Fabulous! Tony & Diana - who run the property - were delightful and incredibly helpful. Rooms are beautifully decorated and, for once, are the same size in real life as they are in the publicity photos!
Very handy location: our car remained in the parking area right in front of the hotel for the duration of our stay and we walked into town every day.
Breakfast is included. There is a great choice and it is all cooked to perfection.
Would recommend without the slightest hesitation.

Great place in York
The property is quirky and it shows that the owners have taken great care to chose every item in the decoration. It has lots of personality and it’s friendly and quiet. We had a lovely stay.
The owners cook breakfast for the guests every morning, we were very impressed.
The hotel uses an app where you can choose your breakfast options, and there is a lot of information in it. Our stay was very swift.

Great 2 night stay, slight issue with Expedia which Tony sorted out for us swiftly, great service and a fantastic room, luxurious pillows and bedding/mattress so slept so well and didn’t hear any outside noise. The room has loads of technology if you want to use it. The aircon was a great extra and was lovely and quiet.The breakfast was really good, loads of choice and quality food. I recommend this to anyone staying in York. Having stayed in hundreds of hotels and B&Bs through my work I can honestly say this is one of the Best ! A real credit to the owners. Thank you Martyn and Fina :)

We had a lovely stay in the Tower Guest House. The room was very clean and well appointed. Our hosts, Diana and Tony, were very gracious and helpful with sharing dining options and sights to see. It was also very convenient to order our breakfast using their app and the food came out hot and delicious. I very highly recommend staying at the Tower Guest House. We plan to return on our next holiday to York.

Short mid-week stay to take in the city of York and surrounding areas. The guest house was immaculate and the room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The guest house was well positioned within one mile walking distance into the city centre. There are a variety of breakfasts on offer, but the full English breakfast was superb. Ordering of breakfasts and mealtimes, temperature control of room and other facilities were all available through the Tower Guest House app.
