The Crescent Guest House

Esme was very welcoming, informative and helpful. The communal kitchen on the ground floor was a great addition with a fridge to store snacks / drinks and cooking facilities if you want to be self-sufficient. The room was bright, big and clean with a great shower and a comfy bed. The large fan provided helped us stay cool. The only drawback to our room at the side of the guesthouse was that the nearby main road is very busy and noisy throughout most of the night it seems - but earplugs were provided so this is a known issue. In cooler weather and with the windows closed, I'm sure it's not a problem. Parking on the streets nearby is not free, but the hotel will register your car onto York's permit system at a cost of £5 per night payable in cash. We'd definitely stay again.

Mo is an amazing host who looks after you from the minute you walk in the door! He is welcoming and very helpful and does everything he can to make you feel comfortable. The room was spacious and well equipped but most importantly it was really clean. When we checked in at 11am, Mo made sure that within an hour our room was ready which made our stay more relaxed. We paid just £5 for permitted on-street parking which was reasonable. I would happily stay here again and would do just for how excellent the hosting was!

A fabulous place to stay in York. So close to everything that we walked everywhere. Our room was lovely with a great view of the pretty neighbourhood. Mo was an exceptional and welcoming host. Highly recommend 😃

What a lovely little quaint guest house. Slightly quirky, sloping floors and creaky floor boards, but a great place to stay, very close to the city centre. Would highly recommend. No meals included, but there’s a large fridge to store your food and plenty of tea, coffee and milk.
