We absolutely loved our stay at No. 1! The hotel is beautiful, warm, and inviting. The rooms were clean and cozy. The staff were very kind and accommodating. We also enjoyed the spa and restaurant (Pearly Cow). We weren’t informed about the pantry when we checked in, so make sure you ask about it if you stay.

The location of the property is a 15 min walk from train station and a 10 min walk into town. Very accessible. Quiet and safe surroundings. The main positive of this hotel is the staff - friendly, polite and knowledgeable. Great bartenders and a lovely room to sit and drink. I would recommend the restaurant - food was great. Def a place I would stay at next time I’m in York.

Lovely hotel with quirky decor. A real gem and within easy walking distance of the station and city centre. Great that the staff will pick up your luggage from the station on arrival and it was in our room when we arrived. Afternoon tea was wonderful and we loved the pantry and record player in our room. A great place to stay.

A wonderful Hotel just slightly away from the centre of York, but very, very walkable from the station and anywhere you might like to visit. The staff were engaging, wonderfully helpful, the room was perfect and I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again in the future. Other touches like the "Pantry" and convenient onsite parking made it a real joy to stay.

All staff very professional and friendly. Great breakfast. Very ecclectic property with many stairs and winding ways (seven fire doors from lift to room !)Lights in room very difficult to sort. No functional mirror in bathroom. Coffee machine in room didn’t work.

Loved the unique features - a free snack pantry (sweets, drinks, fruit etc.), traditional record player in each room and records to pick and choose from, quirky but tasteful decorations. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable, clean, spacious bedrooms and bathrooms with easy to use push button bath/shower (no trying to work out which knob or lever to push or pull!), very comfortable underfloor heating in the bathroom. Lovely, comfortable lounge and bar and excellent restaurant.

I’ve stayed in their sister hotel No42 in Margate a couple of times and it’s excellent. Well No1 York did not disappoint it was beautiful friendly and luxurious! I love this little group of hotels and can’t recommend highly enough! One rue of thumb for me with hotels is how much the staff are invested and seem proud to work there and they do in spades here. Just fabulous, I’ll be back.

Loved our stay at guesthouse no 1 in York. Especially loved the help yourself pantry and the record player. It’s been a long time since we laid in bed listening to records. Perfect stay!

If you’re staying in York, seriously—stop searching. This place is a gem. My partner and I were initially a bit unsure because the building looks quite old from the outside, but we were quickly blown away by the attention to detail inside. The room was thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed and more—nice amenities, a turntable for some cozy vinyl vibes, and a pantry area with a great selection of snacks and drinks. The shower had surprisingly good pressure (which we really appreciated), and everything was spotless. Housekeeping came by daily to freshen things up and restock, which made the whole stay feel really well cared for. All in all, it was such a lovely stay—comfortable, charming, and way beyond what we expected.
