Finally, a typical hotel! The room was very light, spacious, immaculately clean and quiet. There was not only a kettle in the room, but a whole range of teas, snacks and hot chocolate. The view from the window was lovely and the bathroom with bath was exceptional! Breakfast is served in picnic baskets and can be pre-ordered, again typical products and finally not the usual fake hotel breakfast. There is always a corner with hot drinks and snacks. In short, impossible not to feel good!

Barbican House is a quaint house very fitting with the town of York. The property is exceptionally clean and the room very cosy and comfortable with everything you need. Durga and his wife are very welcoming and accommodating hosts and the breakfast is a perfect way to start your day. Would highly recommend Barbican House to anyone wanting an authentic visit to York. Location is excellent.

The location was great and very close to tourist spots. It's a bit of a walk from the station, so if you have heavy luggage, I recommend taking a bus or taxi. Also, there is a supermarket (Sainsbury's) next door, so it's very convenient.

    Nice guesthouse with friendly host and decent facilities. Room was large and comfortable with lots of amenities. Location was fine and a quiet road. Near enough the city centre but far enough for a healthy walk. Would stay again. Thank you.
