Our beautiful room overlooked the city walls and gate. We had great beds and were within a short walk to the city center. Durga, the owner, ensured we had all that we needed, including a place to park. We would happily stay here again. ##### Jamillah ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 10 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful stay at Barbican House! Our stay at the Barbican House could have not been better! Sabina got in touch with us before our arrival to ask about our estimated arrival time and whether we required parking. Durga kindly welcomed us on our arrival and he suggested various places and restaurants to go to. In addition, there were many other additional recommendations in the guest book we found at the room we stayed in. Fantastic communication all the time! The room was spotless, very comfortable, and had everything we needed. In addition, the hotel is within walking distance to all the places we had time to visit during our short stay. We would have loved to try their breakfast as all reviews were extremely positive about it! Unfortunately, we had a very early event to attend both days, and sadly we had to miss it. If we ever come back to York, our first place to check will for sure be the Barbican House. Thanks ever so much, Durga and Sabina, we really had a wonderful time! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa 20 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely place Barbican House is lovely. Very comfortable bed and room was decorated very nicely. Breakfast with tea was wonderful ( you need to order the night before and it is an extra charge). Durga is lovely and even ordered a taxi for me to get to the airport. ##### Lisa Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pam 6 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This was a very cute bed and breakfast and the host was beyond helpful. I really can't say enough good things about him! We unfortunately were not able to have breakfast as they don't start serving until 9 and we needed to be on our way for the day by 9 :) The room was clean, although the bathroom could have been cleaner. Speaking of the bathroom, the shower was tiny. The shower in a travel trailer is bigger. If you are a larger individual, or if ladies want to shave their legs, not a chance. It is like being in a sardine can. The other item to note is the location. It is very conveniently located for walking to downtown to see the attractions, however, it is on a very busy intersection which was very loud and had bright lights all night from traffic. ##### Pam Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Etienne 26 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The hosts are super-friendly and attentive to all guests. My experience was excellent. The location is at a busy crossroads so there can be noise from traffic in the early hours. Fortunately the owners installed some fans which help distribute cooler air round the premises. ##### Etienne Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gina 18 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A real Gem We booked the Barbican House as we had tickets to see Paul Weller at the Barbican. From the minute we arrived they were so helpful. The room itself was spotlessly clean with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. We hadn't booked breakfast but decided to order as we arrived, the cost was £15 each per night, it was delicious with fresh fruit and cereal to start and then a full English with gorgeous bacon and sausages. Nothing was too much trouble for the host, he was so lovely. We had such a wonderful stay we didn't want to go home. Would definitely stay here again it's a gem of a place. Thank you again for your hospitality. ##### Gina Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn York by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-York.h8651.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton York Piccadilly](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-York.h67320076.Hotel-Information) > > [Jorvik House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Jorvik-House.h2471799.Hotel-Information) > > [No.1 by GuestHouse, York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Grange-Hotel.h11750.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis Styles York Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Ibis-York-Centre.h34311.Hotel-Information) > > [The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Queens-Hotel.h11021657.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crescent Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Crescent-Guest-House.h2244613.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-York-City-Center.h1005.Hotel-Information) > > [The Churchill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Churchill-Hotel.h1779789.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn York City Centre by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-York-City-Centre.h786908.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-York.h430141.Hotel-Information) > > [Judges Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Judges-Court.h8842842.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-York.h5388905.Hotel-Information) > > [Roomzzz York City](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Roomzzz-York-City.h40584198.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel du Vin & Bistro York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Vin-Bistro-York.h7730418.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Moxy-York.h36762017.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Indigo York by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hotel-Indigo-York.h11077351.Hotel-Information) > > [York Pavilion Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-York-Pavilion-Hotel.h8922.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-York-Marriott-Hotel.h687255.Hotel-Information) > > [Malmaison York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Malmaison-York.h60606604.Hotel-Information) > > [Clementine's Guest House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Clementines-Town-House-Hotel.h1501378.Hotel-Information) > > [The Milner York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Principal-York.h148.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hilton-York.h520445.Hotel-Information) > > [Middletons Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Middletons-Hotel.h792058.Hotel-Information) > > [Elmbank York, Tapestry Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Elmbank-Hotel-Lodge.h564409.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grand, York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Grand.h3697588.Hotel-Information) > > [The Minster Hotel York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Minster-Hotel-York.h1223344.Hotel-Information) > > [Wheatlands Lodge Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Wheatlands-Lodge-Hotel.h8183878.Hotel-Information) > > [Dean Court Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Dean-Court-Hotel.h7413.Hotel-Information) > > [Hocus Pocus Tiny Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hocus-Pocus-Themed-Accommodation.h69403139.Hotel-Information)
