This is a quaint period property that is privately run. The host was very helpful and nothing was too much bother. Would certainly stay there again. ##### NIGEL Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Louise 24 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Cosy weekend away Our host Stavros was an excellent host from start to finish.

Can’t speak for other rooms. But my room in particular was on the top floor, was really small and had a detached private bathroom that was also small and inconvenient. Although the bathroom situation was disclosed, the tight spaces and inconvenient access were not. I also needed to leave very early and made the room available for most of my stay and wasn’t offered even part of the payment back. I realize that’s policy. But some flexibility considering the very early departure would have been nice. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wolfgang 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sehr gut geführtes Gäste Haus mit Parkmöglichkeit direkt vor dem Haus in einer Sackgasse. 15 min ins Zentrum.

I was not the fault of the guest house they said they hotel.com would let them change it! Also after a 2-1/2hour drive we asked if we could use a toilet and where told we had to use the one in town! Other then that room was comfort and clean. Breakfast was amazing and where very attentive! ##### Kay Stayed 1 night in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### George 6 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### The sycamore guesthouse If you want a good place to stay in York this is the place .hosts very helpful and friendly they cannot do enough for you the rooms are spotless and the breakfast is great it will set you up for the day. ##### George Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### DarrellandMary 30 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This little hidden gem is just outside the walls of the old city of York, yet is walking distance to all the historic sites and to the train station.
