★★★★4-star hotel

York is one of our favourite northern getaways. And our home in this noble city is just a 10-minute walk from York Minster (the most uttered word on sight of which is ‘wow’). No. 1 York by GuestHouse is a Grade II Listed Regency townhouse of stately proportions and head-turningly good looks.

StayScore Analysis

Why this hotel scores 93/100

The No. 1 York by GuestHouse is best suited to travellers seeking a characterful, central York stay in a stately Regency townhouse. Ten minutes' walk from York Minster, it’s a strong pick for couples, history buffs and city-breakers who want to be within easy reach of museums, the river and independent shops while staying somewhere visually memorable. The Grade II‑listed building brings period proportions and a landmark feel, so it appeals more to guests after atmosphere and location than to those seeking a quiet modern box-hotel experience.
