Fabulous Ground Floor Apartment

★ 5/5
14 June 2026

It’s in an excellent location for the City, Cathedral, Shambles and all the other tourist hotspots. The apartment itself was very clean and well laid out with access to the front and back of the property. Added advantage of having its own parking space too.

We love the location just behind the city wall. Very central to Micklegate, but quiet at night.

Great central location. The hot water system needs looking at. Only works on the boost and not on the timer, so no hot water on arrival. Bathroom drain smell and no sink plug on arrival. Otherwise everything great, good selection of crockery and glasses, clean and comfortable beds ( although blind in small bedroom does not block out the outdoor lights that are on all night). We did not have hot water for first 12 hours and boiled the kettle to rinse ourselves in the shower. We phoned management, which advised to heat it with the immersion/ boost button. Also advised of the missing sink plug and bad drain smell. Generally had a great comfortable stay after this.

Hello, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback, we really appreciate it. The issues with the hot water/bathroom have been passed on to the maintenance team to investigate further, thank you for bringing them to our attention and I apologise that you had to deal with this during your stay. Kind regards, Stays York

The roar of the white paint, the smell of the passers-by.

On entering for the first time, the overwhelming impression was the smell of paint. The whole place had been painted white all over including all of the woodwork. Unfortunately a strong smelling gloss had been used. A water based low odour paint would have been much more agreeable. Within two days I developed a bad cold which I couldn’t shake off. With the time of year that could have been coincidental of course. Ventilating the flat was compromised by the design of the windows which included floor to ceiling glass doors which couldn’t be left open in a ground floor flat. A triumph of design over function. An additional tilt and turn window would have helped. The shower was easy to use but of the overhead type. Not my favourite. It wasn’t obvious where my rubbish should go. But now for the good bits. The heating was very simple to use. The cooker likewise. I liked the washing machine, the dishwasher and the microwave. Three big ticks. The kitchen was very well supplied with crockery, utensils and pans etc. Good supply of towels and bedding. Handy for shopping at Waitrose if you can afford it.

The customer service from yourselves was outstanding, unfortunately not from the property owner. Under the circumstances we had a relaxing stay and will use you again in the future to stay in another property.. We had a very close family bereavement to which the property owner refused a date change .

Nice apartment in great location

Very nice apartment, clean, comfortable and well appointed within easy walk of York town centre. Knocking off 2 stars on comfort as 1-shower has no hand rail, fine for me but an access issue for my elderly mother 2-it would be nice if there was somewhere in the bathroom to leave your toiletries 3-allocated parking bay would have been a nightmare if all bays are full (would have had to reverse out of the car park with the exit keypad on the wrong side of the car as no room to turn the car), luckily during my stay the car park was empty so wasn’t a problem for us.

A great base in York

This is the second time we've stayed in this building but the first time in this apartment. It is in a great location for exploring the city and we love the proximity to the wall. The apartment is well equipped, well maintained and just a lovely place to stay. We also really like that you get a proper parking space rather than a permit too.

Clean, newly refurbished flat near city centre, 1 double and 1 single room

Recently refurbished, clean, quiet flat close to city centre. Second bedroom was smaller than depicted on the website, with the pull out bed erected there was only half a metre space between the 2 beds which were against each wall so really not big enough to be a twin bedroom, ok for smaller kids perhaps but a bit tight for my 2 teens! Ideal as a single bedroom however. Flat was well equipped with iron, ironing board, hairdryer and all kitchen utensils required. Towels, sheets etc. all good quality, new and clean. Kitchen immaculately clean and new, likewise the bathroom which had a good, powerful shower and constant supply of hot water. Sofa comfortable and large enough for family of 4. The only thing missing was a clothes dryer. Stays York were very responsive and helpful. We had limited need to contact them since all instructions, payment etc. clear and efficient. I have marked down for value for money since the flat was smaller than expected. We however had a lovely stay in York. Thank you.

“The apartment was conveniently located and very good quality throughout. Beds were comfortable and heating was working perfectly so nights were all warm and cosy. I would say it exceeded our expectations so 100% recommended for a family holiday. Our children loved walking around the city walls (literally outside of the house)!”

Really enjoyed our stay - would happily stay there again. The apartment was spacious enough for a family of four and felt exceptionally clean. It was also located in a relatively quiet part of the city but we found it easy to walk to the main attractions that we wished to see during our stay.

The property was in a very good location just inside the City walls and everything was in walking distance. All the furnishings were very good, comfortable beds and nice settee. However the 10.5 tog duvet was a bit over the top for the time of year. The fourth bed hadn’t been made up as requested but once we contacted StaysYork they sent someone within an hour to make it up. The secure parking was definitely a bonus. We would be quite happy to stay at the property again.
