We loved this guesthouse. The check-in was seamless, the proprietors/management were lovely, great breakfast, clean room. Everything we needed. I highly recommend.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Property is located in the city, walking distance to most major attractions. Breakfast was very good and served to your table. Parking is at front of the house with extra charge.

Breakfast was very good 😊 The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and tidy.
We really enjoyed our stay at Saint Mary’s guest house. It is only a 10 minute walk from the train station and is close to the city center too! Staff was friendly. Breakfast was good. Highly recommend this B&B.
Good cooked breakfast and pleasant service.
Bathroom was a bit small. Room was front of house, mainly quiet, occasional train noise.
Easy checkin/checkout.
Welcomed the available parking, though £12.5/night
Pleasant 10 min riverside walk to restaurants
Really enjoyed our stay and will be back. Staff friendly breakfast was great, room, clean and warm. Thanks everyone at st Marys hope to see you around christmas time
Very nice people here! It is an old guesthouse so the fact I was on the 3rd was ok, the stairs were solid but narrow so if I had more luggage than a small backpack it would have been hard. No issues with the other floors though. So to restate floor 3, room 10 quaint room for person with very little luggage.
A fabulous place to stay within walking distance of everywhere you would want to visit in York. A very comfy room and one of the best cooked breakfasts you’ll find anywhere. We’ll definitely stay again on our next visit.
Very friendly staff who were attentive and chatty. Always saying that if you needed anything else just ask. Breakfast was lovely. Ideally situated close to the river which made for a very pleasant walk alongside the river into the City just 5 minutes away. Room was clean and tidy. A lovely 3 night stay. My only criticism is that the wi-fi was very hit and miss, frustratingly dropping out very often.
