The room was clean and had all the advertised amenities. Unfortunately when we stayed it was very warm and the windows only vented a little so there was no cross ventilation. The fan helped, but it was uncomfortable. The stairs were also very narrow up to the third floor and hard to navigate with large suitcases.

Relaxing stay

Delightful and quiet location and yet easy to get to all the main attractions of York city centre without the need for a car or taxi. The room and the bed were very comfortable and breakfast was really excellent. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and the property is well appointed just like on the photos.

Disappointing

Good location for what we wanted to do. Short walk into the city. Disappointed by the size of the room, very small not like those in the pictures on the hotels.com profile. Not enough hot water for a shower this morning, poor tv reception.

Weekend trip

Room was lovely and very clean. Although bedroom was relatively small, had a nice sized bathroom with a big shower. Only suggestion would to check the radiator in bathroom works as we couldn't get it to turn on despite other radiators working, making the bathroom quite cold!

We will be back

A super relaxing two night stay at 23 St Mary’s. The staff were helpful and friendly. We were pleased to have a comfy cosy room to come back to after exploring the city. A short walk along the riverside or thru the museum gardens brings you to the heart of the action. So many independent shops, interesting alleyways, good pubs, lovely cafes to investigate. Also check out the busy shambles market. Highlights were Guy Fawkes inn, (nice cosy outdoor space) Valhalla Viking themed pub, Sandwitches cafe (gorgeous food & fab decor) Bennett’s cafe for people watching, and the ‘shop that must not be named’ if you’re willing to queue… or visit later in the day when it’s quieter. We will definitely visit York again, and when we do, we will be booking 23 St Mary’s for a warm welcome & convenient location. Parking is chargeable, but worth it.

Pleasant hotel but the stairs were tough

The parking situation was hard to figure out. The alleyways were very small and we had to navigate our car through some small streets to circle back to the property. There is a public parking area near the hotel, but getting to it is not obvious. Since we arrived after 4pm we were self-checking-in. After finding the email to get the door code we found our key. Either because of the size of room we needed for 3 or because it was a Hotels.com reservation we were on the top floor, which meant 5 flights of tight stairs to pull our cases up, which was exhausting. Beds were hard and uncomfortable. The owners were very responsive and a definite highlight when we had questions about the heat of the room.

Quiet neighborhood within walking distance of York sights. Breakfast was delicious, but it cost £15 per person. The cook staff was wonderful. Two small problems… be sure to tell them in advance if you need a parking spot. We almost didn’t get one. It was £10 per night for parking with the hotel. It would have cost more in the nearby lot. Also, no one went in our room to freshen the dishes or towels. All that said, it was clean and comfortable and in a great location.
