Having to pay for parking
What a find! Loved the layout, comfy bed. Modern and everything needed for a business stay. Also very secure for a solo female traveller.
Oven wasn’t the cleanest and fridge door needs to be double checked it closes properly.
Fantastic central location, clear comms. The bed was very firm which is far better than being too soft, but was certainly an adaptation. Something for some to be aware of. Aircon was good. Everything was clean, new, and well looked after. Parking was easy for us, got one of the four spaces straight away. 2pm checkin is earlier than many places and was appreciated. Check in and out is easy as code to the door is given half hour before check-in, so it's all contactless. I'd definitely consider staying here again.
There were 3 different incredibly strong smelling air fresheners / pot pouri in the room. We placed them outside as cleaners were working elsewhere and they got taken away. No harm done but my wife is autistic and it really was an extreme smell. Artificial and cheap smelling, in my opinion. The only slight detraction on an excellent stay. We got a bit of a 'threat' about parking at very short notice too. All comms were via booking.com other than I suddenly got an sms saying pay immediately or get fined at like 9:30 at night. I'd have appreciated a payment link up front to use once I'd parked, or a bit more grace to pay post trip. I'd agreed to it, but it felt aggressive. Maybe we'd pissed off the host already with the air fresheners I don't know! Hah.
The space was clean and well laid out.
We couldn't figure out how to do a 'dry only' cycle on the washer and couldn't figure out the microwave. We read the instructions but maybe the owners can figure out a way to make it easier??
Comfortable
Could not contact when arrived did not answer emails Washer and dryer dryer did not work No remote for aircon Tv wifi did not work until second day Was stated when booking car parking but once paid said it only had 4parks first in! Went to car park they recommended £40 per night Then tried to charge me $15 per night parking when stated it was$10! Wasted half a day waiting to get into accommodation.
Great location - spacious apartment.
There is a smoking area outside the doors.
Location perfect for train station and a short walk across the river to main attractions. The property was a good size and had all I needed for a short stay. Kept clean and tidy.
Not much to dislike to be honest.
Amazing location
I’ve stayed here twice and both times there were problems. First time I had only a hand towel. Just one. This time only one large bath towel. Both times it was booked for two people and both times once I complained I was given the code to the storage room to get my own replacements. This time I went in and was told to get it from the “blue bags”. Once I pulled a few towels out I realised they were dirty and wet and one had blood stains on it I’d touched them. I was told that even though this wasn’t good I was to climb over the bags and search inside a trolley. That also had no towels. Just really bad simple thing that has happened twice. Will never stay again sadly as touching other people’s dirty towels should never ever be a thing a paying guest is supposed to do. Gross stains on bed sheets. The bathroom had hair piled in a corner and the hob doesn’t work so if you want to make food you have to do it on one plug in heater so for two people very difficult. Oh and when I complained I was told they wouldn’t charge me for parking as compensation, even though this is t a clear charge before you go and you’d have thought all this would have maybe wanted them to give more. Absolutely dampened our weekend and upset with myself for giving them a second chance.
Excellent position. Parking was good value as NCP down the road charged £6 per hour! Spotlessly clean.
Finding only one dining chair was a shock. This was remedied after a few hours. Having to look up cooker instructions online was inconvenient. The bed head board fell off. The switches on the shower were intermittent and sometimes difficult to get started. Having a clock that was not functioning suggested lack of attention to detail. The downstairs space was very cramped.
The location was great
There arent any shampoo, milk and cornflakes
Location, nothing else!!!
There was dust, the bedding had visible stains, the shower was broken, the shower door was damaged and there was hardly any toilet roll provided.
The location was excellent
There was a power outage on the first morning at around 7:30am which resulted in us needing to go out and buy breakfast when we had prepared to cook it ourselves using the facilities. We contacted the number provided and were advised that we could use the facilities in another apartment to which they provided the code and they would get someone out to fix the power outage that morning. When we went to enter this apartment it turned out to be occupied which was mortifying! We contacted them again to advise of this and they then stated that they were filling booked, therefore we would need to purchase our breakfast elsewhere and they would refund the cost for our inconvenience. We were out for the morning but had to chase twice for an update on when the issue had been resolved so we could return to a property with power. We messaged again asking for an update at 11:36am as we were told someone would be there in the morning. We got a replay saying that they were checking. We then had to chase again at 12:50 as there had been not further update. At 13:08 we were informed that they were still waiting for an update and they we may have to be moved to another apartment. At this time we had headed back to the apartment and when we got back at around 13:30 the power was back on. Following us checking out, we messaged again regarding the refund of the money spent on breakfast along with the receipt and requested compensation for the inconvenience and interruption to our stay. We were advised that we would be refunded the balance for our breakfast the first morning and also the £20 parking fee. We accepted this and waited for the money to be returned to us, a total of £42.53. After 10days we still had not received the refund, so we messaged them again asking why we had not yet received the agreed refund amount and this was ignored.
The location was excellent and really ideal for being close to the centre, which made getting around very convenient. The only issue was being next door to a loud pub, and the bedroom skylight being positioned directly under the beer garden, which did affect the overall comfort at times. Overall though, the convenience of the location stood out strongly, with just those noise-related points impacting the experience. Hosts were fair and agreed to discount parking which was very much appreciated.
It felt quite cramped and not very comfortable overall, with a tired decor that made the space feel dated and not particularly well equipped for a comfortable stay. The shower door did not close fully, which resulted in excess water spreading into the bathroom area, which was inconvenient and made the space harder to use safely. In addition, the bedroom appeared dusty in places, which affected the overall impression of cleanliness. I am sharing this so it can be reviewed and improved for future guests.
Great location and very quiet.I didn't receive check in details but a quick call to Richard and this was promptly rectified,so wasn't an issue.I would recommend for a short break.
La ubicación cercana al centro y la atención proporcionada el contacto del apartamento.
Todo estaba bien
Lovely place to stay clean,comfortable,great location. It's the second time for staying here. We will be booking next year as well.
There wasn't anything we didn't like.
Everything! Highly recommend. Was a great location, had great amenities, it was nice to have space to move compared to the typical small hotels we’ve been staying in. Comms was excellent. Richard was great to deal with. Thanks for a lovely time in York.
Nothing!
Great location,friendly staff. Clean Highly recommend

Amazing location, walking distance from train station as well as city center. The place was spotless clean. and very comfy. Good Internet speed, I conducted my work sessions without any issues. The place is very well equipped for a comfortable stay.
If only it had a couple of washing pods to use with the washing machine, it would have saved me a trip to the store (I am always happy when I find some in the places I rent for surprise washes I need to do during my stays)
入住容易
有些东西需要修理一下
The location was great and within walking distance of the centre. However, it was next to a lively sports bar and so was very noisy. It was lovely to stay in a very clean apartment which was very good value for the money. Also being able to park overnight for £10 in front of the property was very convenient.
Being next to the very noisy and lively sports bar.
Perfect location, but unfortunately apartments are connected to the Pub so extremely noisy
Noise
Easy access and not far from the railway station. Very comfortable apartment.
Strange light switches
Great location, lovely little place. Room was ready early so we were able to check in early which was nice however had it not been we had been told where we could leave luggage so it wouldn’t stop us going about our day. Will defo go back

Not much
Wow where to start 1 - No wardrobe or coat hangers only some ineffective hooks on the wall 2 - No body wash or shampoo in the shower - apartment overview says 'free toiletries' 3 - No complimentary powder or liquid for washing machine (as in all other places we have stayed on this trip) 4 - Dump bin located a short distance from our unit door resulting in many flies in the unit 5 - No terrace as noted in the apartment overview 6 - No city view as noted in the apartment overview unless looking at the brick building next door qualifies for this 7 - Inner courtyard view noted in the apartment overview - never found this 8 - Safety lock box - spent three days dealing with the 'owner' how to get this opened as the previous room user had left locked - he kept bouncing backed to the 'maids' - they couldn't fix and advised the owner would come and fix - never did 9 - Air purifiers noted in the apartment overview - what are these I wonder unless opening the door covers this 10 - Walk through right of way to the flats at the back of the property plus access to the rear of the food business next door who have all their dump bins behind a fence at the end of the walkway creating another environment for flies - the walk through was particularly active on occasions impinging on our privacy as they usually looked in our window 11 - The unit WAS NOT serviced on any of the days that we stayed nor was another one a couple down from us when we spoke to the couple who were renting that one. we were fortunate to be on site on two occasions when the service staff arrived and asked to swap our used towels however again there was NO effort to service the unit 12 - No patio as noted in apartment overview 13 - No laptop safe as noted in apartment overview
Great location, apartment was small but ok for 2 people.
The property has only 4 car spots out the front which you cannot book and they advertised on booking.com to go 80m down the road to NCP parking and the cost would be 26 pound per 24 hours. We had to go to NCP parking and the cost was actually 40 pound per 24 hours so our parking costs was 80 pound instead of 52 pound the host said it would cost. I understand the property cannot control this charge but i would hope the site knows the costs better than tourist visiting so more people do not get caught out. Be aware of parking costs
Excellent location for rail, buses and city centre. Everything you need for a short stay, pleasant modern decor.
Due to the units basically being situated in the beer garden of the neighbouring pub it is extremely noisy on a summer evening, even with doors and windows closed. The property is very dark as there is little natural light but that’s not a big issue for a short stay. There was also a strong drain odour from the kitchen sink, which I’m sure is fixable.
Location
No shower screen meant whole floor got wet
24/24 check in Rustige plek dichtbij centrum en station Mooi ingerichte studio
Everything was great would stay again.
As a lite sleeper the Extraction fan in bathroom stays on for too long.
Great location. Good to have your own little apartment. Couldn’t hear the neighbours. Everything clean and spotless. Highly recommend to others.
There was nothing I didn’t like
Wasn't expecting it to be over 2 floors so that was a nice surprise. Great selection of TV channels rather than just free view
Bed wasn't the comfiest, I woke up with neck and back pain. Wall going up the stairs had some damage as did the bedding. Text states that you get '1 litre of milk' instead we got 10 of the little milk pods which was fine but that's not what comes across on the text so perhaps that needs rewording.
Great location, appealing and clean
Great location, compact and bijou. Perfect for an overnight stayvarranged at very short notice.
A few very minor maintenance issues, but noth8ng that impacted our stay. Overall still excellent.
Very clean all amenities plus air con. Like keyless entry as well so no worry if foget the key when out for the day Great location
Nice studio apartment, everything you need. Clean and close to the train station Liked the keyless system
Pub right next door, I knew this before booking and wasn’t particularly noisy as it closes at 11, but the early morning deliveries was noisy Other than the shower needing upgraded everything else was great
Well equipped apartment and close to all amenities
Easy to find and easy instructions to follow to enter the apartment
Zeitgemäße Ausstattung wie Einhandwasserhahn, Regenduschkopf plus Handbrause, Klimaanlage, Türschloss mit Code, Kombi-Waschmaschine mit Trockner, Restaurants und Frühstückscafes in der Nähe, reibungslose Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber,, zwei Flaschen Wasser im Kühlschrank war sehr nett
Location
Noise from pub next door, stairs slippy, no proper handrail, bathroom needs updating, no oven and only one hob so ate out
Location ok, close to train station & old town
Booked and paid for two bedroom apartment. Apartment only had one bedroom. Apartment was small, no linen provided for our daughter until requested. Apartment is next to a pub so was very noisy.
Prettige studio, binnen de stadsmuren. Goed bed, fijne douche. Airco voor warme dagen!
Nvt
Apartment was lovely & very well situated
A couple of issues with facilities in apartment but we spoke to member of staff & she said she would report them
We loved the location, near the station and museum gardens (we were there for a gig) some good pubs and shops nearby
Nothing- the pub might be a bit loud (World Cup) but we were watching it too so didn’t bother us. The planters outside the apartments need some greenery in
Bathroom needed a little bit more cleaning but the rest of the place was clean otherwise.
Location quiet but easy and varied access to York Centre by walking left or right. Bed mattress comfy, shower strong and hot. Kitchen fully equipped, comfy couch & big TV.
Tall people should note that the ceiling is very low on one side of the bed. I’m only 170cm but was worried I’d hit my head getting up in the dark night (having said that, I never did).
El baño no tenía mampara, por lo que se mojaba el.piso y se salpicada el inodoro. Hay una ventana solamente y no se puede.abrir. es un paño fijo, mas allá de que haga frío afuera es importante poder abrir un poco la ventana
Easy access Close to the train station Air con Milk for tea/ coffee
We had only a tiny roll of toilet paper on arrival, literally the tiniest amount, and no spare ones. Contacted both numbers available and received a response a few hours later, when we were already out, saying the cleaner must have ran out of it (!!!!!) and to look at a staff cupboard I believe for tissues. We were out so by the time we came back that cupboard was locked but to be honest this is not acceptable. There’s a Sainsbury’s down the road, they should have bought emergency toilet rolls before check in. I work in hospitality and would not dream of living a guest that paid £140 for an overnight stay without toilet paper. This is essential!!!!!!!! What happens if we arrived late when shops are closed? The shower leaks everywhere so need to be looked at. Also very low ceiling upstairs so not good if you are tall!
It is in a good location, although adjoining the beer garden of the pub makes it noisy. The kitchen area is very good and there’s a full sized fridge.
Noisy between rooms and the pub; A/C remote didn’t work (when I advised management, I was told to go to another apartment to check the remote). Requests to drop baggage early were not answered and the email with check-in instructions didn’t arrive until after 2 pm.
Location is amazing.
Slightly disappointed that the towels weren't changed during our 5 day stay.
I've stayed here many times as it is very close to my office. The apartments are clean, well presented and comfortable. Basic cooking amenities are provided which makes for a much more comfortable stay. The entry to the apartments is managed by a simple code which is text before the check in time.
Nothing relating to the rooms. The pub garden out the back (Nags head) can get a little noisy at times when the weather is nice, there is a major sporting event, or around September when the sea of students arrive in York.
Property was excellent
The bed was a little bit on the small side.
Excellent all rounder from apartment to location
The location
It was dark and dismal, couldn't stand up straight in the bedroom, back breaking! Shower took 10mins to start and it's right next to a noisy pub (must check location in future)
Everything
No allocated parking for all units We were lucky to get one
Great location, fully equipped, I could live there everyday
Pillow wasnt as comfy at least to me and the glass on 2nd floor was a bit scary to step on. The rest was great!
Lovely location, really good shower, nice little kitchen area, very comfy bed
The slanted roof is lovely but not very tall person friendly
Everything
Nothing superb
Great location inside the city walls.
The oven/microwave combi took a bit of getting used to.
Everything you need in one space, good location
The proximity to the train station and the city center was very convenient.
We could hear the neighbors very easily through the bedroom walls. They always quieted at 1100 pm.
Excellent location
The cooking facilities were not clean. Also no milk or biscuits were left for us
Great location and I booked it at the last minute because I had been let down by a previous booking. A little bit noisy as next to a pub with the sky light open but the air conditioning was great so you could shut the window anyway.
Nicely decorated and very spacious apartment. Great location in central York.
Just a bit noisy into the early hours from people on a night out, but it was a Saturday and there is a pub next door.
Appartamento a 5 minuti a piedi dalla stazione di York, ottima la connessione wifi, 2 televisori uno in camera e uno in cucina/soggiorno, tutto molto pulito
Vicini un po' rumorosi, materassa roppo morbido
Only a short walk to the train station and city centre attractions. Comfortable mattresses with good quality linens. Nice living area and bathroom, with well-maintained and well-equipped facilities. Would stay here again.
Generally peaceful, although noise from the adjacent pub garden was audible. Also conversations from neighbouring units can be heard through walls.
Great locations and had everything you need
Bathroom was clean but showed a bit mouldy
L'emplacement est excellent, et le lit était confortable. L'appartement est très sombre, mais la manque de fenêtres était expliquée dans la description.
Le logement était presque propre, mais il y avait quelques éclaboussures de graisse au-dessus de la plaque de cuisson et des tâches de sang sur la housse de couette, autrement lavée ! Il y avait une découpe dans le mur dans la salle de bain, d'environ un mètre de haut et 40 cm de large. Elle avait été carrelée pour s'harmoniser avec le carrelage mural, puis réinstallée entre le lavabo et les toilettes, laissant un espace sur un côté suffisant pour voir dans l'appartement voisin quand il était allumé et inversement. Peut-être la découpe correspond à un accès à la plomberie, comme une photo sur booking.com d'un autre appartement suggère, qui ne srmblait pas le cas ici. Même dans ce cas, la lumière et l'intérieur de l'appartement voisin ne devraient pas être visibles.
It was near the train station and a short walk to the city centre
The steep stairs within the property and the sloping roof in the bedroom
Location was amazing
Helpful staff in arrival as they were just fixing a few things, great location,
Location was brilliant. Clean, good value for money and everything you needed was supplied.
Super location with all you need facilities. The pub adjoining the property was friendly and not too noisy. All the highlights of the old city were within easy walking distance. Supermarket close by also.
The stairs! But we coped.
Brilliant location (near city and train station), spot-on communication from the owner/manager, lovely staff, loved the layout and in room appliances/facilities. Nearby pubs were great too!
Only thing I can think of it the stairs were a bit difficult for my feet related neuropathy, but next time we would book one of the accessible rooms the cleaners recommended. Definitely coming back.
The living space downstairs being separate from the bedroom upstairs was great, and definitely better than just a hotel room
The ceiling being slopped in the bedroom upstairs, made it feel really small and very difficult to move down 1 side of the bed. I'm tall and the ceiling was an big issue for me
Bar next door was quite loud starting around noon and continuing until 10 PM.
Great location
Yes
地理位置好,设施齐全,干净,管理人员亲切。 It has a good location, complete facilities, is clean, and the management staff are friendly.
我觉得这家公寓性价比高,我很满意了。 I think this apartment is good value for money, and I'm very satisfied.
Everything!!
Beautiful apartment. Convenient for both Railway station and the centre of York.
Liked the location it was close to the station and a short walk to the town centre.
There was no windows on the ground floor. It didn’t feel that clean. Pub next door which was loud until midnight.
All good
N/A
Easy access. Excellent furnishings for full stay.
Nothing. Everything was great
Location for town and access to other areas of York easy
Perfect location to the city centre and a short walking distance to everything. The apartments are well maintained and are equipped with various facilities for a number of nights stay. Extremely well maintained with both facilities and cleanliness. Staff are very friendly and helpful at all times.
Nothing to be unhappy with
Clean, simple, compact. Had everything I needed. Great shower. Warm, comfortable. Centrally located. Very close to train station. Walking distance to everywhere. Frank the maintenance director was very helpful and friendly. Richard responded quickly when I requested an early check in. Very satisfied.
The outdoor pub noise was louder and lasted longer than expected. I actually found it comforting in some ways and it did eventually stop, but I could see how some clients could be upset by it. I couldn’t figure out how to turn the bathroom radiator rack on.
Great location for the city, apartment is modern with everything you need.
Listing says 4 parking spaces infront of the apartments. You will find it hard to get 4 cars infront of the block of apartments. If you happen to park infront of the pub you will be charged. Safely its 3 cars parking.
Beautiful apartment, very comfortable. And literally on outskirts within walking distance of centre. Perfect. Staff where so helpful and pleasant.
Room, we have stayed before and definitely will be coming back. I can't recommend these apartments enought. Excellent value for money Thank you
Very central, bed was very comfortable with good quality bedding. The shower was good and there appeared to be everything needed for a few days stay, we only used wine glasses this time but would definitely stay again.
The lighting was a little confusing, the toilet was low for us but nothing that would stop us staying again or recommending the property.
Well maintained and looked after everything you would need for a short stay for a couple
Proximity to the very loud pub next door I obviously didn’t research it enough although the window in bedroom did dull out the noise quite a bit
The whole place was extremely good. The facilities were second to none at where I’ve stayed. Bests staying at any normal hotel. It’s like a home from home. Deffo be staying again in summer.
Nothing it was first class
Amazing place, central to everything we wanted to see.
Property had everything I needed to enjoy my stay.
Thoroughly enjoyed by staying and can’t think of anything I didn’t like.
