I can only review our room named The Shambles. It was small, located in the roof space so a lot of the room had the roof slope cutting off the space available.
There was tea and coffee provided but only 5 teabags on day 1 & 4 on day 2 also a minimal supply of uht milk cartons. The unit these were situated on was about 40cm high so you had to sit to brew up or bend over a long way. A small kettle took about 10mins to boil 2 cups worth of water
There was one small low down bedroom type chair for two of us.
The bathroom door was a sliding door with no rail at the bottom so it was impossible to open and close without it banging into the frame.
The biggest problem for us was that the walls are very thin and the people in the two neighbouring rooms could be heard when going about their normal business. They disturbed us and I am sure we disturbed them.
The bed and pillows were clean and comfortable.
The breakfast is tasty but not plentiful, my portion of mushrooms consisted of one mushroom about 5cm in diameter, on the second day it consisted of two mushrooms!
There is one DIY domestic toaster for up to 14 people!
There is a full page, in great detail, in the guest information book informing guests how much they will charged if they damage anything!
The guest house is well located for York's attractions being about ten minutes walk from the centre.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful
it is clean and warm, but it is not a cheap place,
I would expect more for the money paid.
