Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Great location to base yourself and walk around York. Lots of restaurants and pubs nearby to choose for a meal and lots of nearby shops.
If arriving by car be prepared for some tight parking and possible shuffling of cars to get in and out but the host happily sorted our parking so we could get out when we planned to leave.
La situation près du centre ville L’accueil de Marc
La proximité d’une rue très passante et la chambre totalement dépourvue d’insonorité. La literie très moyenne
Freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber
The room was beautiful, bed was very comfortable and the location was excellent. Mark (the host) was lovely, very friendly and nothing was too much trouble.
Nothing.
Marks hospitality. Value for money
Deco could have been better but this was overcome by the price.
The location was the excellent and free parking stuff was very accommodating and helpful
The location
The location was excellent, just a couple of minutes walk from the Minster. The room was a good size and was clean and comfortable. Our host, Mark, was friendly and helpful.
Location, parking,
It was 2 floor without lift
The Hotel is in a very good location to get quickly to everything in York by walking. The Rooms are nice and big, and very clean aswell. The owner is a very nice and lovely Person, he can give you very good recommendations what to do in and around york and is open for some nice little chats!! Pub recommendations were spot on!

Great location. Lovely room with comfortable bed. Mark, the owner was very helpful and kind. Nothing was too much trouble. I highly recommend it.
No breakfast, but a small local Tesco next door. Location was great, easy to get about. Room was ok, had everything we needed and for what we paid with the great location, I really can't complain. I would stay again. Helpful owners. Very small area for free parking - bonus!
Parking and maneuvering - it is free, but challenging :-)
Close to the minster
Tiny shower
The proximity
The shower pressure
La ubicación
Había olor a perro mojado al entrar probablemente las alfombras que estuvieran húmedas
There where no breakfast. Location was great.
The ensuite, bed , curtains
Arredamento un po' troppo "datato".
Amazing location - just a short walk to the Minster and town! Mark was super friendly and helpful. The room came with a fan for a warm night and was well kitted out
The bed was a little soft but still slept well
The location was splendid - less than two minutes' walk from the restaurant that we had booked for dinner - and having free parking so close to the centre of the City was hugely advantageous. The owner, Mark, was very friendly and extremely helpful.
Because of the location, it was quite noisy in our room (which faced onto Gillygate), but the owners couldn't really do anything about the noise without moving the hotel! Some aspects of the room were a little dated and the pillows were very flimsy.
Stanza molto ampia e pulita, posizione comodissima per vedere il centro ed host gentile e disponibile. Top.
2 minute walk into York Clean & spacious room Huge ensuite with powerful shower Free parking & Wifi Friendly host (Mark)
N/A
Staff were there to greet us. Gave us a run down of things to do. Lovely people. Location is perfect. Room was large and clean and bed comfy.
Honestly can't think of anything issue.
Struttura comoda perchè molto vicina al centro di York (York minister è a pochi passi). Il punto forte è il parcheggio interno. I proprietari sono molto gentili.
Le camere sono un po' datate, tendaggi e mobili sarebbero da sostituire. Da migliorare la pulizia della stanza e delle scale che portano in camera.
Near centre
Carpark. Rang guest house after booking to enquire about parking, was told no need to book because parking was plentiful. After I parked car on Sunday there wasn't any room left to manoeuvre and park another car . So a total of One car in car park. Very poor
Nice to find a location in the Centre of York with parking even though tight it was adequate. Nice quiet room.
Superb location, excellent value for money, very attentive and helpful staff, would stay again if going to York
Car park was very difficult to get into and could easily have been blocked by other guests
La posizione è ottima, a due passi dal centro. La camera era grande e pulita.
We were able to park our car in the tiny car park close to the property at no extra cost. This was much appreciated as parking in York is at a premium and very costly.
The room was very hot but this was understandable given the very high temperatures. The hosts did what they could with fans. It was also a bit noisy from the traffic in this central part of York.
Location excellent. Mark was a fantastic host. Parking
Convenient location near York Minster and great for accessing the City of York. Room 7 is a comfortable room on the ground floor with good king size bed, lovely towels and modern bathroom with large shower. Parking was available at the back of the guest house. Mark is a very helpful and friendly host. Would stay there again.
For those with mobility needs just to be aware there are a few steps up to the guest house.
Great location and friendly helpful staff. I arrived at 11am and asked to drop off a bag, but I was able to check in early so that was really appreciated. It's close to everything, road can be a bit noisy at times but that's to be expected being so close to the centre, but there was no noise from other rooms. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious with a sofa. Had multiple fans as I stayed during a heatwave. I especially liked the hand lotion in the bathroom and the smart TV so I was able to watch netflix, which is still quite rare for hotels. Overall a great stay and would recommend.
There was a bit of road noise, and a bit of noise after kick out of the pub opposite. But it was quiet enough to sleep later so not a huge issue.
La ubicación
No me gustó que no me hicieran la cama, solo estiraron el edredón por encima. Tampoco me gustó el olor a humedad incrustado en una moqueta oscura y vieja que es muy desagradable. Por último, hacía mucho calor y el ventilador no funcionaba bien.
Tutto la posizione soprattutto!!
Forse il letto un po scomodo...e con la pulizia si può sempre migliorare.
L’accueil , emplacement et parking
Climatisation à revoir
Ottima posizione e personale top
Camera calda e bagno non pulitissimo
Sehr freundlicher unkomplizierter Empfang! Gute Tips vom Besitzer!
Der Lärm der Straße ist leider nicht schön zu reden. Nachts lüften geht daher nicht und Ohrenstöpsel sind Pflicht.
Central location and free parking.
La simpatia e disponibilità del gestore che, nonostante i due piani a piedi, ci ha aiutato a portare su i bagagli. La possibilità di parcheggio proprio a ridosso del centro storico. La posizione eccezionale a due passi dalla cattedrale. Alloggio pulito e silenzioso
Una poltrona di troppo :)
L'hôte Mark est très gentil. Chambre confortable, très bon emplacement à proximité immédiate du centre-ville.
Problème d'eau chaude pour la douche.
I know York is an expensive City but we didn't think the property was value for money paying over £200 for one night. Bedroom was adequate but nothing special and there was no breakfast offered. Friendly guy who met us on arrival and parked up for us as it was very cramped parking.
No breakfast included considering price.
This was a good value stay in a great location with parking. Only a couple of minutes from the city walls. Mark was friendly and helpful, letting us park early and even had our room ready early too. The room was comfortable and clean with tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits. No disturbance from other guests.
Our room was above the road and we aren't used to the noise.
올드타운을 걸어서 모두 볼 수 있을 정도로 위치가 좋고 주차장까지 있어 정말 편했어요, 호스트인 마크는 정말 친절하셨고 방도 깨끗하고 좋았어요. 마크가 추천하는 펍에 가서 캐스크 에일을 즐겨보세요!
Mark the owner was first class
Nothing
Friendly host willing to do anything for you, good location.
Nowhere to put your cigarette butts and I don't like to litter.
The host was incredibly kind, friendly, and always willing to help. The location is excellent – right in the city center, with everything within easy walking distance. We had a great stay and would happily recommend this accommodation.

The location and Mark the host
Nothing
The location was great, very close to the Minster. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable. The owner was friendly and very welcoming 😊
The decor was dated and although it was generally clean, sink, toilet etc, it hadn't had a proper clean, woodwork, door and fittings in bathroom were dusty, corners of shower cubicle dirty and towels stained unfortunately 😔
Excellent location just a few minutes from Minster. Large spacious room and parking on site.
Location. Excellent host. Parking
Ni breakfast available but I knew this before I arrived.
Great location close to city centre
situation à 100 m du mur d'enceinte de la vielle ville.
Le parking est pour 3 véhicules, ce qui est parfait si l'on fait abstraction de la complexité pour s'y garer. Le problème est que l'ordre d'arrivée ne correspond pas forcément à l'ordre des départs. C'est encore plus difficile lorsque le propriétaire ne vit pas sur place et qu'il faut dans un premier temps lui téléphoner pour qu'il sache que l'on désire prendre la route, puis aller frapper à la porte que l'on suppose être la chambre du propriétaire de la voiture qui vous empêche de partir. Dommage que pour ce prix il n'y ait pas de petit déjeuner.
Gillygate is close to the city centre and includes parking. Mark was great was providing information and dinner and breakfast recommendations.
Nothing.
Location ,parking and a very kind owner
Too steps
Very close to the city.
Great location and staff fantastic
Nothing
Great location and lovely host
Mark, the host, was friendly and helpful. He assisted us in parking our car in the (small) car park, and offered some excellent tips for places nearby to have breakfast. The property is a few minutes' walk from the centre of York, and close to some excellent eateries.
Nothing to report.
Mark was a fantastic host. Nothing was too much trouble and very accommodating
The location was perfect, close to main central city attractions. We had a very warm welcome from Mark the owner who was very helpful & friendly. The room was large & very comfortable.
Outside signage wasn’t very obvious. Passed the property once but quickly located it on driving back along the street. Other than that it was all very good.
Very clean and good position
Nothing
Great location steps from Yorkminster. Parking on site with assist from Mark was great and room in ground fooor was a bonus.
Mark was an extremely friendly, helpful and informative host. Nice clean room in an excellent location. Parking was an added bonus!
Great location
Mark was extremely helpful and the location was excellent being so close to the Minster. The bed was comfortable and clean.
L'emplacement, la place de parking, l'accueil
Il faisait beaucoup trop chaud dans la chambre malgré 2 ventilateurs, un lit en 140 et un matelas pas très confortable, la faïence coin lavabo pas très propre, absence du propriétaire au moment de notre départ.
Good location and friendly landlord with good local knowledge
We had a wonderful stay at Gillygate Guest House. Mark was friendly, welcoming and attentive from the moment we arrived. He was very helpful with the parking arrangements and made us feel at home. The room was spacious, comfortable and very clean, making it a great base for exploring York. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the city centre while still being in a quiet area. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting York.
A very friendly and accommodating host. Double fans on a very hot evening.
The place was a little tired, needing renovation.
Great location. Super close to Minster. Disabled parking nearby which was a bonus.
Nothing
Great location and friendly host
Parking is difficult it was very tight you need to be a confident driver to get in the small space. The guest house is on a busy street if you are at the front it can be very noisy and the windows could do with extra glazing. The shower wasn't great the cold water went off.
The bedroom was on the first floor
The room was very clean and in a position perfect to get to the center of York and all the shops and restaurants, we would definitely stay there again and definitely recommend it for value so close to the center.
Nothing.
Friendly welcome and great location No breakfast available.
Tight parking space by manager very helpful
Konumu ve sahipleri mükemmeldi, oda oldukça temiz ve yataklar rahattı. Bir sonraki York seyahatimizde de kesinlikle burayı tercih edeceğiz. Her şey için teşekkürler!
Handy for the centre and buses
The host was very helpful. The location is amazing. The room was secure and comfortable and perfectly adequate and a good size. Good value for a central location.
Unfortunately the TV didn't work properly, and the remote control was taped together. It is perfectly adequate, just a bit dusty in places with fairly tired old furniture.
Very well located for the Minster, comfortable and clean, friendly welcome
The owner was a gem and fulfilled a special request above and beyond, provided maps and directions to points of interest and helped us with bags. The room was amazing (the sink threw us for a loop but was overall charming) Great amenities, the bed was comfy and cozy, without much squeeking
Literally nothing
The host was patient on the phone when we checked in. He left the code for us to go straight to our room. We had parking.
The room was dated, and there were some visible cob webs. The tv was in an awkward position, although we only watched it shortly. The bed mattress was old and too springy.
Mark was welcoming, friendly and accommodating The bed was a bit too comfy, never slept as much The location is very close to the town centre, everywhere was within walking distance.
There was nothing we didn't like,
Great location with a very short walk to centre, staff were very friendly and accommodating. We arrived on a motorbike and was grateful that we could store our gear after we had checked out so we could fit in a bit more sightseeing.
Very little we didn't like, but it was a shame the curtain was not thicker to block out more light which would have helped sleeping.
Perfect location and the owner was so helpful with tips about York. We really loved our stay.
Location, with parking
perfect location, room was spotless, host was very welcoming and left a little something our room for my husbands birthday, we were able to park up and check in early as our room was ready, it was our 1st time visiting york and we will be coming back again and would choose to stay at gillygate guest house again, thankyou 😊😊😊
couldnt fault anything
L'emplacement à proximité de la ville et le parking. L'accueil.
Chambre au 2ème étage sans ascenseur. Chambre vieillotte et mauvaises odeurs. Pas de petit déjeuner proposé. Très mauvaise isolation phonique et thermique.La chambre est sur une rue très passante. Personne pour le check out. Nous avons laissé les clés sur une console dans l'entrée.
Location was great and Mark was very helpful
It is looking a bit tired and shabby. In need of a bit of a refurb.
Ubicación, gente muy agradable

Mark è una persona veramente gentile, disponibile e amorevole. Ci siamo trovati benissimo nella camera, pulita, tenuta bene e sopratutto vicinissima al centro di York. Torneremo a trovarlo!

Die sehr zentrale Lage war sehr praktisch, wir haben uns auch über den Parkplatz gefreut, obwohl er klein war.
Wir hatten Fenster zur Hauptstraße und es war etwas laut. Wir konnten die Zimmertempetatur nicht regulieren, es war uns zu warm.
Very convenient. The owner couldn't have been nicer or more welcoming.
The position just outside the city walls could not have been better and access by road simple.
Parking was extremely limited. No food available
