It was clean, great amenities, great location (although if you are sleeping on the sofa bed it can be loud at night, to be expected for the location right on the shambles). Easy check in.

Heart of the Shambles, Holiday ready

We rented all 3 units for our Shambles visit and enjoyed our stay and it was great. Easy location, a few stairs to climb, but right in the action with easy walks to just about every sight and experience York has to offer.

Myself and my family with 2 young children stayed 4 nights. It was comfortable and had all the basics that we needed. I felt safe and quiet. They allowed us an early check-in. The location was absolutely fantastic and we could walk to everything. Thank you!
