St. Raphael Guest House

We had a lovely stay here. The staff were wonderful and accommating, gave us tips on places and restaurants to go to. Its only a short walk to the centre and to the riverside - extremely convenient. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of options and fresh bread each morning - 3 different kinds! Downsides - The walls were thin and on our last night we could hear the room next to us snoring. Also we had a problem with parking where all spaces were taken due to an event so we had to drive out of the centre to a pub nearby for a couple hours and wait and hope there was space when we got back which luckily there was 1 space. Overall a wondeful stay and we will be back.

Great location with parking. Friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Unfortunately some other guests were noisy throughout the night

Just one night stay for the races. Parking simple and room very spacious. Highlight was the local bread available for breakfast. Top banana.

A fantastic location with very friendly, helpful staff. The price was beyond competitive considering the parking and breakfast were included. The only negative would be that the towels were a little fusty but overall a great stay and i would definitely book again if i was visiting york.

Easy as with booking through expedia. Instructions for parking very ckear. Parking and breakfast included. Very quiet area but only a short walk to york minster. Staff amazingky lovely. Clean comfortable quiand reasonable. Definitely recommend

The property offered good value for money, was 5 minutes walk from the Minster and city centre. Parking was free outside the place and the staff were attentive and polite. The carpet in our room had a few coffee stains by each bedside table, the bed was very comfy though and the room was quiet. We would definitely book to come again. The dining room could benefit from some music at breakfast time to break the silence. And maybe some plug-ins to freshen up the hallway. Apart from that, it was good!

Lovely guest house within easy walking distance of York, it's sites and the Christmas Market. Parking was available nearby. Danny and the staff were very friendly, knowledgeable of the area and always willing to help. The choice and quality of food available for breakfast was excellent. The rooms were very spacious and welcoming and the beds were very comfy. Will return and would definitely recommend.

Loved our stay in the Ebor Suite. Quiet and secluded, with a bit more space and a dedicated parking spot too. Easy walk from York centre and the breakfast should not be missed. Lots to chose from and the bread was delicious. We would definitely book again if we return to York.

Lovely guest house which is half a mile walk from city centre. Very nice area. We were on 2nd floor. Lovely clean and comfortable room. Good breakfast with plenty of choice. Parking was reserved for us and lucky to find a space just around the corner. Friendly and helpful staff. Would recommend and would definitely stay here again if we come back to York.

Great stay. Limited times for breakfast but actually worked out well for us. Parking was great, would just have been good to know before arrival to avoid us having to more car after check in, great to have free parking all the same. Hotel in great location for town centre

Very friendly and clean place ..

Very friendly helpful staff and instructions before arrival and during my stay. Clean and tidy room. Walls not sound proof so spent the night listening to a neighbour snoring unfortunately but very comfortable bed. Carpet was vacuumed but could do with a shampoo. Excellent breakfast. Tea and coffee making facilities and nice toiletries. Thank you.

Room was clean, staff were lovely and breakfast was good too.

A very nice and very tidy B&B! The location was perfect for us - we were able to walk all over the old town and it was an easy walk from the train station. Super comfy beds and nice towels. It is an older townhouse with several floors, so no elevator- but that was expected. The hot English Breakfast was very good!

Lovely rooms, very clean, TV kinda in wrong place and high up. Walls a bit thin ie could easily hear other people. Breakfast very good and friendly staff

Friendly people, very clean property, convenient location.

Lovely place to stay. Clean, warm and welcoming. Good choice on breakfast cooked well and accommodating. Ideal location only 10 min walk to the walls.

Great location with parking. Friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Unfortunately some other guests were noisy throughout the night

Great welcome from Jamie, wonderful room (we chose the Ebor) as it gave that extra bit of space and would definitely return.

Great guest house, great staff, great location only negative was that we were just unlucky that the people staying in the next room were up at 5.00am chatting and had the TV on extremely loudly

Lovely rooms, very clean, TV kinda in wrong place and high up. Walls a bit thin ie could easily hear other people. Breakfast very good and friendly staff

Lovely location lovely room we stayed in. The pillows was slightly hard and the mattress was hard as well. Nice breakfast choice although on the full English there was no hash brown. This would have been a good point for me. Rooms are very hollow can hear everything from the next rooms. Lovely people very friendly and very polite.

Great place to stay within easy walking distance of the town walls. We booked the Ebor suite. It was comfortable and spacious. Staff were friendly and accomodating- especially when we needed to leave early.

I can only review our room named The Shambles. It was small, located in the roof space so a lot of the room had the roof slope cutting off the space available. There was tea and coffee provided but only 5 teabags on day 1 & 4 on day 2 also a minimal supply of uht milk cartons. The unit these were situated on was about 40cm high so you had to sit to brew up or bend over a long way. A small kettle took about 10mins to boil 2 cups worth of water There was one small low down bedroom type chair for two of us. The bathroom door was a sliding door with no rail at the bottom so it was impossible to open and close without it banging into the frame. The biggest problem for us was that the walls are very thin and the people in the two neighbouring rooms could be heard when going about their normal business. They disturbed us and I am sure we disturbed them. The bed and pillows were clean and comfortable. The breakfast is tasty but not plentiful, my portion of mushrooms consisted of one mushroom about 5cm in diameter, on the second day it consisted of two mushrooms! There is one DIY domestic toaster for up to 14 people! There is a full page, in great detail, in the guest information book informing guests how much they will charged if they damage anything! The guest house is well located for York's attractions being about ten minutes walk from the centre. All the staff were very friendly and helpful it is clean and warm, but it is not a cheap place, I would expect more for the money paid.

The B&B felt like home from home. Location 5/5. Staff very friendly. Good breakfast. Bread was too thick for our liking. Room was very clean. Had a parking space which was very convenient. We had one day where our room was missed for service but the team apologised profusely. On reflection, feel like we over spent on accommodation here in comparison to the B&B we stayed at earlier on in the week and it didn’t have the wow factor like the other one. On arrival we did receive lemon drizzle cake which was a lovely gesture and very welcoming.

Fantastic staff. Wonderful breakfast. Very nice quiet location

Walkable in to town, clean and roomy, good options for breakfast. Would have benefited from a message in advance of arrival with instructions for arrival but otherwise a good property.

Room was clean, staff were lovely and breakfast was good too.

Comfortable, clean room. Staff very friendly.

Lovely guest house within easy walking distance of York, it's sites and the Christmas Market. Parking was available nearby. Danny and the staff were very friendly, knowledgeable of the area and always willing to help. The choice and quality of food available for breakfast was excellent.

Awesome staff that went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Even made a call for us to the rental car place. Great breakfast and parking, both free/included. I think the pillows could be updated but the bed and room were all we needed. I highly recommend this property!

Words like charming, English, lovely, wonderful, great location best describe Saint Raphael Guest House. Even more, you must know the staff, especially the manager, Danny, are amazing. They take care of you, always helpful, bright, cheerful and knowledgeable. They can suggest everything from must-see places in York to fit your timetable to must-visit places for dinner, etc. By the way, breakfast is over the top!

A lovely, friendly place that really makes you feel at home! For the price the value for money is fantastic; decent size bedroom with en-suite (and a great shower!), free parking and a hearty breakfast with plenty of options. The location is great - roughly a 10 minute walk into town. Staff were all so helpful and gave lots of recommendations for things to do, plus we had home-made banana bread ready on arrival! I would definitely stay again :)

Great place to stay within easy walking distance of the town walls. We booked the Ebor suite. It was comfortable and spacious. Staff were friendly and accomodating- especially when we needed to leave early.

Enjoyed our stay at St Raphael Guest House. Very well located ...just a 7 - 8 minute walk to York Minster or York Museum or the theatre. Another few minutes and you are in the heart of the city. Only small gripe...shower enclosure is very small and a bit cramped. Otherwise can highly recommend.

Easy as with booking through expedia. Instructions for parking very ckear. Parking and breakfast included. Very quiet area but only a short walk to york minster. Staff amazingky lovely. Clean comfortable quiand reasonable. Definitely recommend

Great location for a walk into central York. Lovely guest house very comfortable. Will definitely return but book direct with owners.

Had a lovely stay at St Raphael in York. Friendly helpful staff and a fantastic breakfast. Room had everything we needed and was quiet and comfortable. Great position for walking to the various museums, river, pubs and restaurants.

Excellent breakfast and very nice atmosphere. Would return to this b&b in a heartbeat.

Loved waking up to the smell of freshly baking bread
