Lovely hotel in a good location. The owners/staff were very polite and friendly. The room was compact with a small en-suite. the decor and fittings were somewhat tired for the cost paid but nontheless perfectly adequate.

It was an exceptional experience staying at the Barbican House. The Victorian-style interior design, the cozy bedroom, and the amazing breakfast all contributed to a memorable stay in York. We would like to thank Durga for his friendly gestures and helpful suggestions of hidden gems to visit during our stay. The location of the Barbican House is fantastic—it only takes 15–20 minutes to walk to most of the attractions. If you’re looking for a warm and characterful stay in York, the Barbican House is definitely an excellent choice.

We have just returned from a 2 night stay at the Barbican House guest house. On our arrival we were greeted by Durga who provided off street parking in the car park and then went through registration and payment formalities. He was extremely friendly and polite! Our room was cozy and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The bed and pillows allowed us a very comfortable nights sleep. Location was, it was perfect. A short walk to the city walls and then up Walmgate to the city centre. Back to the hotel for shower and change and then out out for a great time in York. There is a very nice Chinese Restaurant on the next block within about 50yds of the hotel. Breakfast was lovely. Durga provided a list of items we could choose from and when the were placed in front of us they were well cooked and well presented. Two nights stay was well worth the price and the location was perfect. A quick shout out to Durga’s military background. Ex Gurkha Soldier and therefore presentation was impeccable. We will be going back again.

What a beautiful property hosted by wonderful people. The hosts made us tremendously welcome and ensured we know what we needed to know about the local area. The breakfast was delicious and kept us going until teatime! The room was lovely and comfortable and very warm and had everything we needed. I highly recommend this property if you're looking for some time in York and also if you want to be able so also leave your car and walk everywhere. Unfortunately we had to head back home early on the Sunday so couldn't say goodbye or thank you but thank you so much for a wonderful stay
