Lynne
As soon as we walked in, we felt welcomed. The place is quaint, not modern, but very clean. Breakfast was great, as much as we wanted. The location was close to the old town, which is where we wanted to be. We would stay here again!
Evelyn
St. Mary’s Guest House was everything we needed for our 5-night stay in York. My friend and I stayed in a twin room, which was clean and perfectly comfortable, albeit nothing fancy. Breakfast was great and the staff were just lovely. We enjoyed the short walk each morning and evening to and from the station or city centre.
Daniel
Check in and out were the easiest.. Breakfast was delicious and the location was awesome.. Very close to the Train station and York Minster and all that you want to see.
Edward
The property was well maintained and clean. Staff (especially Tilly) were very friendly and accommodating.
Elaine
This was ideally situated for walking into York and sight seeing. The room was big enough and we slept very well. The full English breakfast was included giving us a great start to the day.
Paul
The staff, particularly Caroline and Kristina, were extremely welcoming. Great location within easy walking distance to the train station and close to sites in the center of old town. One of the best of the nine places that we stayed during our trip to the UK.
Bobbi
It was one of the most enjoyable stays I have ever had. The staff are exceptional. The room was immaculately clean, and a wonderful breakfast was served. The staff were some of the kindest, friendliest and funniest I have ever encountered. I highly, highly recommend this property.
Alison
Our 2nd stay at St Mary's and we loved it as much as the first! Staff friendly, breakfast delicious and cooked to order, beds comfy, room perfectly adequate for a city break.
The location is great - just a 10 min pleasant stroll along the river to the city centre or similar to the station.

Es una casa muy linda con un desayuno excelente y cercano al old town. Caminado 10 minutos. Calida y con buen agua caliente. Volveria.
Joanne
Room clean, staff very friendly and engaging.
Some TLC required to the mould in the shower and the overhead bed light didn’t work, this left just the room light as the only means of lighting and reading by that was a bit limited as the wattage of the bulb wasn’t great.
Staff definitely the biggest positive.

Nice choice for breakfast. Friendly staff on check in and breakfast. Great location for a short walk into the town centre.
Kath
Great location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Was made to feel welcome from start to finish.
Donald
Breakfast was fresh and generous, staff were friendly and helpful with directions and tips. 8 minute walk from the train station, 15 minutes to the Minster and Shambles. No lift and narrow stairs could be problematic for mobility challenged, but we had no difficulties managing.
We would definitely stay there again!

Denis
Very clean comfortable and easy walk to everything.
Kathryn
Perfect location near mass transit center for coming in and out of the city of York, not too close, but walkable for sure. Then getting into the city itself for sightseeing was also walkable, so convenience was a big plus. The complete breakfast was simple to order from a small menu of choices. The kitchen/ inn attendent was sure to meet our needs and answer questions. all with a caring smile. The bedroom was adequate and comfortable for two people. I'd choose this house again.
Sally
Lovely staff for breakfast. Easy walk to everywhere!

Easy checkin/checkout.
Welcomed the available parking, though £12.5/night
Pleasant 10 min riverside walk to restaurants

Really enjoyed our stay and will be back. Staff friendly breakfast was great, room, clean and warm. Thanks everyone at st Marys hope to see you around christmas time
James
Very nice people here! It is an old guesthouse so the fact I was on the 3rd was ok, the stairs were solid but narrow so if I had more luggage than a small backpack it would have been hard. No issues with the other floors though. So to restate floor 3, room 10 quaint room for person with very little luggage.
Dave
Lovely bnb in a great location with convenient parking. Nice brekkie
Nigel
A fabulous place to stay within walking distance of everywhere you would want to visit in York. A very comfy room and one of the best cooked breakfasts you’ll find anywhere. We’ll definitely stay again on our next visit.
Cindy
It was a great short stay. Breakfast was excellent.
Emma
Convenient location to explore the city. Great breakfast options and friendly staff
Philip
Such a nice location, everyone was so nice 😊 I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Reginald
Lovely York Guest House
Very friendly staff who were attentive and chatty. Always saying that if you needed anything else just ask. Breakfast was lovely. Ideally situated close to the river which made for a very pleasant walk alongside the river into the City just 5 minutes away. Room was clean and tidy. A lovely 3 night stay. My only criticism is that the wi-fi was very hit and miss, frustratingly dropping out very often.
Michelle
Great place to stay close to the city but far enough out to be quiet. Staff were all fantastic and so friendly. Breakfast was amazing. Only concern although it’s not a huge issue the trains were a little noisy but didn’t really disturb me but if that’s an issue for you take ear plugs
Verified traveler
A very enjoyable stay. Nice, helpful staff. Clean room on a quiet street with a good location.

Erik
Nice quiet b&b
Nice visit to St Mary B&B. Good clear communication about arrival time and instructions on parking and entry. Nice big rooms and did not heard any noise from the other rooms or train line which is nearby. It is in nice walking distance to York centre. Nice option for breakfast which had an option of difference set menu, but you could still add additional without issue
Lauraine
We loved the friendliness of the staff and the breakfast.
We didn't like the size of the room - a really small room for twin beds

We enjoyed our stay. Convenient to the York sites we wanted to see in old city center. Excellent breakfast. Fair price. Nice staff. Very pleased.
Ann
Convenient guest house in a quiet location. Walking distance from the train station and the centre of York. Comfortable room with everything you need, but the decor was looking a bit tired and could do with a bit of a spruce. The breakfast was perfect and setsnyou up for the day.
Keith
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

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.
David
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.

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.

Susan
We had a lovely stay. The breakfast was first class, as were the staff. I have two comments about our room (8) - the pillows were a bit lumpy and if we had occasion to stay again, I’d request not to stay in this room because of the two steep steps down into the bathroom. Younger folk may have no problem with them but being that much older and having creaky knees, it wasn’t easy to negotiate them. Thankfully there was a very sturdy rail to hold onto. But I’d still request a different room. All that being said - we still enjoyed our stay.
Anthony
Very friendly and efficient hosts. Clean room with comfortable bed. Freshly cooked breakfast to order. Very handy for city centre, convenient, quiet location, option to walk along river. Very close to railway station on foot, and can use railway bridge during daylight hours.

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.

Great Location Close to Station
Pleasant guest house,very close walking distance to York Railway Station. Rooms are generally nice and clean, although lighting could be improved. Staff are pleasant and the breakfast was nice.
Thomas
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.

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.

3 nights B&B in york.
The Guesthouse is located in a quiet street which is just across the street from the railway line to Scarborough. There are only a couple of trains an hour, so you don't really notice them and they didn't disturb our sleep.
Breakfast is excellent and the staff are friendly and helpful. The menu has a good range of food on it and the portions are generous.
Security is also good as the guesthouse has electronic locks on both the outer and inner doors which are sprung.
It is located 5-7 minutes walk from York railway station. directly across a foot/cycle bridge which can be accessed directly from the station car park.
The downside is the room as the bathroom was small with a very cramped sitting position on the WC. I am 6ft, not overweight but had to sit sideways. there were plenty of draws to put clothes like T-shirts and underwear in but there was an open clothes hanger with shelves, rather than a decent wardrobe. These open shelves are rubbish as clothes, or other items can fall of them very easily. The bed was in the style of an old fashioned bedstead. which, although quaint and comfortable to sleep on, was a bit short for anyone who is 6ft or taller. The room was warm but the timer seemed strange. as it went off at the time you might want it on, i.e. when you came in from dinner.
The Guesthouse is in a great location for all the city's attractions but heating and hot water availability may need looking at as we had a cold shower on our last night.

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

Autumn break in York.
Enjoyed our stay in St Mary`s Guest House. We were in Room 10 in the attic ,the final staircase was steep and narrow , I had a stroke 3 yrs ago and my mobility is not too great. I should have asked for a ground or first floor room in hindsight that was my error not yours. Best wishes Adam and Frances Johnston.
Pamela
Nice guest house
Good location, easy check in, breakfast was good simple but very nice. The girls are polite helpful, room was big enough for two furniture abit dated but fine, plenty of tea coffee etc, bed was comfy. There is a iron etc on the middle floor which was very helpful. All in all i would stay there again

Friendly and helpful staff. We had a small problem with heat during the Oct 1st hearing cutover (off during the summer into fall temperatures). Good communication of the problem down to staff and resolution. Close to the river. Short walk to Minster and downtown. No elevator is you need one. Very enjoyable place. Nice breakfast.

We loved our stay at St Mary's Guest House. The house was so charming and the staff so delightful! The breakfast in the morning was plentiful and very yummy!!
We appreciated that the property was so convenient to the train station and walking into town. We were able to walk everywhere.
We would definitely stay there again.

We only stayed for 2 days over the Bank Holiday but it was a perfect break away. The ladies who served breakfast,which was amazin, full English was the husbands choice and he is quite picky but loved it, I opted for yogurt and fruit and eggs with toast,all perfectly done. Rooms are very clean and comfortable and cleaned daily without asking and the staff are so welcoming and no issue is a bother for them.will definitely be returning and a very reasonable price for York on a Bank Holiday weekend. We were so pleased with our stay we gave the ladies chocolates as a thank you when we left 💕 xxx

Easy self-check in after hours. Friendly, helpful staff. Clean and inviting property with bright and spacious room. Excellent breakfast. Water pressure in shower was not great. Easy walking distance to train station and to town centre. Quiet location, even with rail tracks across the road.

The staff were wonderful. The breakfast choices were excellent and the cooked breakfast was very nice indeed. A few yards walk to the river Ouse at Scarborough Bridge and very close to the station. Only 10mins steady, scenic, walk alongside the river to the Centre of York, no need to use the car. Close enough to all attractions, yet away from noise, hustle and bustle. Some of the decor a little old, dated and would benefit from redecorating. However it was clean with comfy beds. The weather was very warm yet the heating in the main areas was on which as a little stuffy and had to open all windows wide in room, however I would not hesitate on booking in here again and would recommend to friends.

Excellent location
Excellent location, ten mins walk into the city walls. Room was clean and spacious (family room), one double and one single bed. Breakfast was good with the choice of cereals and fresh fruit followed by full English.
