Friendly atmosphere and comfortable rooms in a great location, close enough to the center of York to be a short walk, but far enough to be quiet. Really enjoyed my stay here.

Nice quiet b&b

Nice visit to St Mary B&B. Good clear communication about arrival time and instructions on parking and entry. Nice big rooms and did not heard any noise from the other rooms or train line which is nearby. It is in nice walking distance to York centre. Nice option for breakfast which had an option of difference set menu, but you could still add additional without issue

Chaleureux et bien situé

L’accueil est très chaleureux. La chambre est confortable à l’exception des oreillers beaucoup trop minces. Très bien situé pour visiter le centre de York. Le petit déjeuner était très bien également. J’y retournerais.

Convenient guest house in a quiet location. Walking distance from the train station and the centre of York. Comfortable room with everything you need, but the decor was looking a bit tired and could do with a bit of a spruce. The breakfast was perfect and setsnyou up for the day.

Friendly hotel adjacent to station.

Nice, clean guest house, very close walk from the station. Enjoyed the breakfast, and the staff were welcoming. Only a couple of issues. First, the lighting is too gloomy. A few more lumens would have made the room appear brighter. Second, my room was at the front of the house, and I was awakened at 3am by noisy works going on at the railway opposite. To be fair, the weather was really warm and I had left the windows opened. When i shut them, the double glazing helped suppress the noise.

Everything is brilliant about St. Mary's Guest House in York! Location is perfect - just 10 min stroll along the river front into the centre. Beds very comfy. Breakfast pentiful, cooked to order and delicious. Manager, Caroline, is wonderful. Parking inexpensive and easy. We would highly recommend this for a city break.
