Me and my fiancee found The Old Vic to be a wonderful place to stay. We do a lot of travelling all around the UK and were in York as a treat for my birthday so were hoping for a pleasant weekend away. We couldn't have asked for more. Ian and Julie were great hosts and they and their staff... More

The Old Vic is easy to find and just the right distance from the city centre for a pleasant walk along the river.

Was lucky enough to come across The Old Vic Guest House, which came to my rescue having asked at about 20 places in York that were either fully booked or didn't accept 1-night only stays; understandable, especially with it being a bank holiday weekend, but frustrating for me nonetheless. The room was advertised as being £35 but when I rang... More

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights over the Easter break. The family and staff of the guesthouse were lovely and very friendly! The room we stayed in was also lovely but could have benefitted from blackout curtains. The three rooms surrounding ours were occupied by a large family with two very noisy, bratty kids who were constantly screaming... More
