Julie and Alan were such lovely, thoughtful and kind hosts who made me feel very welcome. My room was comfortable and quiet with great facilities. It was easy to find and in a great walking distance location to all attractions and fabulous restaurants, pubs and cafes. Breakfast was delicious with lots of wonderful choices. I will definitely stay here on my return trip to beautiful York.

Amazing hosts sharing their terrace home ❤️
We spent a lovely three days at this amazing location in York. So close to everything, located in Monkgate, this terrace home is beautifully decorated and comfortable. Alan and Julie are absolutely spot on hosts, from greeting you at the door and taking your luggage to your room for you, to providing a great breakfast each morning. Every morning Julie entertains her visitors with funny stories, and is happy to advise local attractions. If we are ever in York again, I wouldn’t hesitate to book a room at City Guest House!

Wonderful hostess and host. They were very welcoming, helpful and showed a genuine interest in finding out how my day had been. It seemed that they really cared that I was having a good time during my stay in York. The location is fantastic if you are looking to be just a little bit outside of the city centre. Not even a five minute walk to get to the historic part of York. Here it was nice and quiet in the evening. I really enjoyed my stay and would certainly stay here again if I were to return to York.

I really enjoyed my stay here. A warm & welcoming house. The hosts went out of their way to provide everything needed from delicious breakfast choices to a comfortable & clean room . This is a rare thing nowadays when the focus is on big corporate hotels & soul less rooms. Alan & Julie add the personal touch. The house is located within a 10 minute walk of local shops & restaurants.

Good location and friendly owners.
Stayed at the city guest for a city break. The location was great just a short walk from the Minster and the city centre. The room we stayed in was small but very homely. It was comfortable and clean. It was also the small touches that were nice, with chocolates and a bottle of water supplied every day. The couple who run the guest house were very friendly and breakfast was cooked to order. They also gave us a city guide map and offered advice about places to visit. Overall it was a very good experience and we would stay there again if we were to return to York.

From the moment we walked into City guest house we felt welcomed and at home with Julie and Allan. Julie introduced us to the layout of the town with a map and gave us some suggestions on where to start. Allan took our bags and brought them up to our room for us so we didn't have to. Everything about this property was immaculately clean and tidy and well put together. We were provided with everything we needed without having to ask. Every morning our breakfast was ready for us and the hospitality was amazing. We enjoyed the little chats we had with our hosts and they always made us feel more like friends than guests.
