The room was amazing for what I was paying and was like a mini apartment. It was in a safe area close to shops. I am not a fan of contact free service and would have enjoyed conversation with staff but saw no one the whole time. Otherwise it was an awesome stay.

The Crescent Hotel

The crescent hotel is close to the center of York, so everywhere is walkable. Mo our host was very pleasant and helpful and went over and above to make our stay pleasant.

Comfortable Stay in an excellent location.

I enjoyed my stay, greeted by a very friendly and welcoming owner who was able to provide a full overview and recommendations for York. Car Parking was easy and cost just £5 a day which I thought was reasonable for the on street permit. Although this did seem limited on a first come first served basis. Room was basic but had all the necessary amenities, it looked like it had a recent refurbishment. Bed was comfortable. Only issue was the noise from the room. The room is next to reception and so there was noise bleed from the tad loud sound system (not a problem during bed times). The road noise was significant although the owners had kindly provided disposable ear buds in the room if needed. I was fine - but one to watch. Overall would stay here again.

Great value and location

Everywhere was clean and tidy. The improvements made by the new owners work much better like the new reception area they have created with a lovely mural of York. The rooms are all being renovated to a good standard with coffee pod machines as well as the usual kettle.We will definitely be back.

When we booked the guest house was advertised as bed and breakfast, but after it changed hands this had changed. But we were offered the use of the kitchen and fridge which was really helpful. The manager was very helpful and sorted a couple of small problems very quickly and happily for us

I stayed at the Crescent for several weeks and enjoyed exceptional hospitality. The rooms were quiet, clean, spacious and full of light. The hosts were warm, friendly and helpful. The location also made this hotel a rare find for the affordable cost of the rooms as it is so close to the city center. Each morning I had coffee and pastries at a wonderful bakery next door...
