26a Marygate is part of the conversion of the former York Post Office Club and has been beautifully done. This part of the building has just three two bedroom apartments, each one finished to an extremely high standard. The building is situated off Bootham on a quiet street, facing the historic ruins of St Mary's Abbey. First built in 1088 it is all that remains of one of the wealthiest and most powerful Benedictine monasteries in England.
Museum Apartment - is situated on the first floor of the building. Walking into the living area of this apartment is like walking into a page of an interior magazine, from the floor to ceiling kitchen units and the sleek breakfast bar, to the wonderfully stylish dining chairs and table - the designer has put a great deal of thought to both the comfort and enjoyment of the guest. The large windows ensure that the apartment is flooded with light. The light airy feeling is continued through the apartment with the high ceilings and light wood floors. The lounge area has comfortable, stylish seating and a large smart TV for those times when you just want to stay inside and just kick back and enjoy the surroundings.
There are two bedrooms in the apartment, the master bedroom has a kingsize bed that can be made up as a king or two single beds, just great for sinking into and recharging for the next day. There are fitted wardrobes that run the length of the bedroom, more than enough space to fit all the outfits that you want to bring with you for the numerous events that York has to offer. There is also a luxurious en suite, complete with a bath with shower over, double sinks and underfloor heating.
The second bedroom again has wall to wall storage and a wonderful double bed to sink into at the end of a very busy day of fun! The house bathroom serves this bedroom and has a walk in shower, again with underfloor heating.
There is dedicated onsite parking for the apartment.
This fantastic apartment is light, bright and incredibly stylish! Whether you are looking for a short holiday break, or a longer serviced let, this apartment is equipped with everything that you need and then some! Finished to a high standard and with bags of style - just perfect!

Quiet and great location.
Stays York are always the first choice when staying in York. We always recommend them to friends. Why pay more to the likes of booking.com. Id imagine this property would be uncomfortable for those who dont like hot summers as there is no air conditioning, two nice looking fans, but not up to the job, and you can not open any windows except for the small ones in the one of the bathrooms. There were a couple of house keeping issues that bugged me little bit, but overall, it was very clean. Two of the three frying pans were not compatible with the induction hob. (I do like to cook ). Stays York responded positively to that. The bath is DEEP, but it was a struggle to push up out of it, sadly, with age, a struggle I couldnt manage, I needed to turn over, then kneel up, then exit. Lol.. A grab handle would have been helpfully. It has a great shower though. You will need to bring your own shampoo, conditioners, shower gel and bubble bath, as they are not provided. There is a push dispenser by the sink, but its not labelled up, so I assumed it was hand soap. TV. Youll need to watch via apps like bbc iplayer, itv player etc. it does have Netflix. Internet speed is fast. Beds are comfortable. Washing machine/dryer and dishwasher a doddle to use. (Bring your own powder, or liquid) Tip. The cutlery drawer is hidden within the plates drawer, or the pan draw, I cant remember which one. The Welcome bag is a nice touch. Overall, this and all the other stays York properties weve stayed in, are well presented, quality apartments. And to think, this apartment was only £60 per night more than a travelodge, and you get a two bedroom, two bathroom, large kitchen, dining table, and living room. A hallway for coats and footwear.

STAYS YORKLovely stay
Marygate Museum Apartment provides a lovely stay and is an interior designers delight. All provisions are high end. The main bed is comfy. Stays York Ltd staff was extremely accommodating and gave quick feedback to questions. I agree with other reviewers that instead of the gift basket, providing hand soap in kitchen, paper towels, tissues, laundry pods and other general everyday needs would have been better.
Great stay in the city
Had a marvellous stay in a beautiful apartment. Worked very well for us. Warm and comfortable and plenty of space Loved it
York Christmas
Ideal location with on site parking and a short walk to York rail station. Apartment would benefit from additional plates and cups - we were a party of 3 and there was only one large plate and the main oven hadnt been cleaned properly between guests. Beds were very comfortable. Welcome pack of goodies was a nice bonus. Would book again.
Great stay
Had a wonderful few days in York. Great apartment. Very central. Very spacious and had everything we needed. Only suggested would be a larger sofa and more comfortable chair in the living area. It is such a big space it could take larger and more comfortable furniture.
York Stays
Weve stayed here 3x now, normally the top floor when we come back to York, this time the middle. All is great, just wished the kitchen/living room had a window that opened for fresh air.
Family get together
The Marygate apartment was in a perfect location for our family get together, being close enough to walk from the station for a couple arriving by train, and providing safe parking for our car. It is a beautiful, spacious apartment with great facilities. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. A couple of negatives: 1, the shower in the second bedroom needs upgrading. The shower head itself was quite old and worn, and the shower tray tended to flood. 2, because we were there for a week, I needed to buy cleaning products for the bathrooms, including soap. It would be beneficial for renters to be provided with a selection of cleaning products, tissues, paper towels, extra toilet rolls ( only two were left in each bathroom)
great location.
great place if you just want to leave your car and you like nature as museum gardens is a lovely place to unwind also river walk very close.
Perfect place for a stay in York.
Great location and modern facilities. Stayed 9 nights. Very comfortable. Two issues requiring attention. Carpet is a trip hazard and stairs light goes out too soon.
Thank you for your feedback. Please be assured we will look into the issues you raised for future stays. We hope to see you back in York soon Kind regards Hannah Stays York
Hannah - Stays YorkGreat location but noisy and not comfortable
Museum Apartment is in a great location and the on site car parking is fantastic. The apartment itself is very modern but not at all cosy. The living area is spacious but would not be very comfortable for four people to sit relaxing. The kitchen is rather sparsely equipped - for example, just one tea plate! There was a lot of noise from the apartment above - just people walking around but possible amplified by the wooden floors?
Fabulous stay in Marygate!
Exceptionally clean, modern and excellent location in a quiet street. We had one maintenance issue that was dealt with PROMPTLY on a Sunday with regular follow up. We couldnt fault anything - a perfect and comfortable stay in York.
Very nice
Great location, easy on site parking. Good communication & very accommodating when we had a change of plans.
Beautiful
We loved the unit. Bright, clean and so walkable. We stayed an extra two nights.. total of 5 and never used our car
Excellent stay - would come again
Excellent property, great location, guaranteed parking spot - easy to find. Apartment itself very spacious, beds extremely comfortable.
A gem in Marygate
Having stayed in quite a few very good holiday lets in York I didn't think it was possible to get anything better - but our apartment in Marygate surpassed all expectations. The location is perfect to easily walk into York; access to a car parking space in York City Centre is an enormous bonus; but the real treat lay in the property itself. Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. We were visiting York with friends from London, we, having travelled from Edinburgh. Four adults in one apartment can feel tight but there was ample space for us all. We all loved it. The Stays staff have been super helpful before and on the day of our arrival. We didn't have any reason to contact them during their stay but I am fairly certain they would have been very helpful then also. This will definitely become our go to accommodation when we are in York. Highly recommend it to anyone who is thinking of booking.
Perfection
Stayed here with family for a few days while exploring York. Theres nothing negative to say about this flat. It was immaculately presented and perfect location to some amazing eateries and coffee shops. The onsite parking was an added benefit. We will definitely be back.
gateway to relaxation
A great place to stay warm comfortable to come back to after walking round York,s wonderful sights the museum gardens are a great way to start your day the flat had everything to keep you cosy it was good to know our car was safely tucked away as well as us we are happy with stays at York the only thing i would recommend is tin foil paper towel salt sugar instead of hamper but we are looking forward to going back next month thank you stays at York for a lovely stay. Patrick & Jean.
Great Stay
Excellent apartment and central location with parking. Modern apartment and appliances with a nice welcome pack provided.
Stunning apartment in great location but with poor internal climate
Stunning apartment in great location but with poor internal climate. Stunning apartment in terms of design, quality of materials and equipment, provisions. Great location close to a really beautiful park, the river, minster, shopping and the railway station. Poor internal climate as noted in a previous review. The air circulation system was not able to handle the high temperatures during our stay and the windows could not be opened which led to an unpleasant few days.
Fabulous apartment in ideal location
The apartment was spotless, great quality beds, lovely kitchen. Great location for exploring York, just a short walk across the Museum Gardens yet the apartment was very quiet and the parking was ideal. The only issue we had was that the windows did not open, all painted shut so it got quite stuffy. Cool air units were provided however it was a concern for fire safety. Also hardly any toilet roll provided and hand soap dispensers were all empty. Overall a wonderful apartment and we would love to stay again.
Marygate Review
Received advise from a friend to use Stays York to find accommodation in York. Met with Amanda (Manager) and she listened to our requirements and recommended Marygate apartments to us and arranged an inspection same day. Accommodation exceeds our expectations and requirements and my family and I are very happy and settled into York. We have extended our stay and have booked additional accommodation in Marygate for visiting family members next year. Highly recommend Stays York and Marygate Apartments, superb - top notch as the English say.
