The Barbican house had always been our favourite place to stay . We hadn’t met the new owner until now . I have to say Durga couldn’t have done any more than he did for us . Exellent breakfast & room . You feel very much at home, nothing is too much trouble. The room was spotless. We will be returning again soon .

Excellent hotel. Family run by very attentive and welcoming proprietors. Location is close to the City walls and a short walk into the centre. Room was very clean and well presented. Would definitely stay again without hesitation.

Probably the worst hotel ever stayed in - room 7 - dirt in every crevice of the furniture been there for years and years - stained carpets - bed on wooden bits - chipped and damaged furniture a wardrobe you can only use half because of the bedside table - bathroom hairs on floor and in shower - breakfast do not pay the extra money not value for money - reported all this to owners and said just to go ahead and post my review.

Had a fantastic stay here. Having stayed at many different high end guest houses and hotels over the years they could all learn a lot from this host. Durga was so welcoming and couldn't have done enough for you. Superb breakfast and lovely clean accommodation . If you appreciate good service and like your privacy respected at the same time, don't hesitate to book here. It's a great location too!

My wife and I booked one night’s stay at this lovely guest house which is very well placed for shows at the Barbican centre and a short walk into the main shopping area of York. Durga the proprietor was courteous and welcoming. On arrival he was ready to greet us with warmth. We quickly went through a list of items we would request for the following morning’s breakfast. The only item my wife would have liked was some baked beans which were not an option. Breakfast was very good nonetheless and plentiful. I can highly recommend this establishment for anyone wanting a comfortable room with everything necessary for a pleasant stay in the city of York.

Family run guest house, who were very friendly and welcoming. Everywhere was spotlessly clean. The bed was comfortable and even tho close to the road, the secondary glazing cut out the traffic noise. Parked on their little drive for our 2 day stay as we walked everywhere. The room had plenty of wardrobe space and drawers, lovely toiletries supplied. We ate at a cafe on the first morning - a 10 minute walk away ... but paid for brekkie on 2nd day ... really enjoyed the cooked full English- plenty of it Such a lovely family who couldn't do enough for their guests ... we'll definitely be back.

Angepriesen als luxury guesthouse war einzig der Preis luxurös. Das Guest House befindet sich an einer stark befahrenen Hauptstrasse. Das Zimmer war ok und sauber. Zimmer war kalt und Radiator konnte nicht geöffnet werden. Alles in allem viel zu teuer.

Greeted at the door by a very pleasant and helpful host who took our payment and breakfast order. The house is spotlessly clean. Shown to our room which was also spotless. To say we were in a room next to the road the road noise wasn’t overly bearing. It was certainly service with a smile and would definitely recommend. Breakfast is good with a great selection. Will definitely return if we stay in York again.
