The owners were happy to accept a late arrival (c. 10pm) on the Friday night as we were travelling from Sussex by train after work. We were greeted by Adrian, the friendly proprietor, who showed us over the road to our room in the... More

Warm comfortable room, lovely breakfast (particularly the fresh fruit platter), great location overlooking the city walls, Friendly helpful owners, I would certainly stay here again. Drawbacks? - Busy road so some traffic noise and late night revellers passing on their way home. Cheaper booked direct on Barbican House website that through Late Rooms! More

We weren't disappointed. The hosts should feel very pleased and proud of the huge number of super reviews Barbican House receives and I'd comfirm without any hesitation... More

Barbican House is a great base for visiting the beautiful city of York, being just a short walk away from the walls & the city centre & all its attractions.
