Fernando
Lovely hotel. Good location. Excellent nice staff.
Wilhelmus
Perfect organization, rooms and location!
Evangalene
Really great hotel with so much attention to detail. Record players in the room and a huge selection of records is a really nice touch. The Radio was on when we arrived to our room and the Pantry is generous & a really unique touch. Canadian lady on the Bar was knowledgeable & super friendly (Pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the extensive bar menu was priced). Just really really cool & great location.
Sharon
We recently stayed at Number One York Guest House and had a wonderful experience overall. The staff were incredibly attentive and made us feel very welcome throughout our stay. Our suite was exceptionally spacious, spotlessly clean, and had a warm, welcoming atmosphere that made it feel like a home away from home.
The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with a great selection and high-quality ingredients. It was the perfect start to each day.
My only criticisms are relatively minor. The external stairs are extremely noisy, and the excessive creaking from people walking up and down them can be quite disruptive, especially early in the morning or late at night. I also feel that the lounge area would benefit from having separate voile curtains, similar to those in the bedroom, to provide additional privacy while still allowing plenty of natural light into the room.
Despite these small issues, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend Number One York Guest House to anyone visiting York.

Overall outstanding interior, location, clean, service and free snack.
Roy
Friendly staff and walking distance to the center of York. Good around hotel that was full of character.
Emma
We stayed in the Bootham suite, the room was light and airy and had a lovely small balcony to enjoy the sunshine. The four poster bed was very comfy and there was a small seating area to relax in. Breakfast was very good, everything is a la carte and the staff were very attentive. The hotel is in a great location, very easy walking distance into York but also very quiet and peaceful. The Pantry is a really nice touch but it was a shame that there wasn't a fridge in the room to keep drinks cool. The bathroom in the suite is not very private so you need to be comfortable with whoever you're sharing with!! It would also benefit from a bit more shelving around the sink as there wasn't much space to put anything. The toiletries were very nice and there was a lovely large bathtub and separate rainfall shower.
Michael
Highly recommend No.1 Guesthouse to anyone visiting York. The hotel is just outside the old city walls, but only a short walk to York Minster.
The hotel is wonderfully designed and updated. The lounge and bar are comfortable and well appointed. Our room was fantastic, with a comfortable bed and tons of natural light.
The staff at No.1 were all pleasant and helpful.

The people are nice. Food is descent. Hotel itself is charming. Reception stuff is great, Bartender is lovely. Spa was not a good experience. Unfortunately the people who work there are not good at the massage technique. A senior woman was a bit better but kept scratching me with her nails and sometimes would pull skin the way proper masseuse would not. The newish woman, was shown technique but doesn't understand body at all. Housekeeping was a bit weird. They took the key for our room, disappeared with it and never actually cleaner the room. Love the building itself and the location.
Simon
Something a little different...LP player in the room, complementary pantry just a couple of stand out items.
Will
Perfect all round
Kelly
Fantastic hotel. Staff are really friendly. They treated our daughter to a chocolate bar for her birthday. The pantry of treats for guests is fantastic too. The rooms are lovely. The food is great. A great atmosphere. We will be back.
Matthew
An awesome boutique hotel. Perfect rooms, friendly, professional staff, great location. Couldn’t be bettered.
Michael
Assigned a room in the attic, with low ceilings and what could only be described as quirky fitments abd amenities.
The room was on the front and side of the hotel,
so was very noisy from traffic and service vehicles.
We were only sleeping there, as we had engagements in the city, so didn't have the opportunity to use the hotel amenities.
I don't think that we will return.

Andy
Nice quick checkin, shown to pantry to see the range of free nibbles and drinks on offer throughout our stay and then to our room; compact, lovely features, like the dolls house drinks centre, the record player (with LPs and a library downstairs if the ones in the room didn't excite). The hotel has a grand entrance and is very relaxed, some may say bohemian; dark walls, interesting features throughout, lovely bright and comfortable lounge, all in all very good value and only a short walk to the centre of York along a wide avenue-style road, past a park and your first tourist sight is the minster.
Adrian
Great room and overall property, hearty breakfast and fantastic staff!!! Everyone was so welcoming and helpful! And the best was how dog friendly the place was. Would definitely stay again if going to York. Totally recommended!! Loved it!
marcelle
The accommodation was truly fabulous and exceeded all expectations. The service provided by the staff was exceptionally warm and attentive throughout our stay. Furthermore, the overall ambiance and charm of the guest house itself created a wonderfully memorable experience. We wholeheartedly recommend No. 1 Guest House to anyone seeking a delightful and comfortable stay in York! 1st class!
Alistair
Cannot criticise anything during our short break. It was excellent from start to finish. All of the staff were perfect and the hotel was a pleasure to stay at.
Suzanne
Unique boutique hotel with quirky features
Andrew
Room was clean. Awkward check-in experiences with a large desk. It was nice having someone bring us to the room and shown us everything. Good lighting in bathroom.
Blake

Stephen

Jorge

Mary
The hotel is really lovely and has so many lovely personal touches that makes it feel like a home from home. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The breakfasts are great and the bed is so comfortable.
Richard
The hotel was really nice, however it was just really noisy. The wooden floors without the right insulation enable all the noise from the room upstairs to be hear when some walks etc. our room was the one on the ground floor near reception and the constants noise form thenkitcrh/ dinning area, car park etc made it into a rather disappointing stay. A shame as the room was beautiful, although tired in places still beautifully decorated.
Robert
Superb residence that is truly dog friendly - first class spa too
Christine
A perfect stay from start to finish, the room, the staff and service, the bar. Everything! I highly recommend!

Delightful hotel.
We stayed here before so knew what to expect. The hotel is great and easy access to York city centre. the breakfast seems a little pricy, but you definitely won't go hungry!!
Only gripe, £25 a night to park in their car park. As a guest of a not cheap hotel, I would expect parking to be included with maybe a charge if used beyond check out.

Very welcoming and friendly team
Lovely welcoming team, great in room amenities, pantry available too. Comfy bed.
Adrian
Really nice stay - modern trendy room with a turntable and four poster bed - lovely pantry room and a really cool bar with a working model train - very friendly nice service in the bar - one word of caution is that we did get blocked in in the car park!
Berenice
A lovely place to stay, with charming touches
I enjoyed my stay - the hotel staff were fantastic, and the massage I booked was out of this world! My room was less than spacious, though the ceiling was very high which helped it feel bigger (and the four poster bed was fab). I loved the help-yourself pantry, and the skin and hair products were lovely.
kim
Lovely property, really nice vibe. The staff were fantastic.Rooms were cute, and the air conditioning was so good.
Doug
Fantastic
Great hotel - we’ll be back
Bobby
Lovely spot.
Mitch
Disappointing bedrooms, weird furniture, lot of road noise and street lights through poor quality curtains. Air conditioning not working in one room, coffee machine not working in another. Tiny towels and not much hot water.
Expensive for the lack of quality in the bedrooms. Staff where good and the cocktail bar, lounge and dinning room where nice. Would not stay again

Angela
We absolutely loved our stay at No. 1! The hotel is beautiful, warm, and inviting. The rooms were clean and cozy. The staff were very kind and accommodating.
We also enjoyed the spa and restaurant (Pearly Cow).
We weren’t informed about the pantry when we checked in, so make sure you ask about it if you stay.

The location of the property is a 15 min walk from train station and a 10 min walk into town. Very accessible. Quiet and safe surroundings. The main positive of this hotel is the staff - friendly, polite and knowledgeable. Great bartenders and a lovely room to sit and drink. I would recommend the restaurant - food was great. Def a place I would stay at next time I’m in York.
Steve
We had the best stay for our 3rd wedding anniversary. The hotel went above and beyond to make us feel so welcome. It was our first anniversary since we became parents and the hotel were amazing with our baby girl. The room was perfect and so child friendly. The hotel provided a cot bed and also had a tepee play area for our little one to enjoy. We are at the pearly cow restaurant next to the hotel and it was great food and service too. Thank you for an amazing stay to all the fantastic staff at the hotel and we already can’t wait to return in the future for another visit.
Catherine
Lived up to all my expectations
Carl
Faultless in every way. Certainly stay again and recommend
Phoebe
AMAZING! But…….
The hotel is simply stunning; the decor, the atmosphere, the works. It is just gorgeous. The rooms are so tasteful and cosy, and the bar area and lounge were gorgeous for an evening drink. The staff were all unbelievably helpful and friendly and we loved the addition of the pantry for an evening snack. The location is ideal for walking right into the centre of town for food and drinks. We didn’t eat at the Pearly Cow but the menu looked beautiful too.
Now for the but…
The walls are paper thin. You can hear absolutely everything the guests in the next room are doing. I totally understand that it is an old building, but I do think it’s a shame that steps have not been taken to ensure maximum privacy & comfort, and soundproofing for example.
If a cosy night’s sleep that is relaxing is what you are after, I would really strongly consider taking this information on board.
Our night was so disturbed we did have quite a poor night’s sleep sadly. We spoke to reception and the manager was great in how she handled our complaint.
I do think it is such a shame that such a dampener has been left on our stay. I would maybe have thought twice about booking had I known this would be the experience we would have.
Sadly I have to rate the hotel as poor because ultimately, a hotel is for sleeping, and unfortunately we did not get much of that.

Zara
Stay was great in every way although we booked a taxi to the train station at the end. The taxi did not turn up for 20 minutes. In the end I ordered an Uber. My mum who is in her 80s and does not need the stress - and I just made the train. I felt reception dealt with this poorly and were not at all helpful. I had to sort it out
Kate
Lovely hotel with quirky decor. A real gem and within easy walking distance of the station and city centre. Great that the staff will pick up your luggage from the station on arrival and it was in our room when we arrived. Afternoon tea was wonderful and we loved the pantry and record player in our room. A great place to stay.
Richard
Absolute gem of an inn and spa, it was so relaxing, the massage treatments were wonderful, and the food and building very lovely.
Cong
It is a beautiful place to stay. We enjoyed it very much.
LINDA
Loved the unique features - a free snack pantry (sweets, drinks, fruit etc.), traditional record player in each room and records to pick and choose from, quirky but tasteful decorations. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable, clean, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms with easy to use push button bath/shower (no trying to work out which knob or lever to push or pull!), very comfortable underfloor heating in the bathroom. Lovely, comfortable lounge and bar and excellent restaurant.
Xuening
If you’re staying in York, seriously—stop searching. This place is a gem.
My partner and I were initially a bit unsure because the building looks quite old from the outside, but we were quickly blown away by the attention to detail inside. The room was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed and more—nice amenities, a turntable for some cozy vinyl vibes, and a pantry area with a great selection of snacks and drinks.
The shower had surprisingly good pressure (which we really appreciated), and everything was spotless. Housekeeping came by daily to freshen things up and restock, which made the whole stay feel really well cared for.
All in all, it was such a lovely stay—comfortable, charming, and way beyond what we expected.

David
I’ve stayed in their sister hotel No42 in Margate a couple of times and it’s excellent. Well No1 York did not disappoint it was beautiful friendly and luxurious! I love this little group of hotels and can’t recommend highly enough! One rue of thumb for me with hotels is how much the staff are invested and seem proud to work there and they do in spades here. Just fabulous, I’ll be back.
Aimee

NICOLA
Absolutely fantastic hotel! Staff great, loved the pantry, parking, just everything about it! Nice stroll into the centre! Will always come to this hotel - a real gem!!!!

A wonderful Hotel just slightly away from the centre of York, but very, very walkable from the station and anywhere you might like to visit.
The staff were engaging, wonderfully helpful, the room was perfect and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again in the future.
Other touches like the \"Pantry\" and convenient onsite parking made it a real joy to stay.

Amazing hotel! Best place in York.
katie
Brilliant location just far enough away that it is nice and quiet but within a close commute to hit all major areas of interest. Beautiful restaurant and bar within the hotel, very comfortable and stylish decor. The only downside I would say is it was let down but having dogs in the lounge area when going for a drink before dinner. I know many people like this, and like the opportunity to bring their pet everywhere but personally felt it brought the atmosphere to a more country pub with dogs lying around.
Staff were exceptional, very helpful and informative. Parking came at a cost which is to be expected however it would be a good gesture to have this readily available for guests then pay for additional time after check out if needed.
The pantry was a wonderful feature, very unique and a welcome treat after a full day and night out in York. Rooms are small but very well utilised, warm and well decorated with lovely little touches and attention to detail. Would absolutely stay again.

Amazing place.
We stayed in small room (25) nice and quiet at top of property. Comfy bed with shutters and a curtain. Coffee machine with pods , kettle and coffee bags sugar and real milk in room. Little seat sofa, robes, slippers, a working turntable and records, tv,radio and free snack pantry which was incredible. Fresh baked cake under cloche, small tubs of ice cream northern bloc, listers crisps multiple flavours , jars of jelly beans , jelly babies , shrimps& dolly mixtures and pick and mix bags, and clawson drinks in fridges - sensational. Parking is next to property for 24 hours £25 but simple walk into town 8 mins. Bar downstairs with lovely seated areas , don’t do the spa, takes Expedia discount codes too. Stunning

Little seat sofa, robes, slippers, a working turntable and records, tv,radio and free snack pantry which was incredible. Fresh baked cake under cloche, small tubs of ice cream northern bloc, listers crisps multiple flavours , jars of jelly beans , jelly babies , shrimps& dolly mixtures and pick and mix bags, and clawson drinks in fridges - sensational.

Unique hotel, nothing standard. Wonderfully individual, staff were very helpful, pleasant surroundings. Breakfast was good, eggs Benedict was delicious. Only download, some rooms needed a little tlc

Quirky decor in an historic setting in a great location near to York centre.
Loved the pantry
Disliked noisy guests above us
Disliked expensive breakfast £50.00 for 1 full English (without beans) extra for toast and 2 teas and small glass of juice and 1 croissant. Should have walked into town.

Great stay. Great staff, great restaurant and bar. The room we had was tiny - absolutely no place to put anything, let alone luggage. And we would've liked to USE the desk, not have it covered with a turntable we didn't care to utilize.

Outstanding little hotel, we booked it on a whim and we were not disappointed. Attention to detail was amazing. Perfectly positioned to allow a beautiful walk to the shambles etc. only grumble would be you could hear the usic inside the restaurant from our room which wasnt an issue for me as i can sleep through anything but, it did keep my hisband up.

Beautiful and well-maintained townhouse located very close and within walking distance to the old town and many shops. We stayed in a large room facing the rooftops (nice and quiet) and we were very satisfied with the size and the furnishings. Nice selection of vinyl records that you can play in your room - every room has it’s own record player! Pantry is a big bonus as you have a lot of choice to choose from ranging from drinks to snacks and sweets. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Thank you for the lovely note and complimentary chocolate as we celebrated our honeymoon during this stay! We enjoyed our first trip to York very much and will definitely be back. We absolutely recommend the No. 1 by Guesthouse in York for anyone visiting York!

Loved the “pantry” (if you know you know)

Fantastic treat with family
Really lovely family stay - beautiful big room kitted out with great toys for little one and also accommodating for the dog.
Fantastic meal in the restaurant too. Highly recommend. We ate pre 6pm due to the little one and the prix fix menu is phenomenal value.
One small point is that the corridors feel a bit tired and old so first impressions coming in from car park are disappointing, but the room and rest of the hotel more than make up for this.

Completely wonderful hotel! Only note is that the mattress was surprisingly terrible, especially for a suite
But everything else is amazing: the massage, breakfast, style, music, staff… all wonderful

Welcoming and quirky. Staff were all amazing and the baggage pick up from station is a great touch.
We had lovely cocktails in the bar, yummy breakfasts and the free pantry was a sweet idea!

The very best way to stay in York! A beautiful property, made even more amazing by the staff, the record player in the room and of course, the pantry!
