Travellers praise Apartment 4 - The Kings for its exceptionally central York location and spacious, well-equipped apartment layout, noting comfortable furnishings and two bedrooms/two bathrooms, strong people-watching views, and generally high cleanliness alongside responsive, helpful host communication.
Access involves a steep stairway with no lift, and the key box is positioned low. While the lively setting can bring bar noise or early deliveries, double-glazed windows reduce it for many. A few guests mentioned appliance instructions could be clearer and that bedding quality varied. Expect a comfortable, self-catered stay in the heart of York.

The apartment was perfect in both cleanliness and very well equipped.The only drawback was the position of the key box it is too low down and difficult to be able to see the numbers on the pad.Delivery vans early morning deliveries to the shops beneath the apartment.

This is a lovely apartment right in the centre of York. The double glazing is good so noise from the street is minimised and we could sleep fine. The kitchen is well equipped so we could cook basic meals beyond just breakfast. comfortable lounge and dining area. beds are comfortable, shower pressure is good. washing machine works well and didn't shrink our clothes! only real drawback is that there is no lift and one fairly steep flight of stairs (though this is clearly stated) so I'd consider this if if travelling with a baby. Hosts were very responsive when we asked for a clothes airer and one was provided in less than 24 hours. overall an excellent stay and I would be very keen to stay here again next time we visit York.

Amazing location right in the centre of shops and restaurants. The shambles just a short walk away. Only 5 min walk from car park at monks bar. Spacious apartment with everything you need. Everything was perfect.

Wow, this property is bang smack in the middle of York City Centre, surrounded by shops, food places and cafes. In what appears to be a residential building. Very quiet and peaceful. Spacious interior. 2 Bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms, very comfortable seating in lounge, as are beds. Free WIFI was provided which was a nice touch and ideal for the kids. No parking, but you expect that when you realise how central this apartment is. Staff were great, kind and quick at responding. 10/10

The apartment was very clean and ideal location for York. The stairs to unit are very steep, insure you are able to carry your luggage up and down. The living room area is very comfortable and the people watching is fabulous. The management is super fast to respond to all questions. Couple of tips the keys are located walking distance away from front door and very low to the ground. Again make sure you are able to to get off low step. Lastly our tip would be short showers if more than one staying as the hot water can take long time to come back 2-3 hours if boosted. Otherwise lovely apartment

You can't get a more centrally located flat in York than this one. Loads of restaurants and shopping nearby and a pub across the street. The flat itself is nice and spacious. Great kitchen outfitted with everything you need and a washer/dryer. There's no lift to get to the flat and the stairs are narrow but otherwise a great stay.

Lovely apartment! Well equipped kitchen, comfy furnishings, cozy living area, big dining area and seating, and nice bathrooms! The apartment overlooks a very popular area near The Shambles ❤️ but still is quiet due to clever double glazed windows. While their listing says you need to climb stairs, FYI to anyone with mobility issues: if you can "do" stairs, just know the stairs are steep!...so be sure you're ok with that. Plus the apartment has a few small stairs within it. Only one suggestion to the lovely, wonderful hosts (they really were SO nice and helpful and responsive!!): for non-Brit guests who might not be familiar with how the electrics and appliances work, a "how to" section in the guest binder would be really great and probably save you some phone calls! lol Thank you SO much for a wonderful two-week stay and Christmas holiday!

The apartment was in a perfect location, walking distance to everything we wanted to see and do. Good sized apartment well appointed kitchen. Even though in was right in the midst of a pedestrian area the double windows made it really quiet. The street out front is closed to traffic for part if the day so a taxi might not be able to drop you off or pick you up at the front door. The stairs up to the apartment are steep so not suitable for anyone with mobility issue or trouble carrying luggage. Would definitely stay here again.

We had an excellent visit to York. The Kings Apartment is wonderfully located for exploring York. The apartment was very clean and all appliances were in great working order. Beds were comfortable and the two full bathrooms were modern and extremely clean. Would highly recommend to future visitors of this wonderful English City.

Location was very convenient. Decor and layout of condo great. Master bath smells of mold, shower had some mold in grout. Bathroom faucet drips. Helpful if there were instructions how to use washer/dryer. Couldn't get clothes dry. Would have been nice to know ahead of time that only 1 roll of tp would be provided, if more needed we would need to purchase. ( Not used to that in the US) If the mold would be removed from shower this condo is a nice place to stay.

This is a positive review with some suggestions for improvement. The location was fantastic, in the middle of the most interesting area. There was plenty of room and the facilities were excellent. Two main downsides. The bedding was not up to the standard of the rest of the apartment- the mattress protector was too small and there was only a bare sheet over part of the mattress. And the duvet was very lumpy - the filling was in clumps and some bits were bare. Difficult to understand when the rest of the furnishings were of high quality. Secondly there was a lack of accessible instructions- for example as to how to switch on the heated towel rail to warm up the cold bathroom. It was not at all obvious how to work the hob in the kitchen, we had to use trial and error. We later found instructions in the manual in a drawer in the living room but it should not be necessary to go hunting and read complicated instructions. Once we worked out how to use everything the flat had all we needed for a very comfortable stay. We loved having such great views over the surrounding streets so we could see what was going on. And we were so near to the places we wanted to see, we could just pop back when we wanted to.

My mom and I stayed at The King's 2 bedroom corner apartment at the end of May 2025. I loved everything about this apartment (except the stairs, but that was very minor). It was spacious, clean, and honestly one of the best living room furniture set-ups that I've ever stayed at in a rental unit (comfy recliner chairs and couch), including in the US (where I'm from) and around the world. The people watching was amazing, and the double glazed windows made it very quiet. The 2 steps to go into each bedroom was odd, but just a quirk of the place. Washing machine worked well (with very good instructions provided by property management team). I was glad the en-suite bedroom had no steps between bedroom and bathroom for my mom. Overall, it was extremely comfortable, excellent location, and I look forward to staying again in the future.

Spacious, comfortable rooms with a bright living area, comfy beds, and two bedrooms with two bathrooms; many enjoy the views for people-watching. Double-glazed windows help with street noise, though some report late-night bar noise or early deliveries.

We had a great stay in this very comfortable and cosy apartment right in the city centre. It was a perfect size for our family of 4 with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The bright living area with the windows onto the street below were perfect for people watching. The location was great, but it was noisy on the Friday night with music from a bar opposite the road until late into the evening. And on the Monday morning the food delivery trucks came and parked right outside the windows which was also a bit noisy. This aside, it was a perfect location to explore York and I would definitely stay here again.

The apartment was in perfectly central to all activities and about a 30 second walk from the Shambles. The space was plenty big for our family of four and clean/comfortable.

The kitchen is well equipped so we could cook basic meals beyond just breakfast. comfortable lounge and dining area. beds are comfortable, shower pressure is good. washing machine works well and didn't shrink our clothes! only real drawback is that there is no lift and one fairly steep flight of stairs (though this is clearly stated) so I'd consider this if if travelling with a baby. Hosts were very responsive when we asked for a clothes airer and one was provided in less than 24 hours. overall an excellent stay and I would be very keen to stay here again next time we visit York.

Lovely apartment! Well equipped kitchen, comfy furnishings, cozy living area, big dining area and seating, and nice bathrooms! The apartment overlooks a very popular area near The Shambles ❤️ but still is quiet due to clever double glazed windows. While their listing says you need to climb stairs, FYI to anyone with mobility issues: if you can "do" stairs, just know the stairs are steep!...so be sure you're ok with that. Plus the apartment has a few small stairs within it. Only one suggestion to the lovely, wonderful hosts (they really were SO nice and helpful and responsive!!): for non-Brit guests who might not be familiar with how the electrics and appliances work, a "how to" section in the guest binder would be really great and probably save you some phone calls! lol Thank you SO much for a wonderful two-week stay and Christmas holiday!

The apartment was very clean and ideal location for York. The stairs to unit are very steep, insure you are able to carry your luggage up and down. The living room area is very comfortable and the people watching is fabulous. The management is super fast to respond to all questions. Couple of tips the keys are located walking distance away from front door and very low to the ground. Again make sure you are able to to get off low step. Lastly our tip would be short showers if more than one staying as the hot water can take long time to come back 2-3 hours if boosted. Otherwise lovely apartment

This is a positive review with some suggestions for improvement. The location was fantastic, in the middle of the most interesting area. There was plenty of room and the facilities were excellent. Two main downsides. The bedding was not up to the standard of the rest of the apartment- the mattress protector was too small and there was only a bare sheet over part of the mattress. And the duvet was very lumpy - the filling was in clumps and some bits were bare. Difficult to understand when the rest of the furnishings were of high quality. Secondly there was a lack of accessible instructions- for example as to how to switch on the heated towel rail to warm up the cold bathroom. It was not at all obvious how to work the hob in the kitchen, we had to use trial and error. We later found instructions in the manual in a drawer in the living room but it should not be necessary to go hunting and read complicated instructions. Once we worked out how to use everything the flat had all we needed for a very comfortable stay. We loved having such great views over the surrounding streets so we could see what was going on. And we were so near to the places we wanted to see, we could just pop back when we wanted to.

Location
Exceptionally central, steps from The Shambles and King's Square, making most sights, shops, and restaurants easily walkable. The pedestrian setting can limit direct vehicle drop-off and may bring some street noise, though many still found it manageable.

We had an excellent visit to York. The Kings Apartment is wonderfully located for exploring York. The apartment was very clean and all appliances were in great working order. Beds were comfortable and the two full bathrooms were modern and extremely clean. Would highly recommend to future visitors of this wonderful English City.

We had a great stay in this very comfortable and cosy apartment right in the city centre. It was a perfect size for our family of 4 with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The bright living area with the windows onto the street below were perfect for people watching. The location was great, but it was noisy on the Friday night with music from a bar opposite the road until late into the evening. And on the Monday morning the food delivery trucks came and parked right outside the windows which was also a bit noisy. This aside, it was a perfect location to explore York and I would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely amazing stay! Right in the center of everything! It was great to start the day with coffee from across the street and if we bought goodies, it was very convenient the apartment was always down the street.

Wow, this property is bang smack in the middle of York City Centre, surrounded by shops, food places and cafes. In what appears to be a residential building. Very quiet and peaceful. Spacious interior. 2 Bedrooms and 2 Bathrooms, very comfortable seating in lounge, as are beds. Free WIFI was provided which was a nice touch and ideal for the kids. No parking, but you expect that when you realise how central this apartment is. Staff were great, kind and quick at responding. 10/10

This was a perfect location for us, with it been right in the middle of the city centre, everything was literally on our doorstep and made our plans so much easier as everything was so accessible

The apartment was in a perfect location, walking distance to everything we wanted to see and do. Good sized apartment well appointed kitchen. Even though in was right in the midst of a pedestrian area the double windows made it really quiet. The street out front is closed to traffic for part if the day so a taxi might not be able to drop you off or pick you up at the front door. The stairs up to the apartment are steep so not suitable for anyone with mobility issue or trouble carrying luggage. Would definitely stay here again.

STAY HERE. DON'T EVEN CONSIDER ANYPLACE ELSE! This was the best rental I have ever experienced! The unit was very large. The keys were in a nearby lockbox. The unit had 2 good sized bedrooms, one with a full bath. Beds were comfortable. There was a second full bath. The living space had a couch and a chair. The kitchen was large. Everything looked like it had recently been redone and the design was very modern. Great kitchen with new appliances. Very clean. The location was the best in town. In the heart of the Shambles, right outside a public square with plenty of restaurants nearby. Only about 2-3 blocks from the Minster. about a 15 minute walk to the train station. I had a few questions which I texted to the manager and got a quick response each time. I gave this property 5 stars. If I could give it 10 stars I would have. Just an excellent place to stay.

This accommodation was outstanding. Notwithstanding issues surrounding car access (nobody's fault, but I don't think we quite realised that most of the city doesn't do cars!) the location was perfect. Literally in the city centre. Surrounded by life, history, people, etc. It's the most comfortable accommodation we had in six weeks of travel -- largely because it was as it was advertised! We will certainly be back. Many thanks!

This place is in the perfect location. Lovely, updated apartment with large rooms and beautiful windows. Well appointed kitchen. Large bedrooms, nice bathrooms. Plan on bringing your own shampoo. A washer /dryer THAT WORKS! Great restaurants and sights close by. Highly recommend. The stairs are a bit treacherous.
