Good location and very family orientated. We have just come back from a 2 night stay with our 3 year old. The family room was a great size for us, lovely big bathroom with Lots of hotwater and lovely smellies. Plenty of fluffy towels too. The family room we booked had a good sized bath (room 5) is on the... More

I stayed with my boyfirend for a weekend break and we were warmly welcomed on arrival and informed of the local attractions in a really helpful manor. The guesthouse is perfectly located around a 5-10 minute walk from all the places you want to get to in York's centre. There is no double glazing, however, so ear plugs are a... More

This was a really nice B&B. We were warmly welcomed by William who even offered to park our car! and shown to our room (#5). This is a recently decorated room which was larger than we expected with a double and single bed and full separate bathroom, both of which were really clean. Breakfasts were great and filling and top... More

Was a lovely stay here, we were only here 1 night but had a nice clean room at the back of the guest house. The owner was very friendly and helpful, he told us about things to see in York and how to get around. The full english breakfast was nice and filling. The only negative was that the shower... More

Thank you so much for your review, it is greatly appreciated. We are just sad you had to suffer a tepid shower but thank you for drawing our attention to the problem. We look forward to seeing you again one day! Best wishes Jane More

I just wanted to say that I've stayed in hotels in Sydney, San Francisco, Brussels, Stockholm, New York, Madrid, Barcelona and many more places in the last 12 months. In terms of the value for the stay, they all completely suck compared to Monkgate Guest House. I was well looked after and had a lovely cosy room on a cold... More

Just right for a city centre break - 5 mins walk from the Minster, includes parking free of charge (slightly odd arrangeemnt, but just leave your keys with William and he moves the cars around with no fuss.) Lovely breakfast. We were lucky having a room at the rear of the guesthouse which was very quiet, had a massive bathroom... More

We were 2 couples visiting York for the first time. We looked at the previous reviews and were not disappointed. From time of arrival until leaving nothing was too much trouble. William & Jane made our stay really comfortable. William gave us a map and suggestions of where to visit to make the most of our stay. Rooms were comfortable,... More

I stayed at the Monkgate Guest House for two weeks when I first moved to York. New to the city and new to the country I couldn't have picked a better place to start my UK journey! The warm atmosphere of the b&b, teddy bears in the family room, very friendly owners and never dissapointing full english breakfast really made... More

I'm not sure if I'm talking about the same place as everyone else but the address matches and believe me I really wish we could say such wonderful things. We found the decor very dated - not characterful and the way the lino in the bathroom didn't meet the sink was unique. The mattress on the double bed in the... More

Had a wonderful 4 days in York staying at the Monkgate. We got 3 nights for the price of 2, really reasonably priced. Room was lovely, charming, clean, most comfortable bed ever. Breakfast really nice and staff friendly and helpful. Ideal location to get to the centre of York. Couldn't have asked for more. What a great little find, which... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Monkgate Guest House is 200 years old and is only five minutes walk from York Minster and the city centre where you will find beautiful shops and restaurants and all York's attractions close to hand. The property was originally three Georgian cottages so it is cosy and rambling with the quaint features you would expect from an older property. We have two rooms on the ground floor and the other rooms are on the first floor accessed by a flight of stairs. Our breakfast room is warm and inviting and we provide a full, freshly cooked English breakfast with eggs cooked to your requirements alongside the other menu options. We have limited off street parking in a narrow driveway at the side of the house, you will be able to forget your car then and walk to all the amenities! We can however try to arrange more parking if necessary. Free wifi is availabe in the public rooms and most bedrooms. ... more   less
