Disappointing

Good location for what we wanted to do. Short walk into the city. Disappointed by the size of the room, very small not like those in the pictures on the hotels.com profile. Not enough hot water for a shower this morning, poor tv reception.

Weekend trip

Room was lovely and very clean. Although bedroom was relatively small, had a nice sized bathroom with a big shower. Only suggestion would to check the radiator in bathroom works as we couldn't get it to turn on despite other radiators working, making the bathroom quite cold!

We will be back

A super relaxing two night stay at 23 St Mary’s. The staff were helpful and friendly. We were pleased to have a comfy cosy room to come back to after exploring the city. A short walk along the riverside or thru the museum gardens brings you to the heart of the action. So many independent shops, interesting alleyways, good pubs, lovely cafes to investigate. Also check out the busy shambles market. Highlights were Guy Fawkes inn, (nice cosy outdoor space) Valhalla Viking themed pub, Sandwitches cafe (gorgeous food & fab decor) Bennett’s cafe for people watching, and the ‘shop that must not be named’ if you’re willing to queue… or visit later in the day when it’s quieter. We will definitely visit York again, and when we do, we will be booking 23 St Mary’s for a warm welcome & convenient location. Parking is chargeable, but worth it.

Perfectly situated hotel within walking distance of the train station and the city centre. Very quiet street and the hotel itself is beautifully decorated. Breakfast was top notch too and the staff were super friendly. 10/10

Pleasant hotel but the stairs were tough

The parking situation was hard to figure out. The alleyways were very small and we had to navigate our car through some small streets to circle back to the property. There is a public parking area near the hotel, but getting to it is not obvious. Since we arrived after 4pm we were self-checking-in. After finding the email to get the door code we found our key. Either because of the size of room we needed for 3 or because it was a Hotels.com reservation we were on the top floor, which meant 5 flights of tight stairs to pull our cases up, which was exhausting. Beds were hard and uncomfortable. The owners were very responsive and a definite highlight when we had questions about the heat of the room.

Quiet neighborhood within walking distance of York sights. Breakfast was delicious, but it cost £15 per person. The cook staff was wonderful. Two small problems… be sure to tell them in advance if you need a parking spot. We almost didn’t get one. It was £10 per night for parking with the hotel. It would have cost more in the nearby lot. Also, no one went in our room to freshen the dishes or towels. All that said, it was clean and comfortable and in a great location.

Very well presented property, beautiful lounge and dining room. My room was very well presented, but slightly let down since to access I had to leave the rear door of the property and travel down quite steep external steps. Once inside pretty good, just getting there less appealing.

lovely stay - my only complaints would be that the shower was a dribble really, and we weren't the only room that said it! Lovely house, lots of stairs - didn't stay for breakfast - the only other thing was the children in the house opposite though - children only the parents could be proud of - they were shouting not nice things out the window - not very nice language either!

So close to down town-we walked into town that evening and the next day as well. Lovely hosts were so helpful! Such a convenient location! When we cked out the next morning we just parking in the pay parking lot close to accommodations. It was safe and we felt comfortable leaving our car all day.
