first floor, lovely and clean with little touches which go a long way. The lemon cake and fresh rose flower in the room was wonderful when we arrived. The tea, biscuits and water etc. are also topped up.
We found the bed in our room a little hard for us, but the staff/owners are incredibly friendly and helpful and this was quickly sorted with an extra quilt.
The breakfast was delicious. Lots of choice on the buffet table (the baked french crumpets, very tasty!), and the cooked breakfast was very nice.
We wouldn’t stay anywhere else in York now after this visit, looking forward to returning :)
