The Bar Convent Guest House

Excellent proximity in town

No discount parking

A wonderful historic building with real character, good facilities, well located.

The property was quite large and took me a little time to orientate.

This property exceeded my expectations with warm hospitality, a charming large room with lots of extras, and great breakfast. The location just outside the city walls and minutes to the train station added to the value. There was a nice shared kitchen and laundry machines if I’d stayed longer, those would have been utilized! However, overall I found York a bit overpriced.

Pricing was high, but pretty standard for York.

Good location near the train station. Interesting history. Friendly staff.

The lift broke on the first day of my stay and I was told it would be down for a week. My room was on the 3rd floor. With bad knees, I could not easily navigate the stairs and only went up and down once a day - I just stayed in my room in the evening rather than have to face the stairs. Checking out was a miserable experience because there was no one in reception to help me with my bags. I had to turn my largest piece of luggage on its back and slide it down the steps behind me. The property might always want to consider refreshing some of its linens/towels. I am sorry to write something negative about this very interesting property and its friendly staff but leaving patrons to muddle through without an elevator really negatively impacted my stay .
