A small seven-room guest house on Monkgate in York, offering quiet, clean rooms and breakfast within walking distance of the city centre.
About City Guest House
City Guest House occupies a modest townhouse setting on Monkgate, with just seven rooms giving it the feel of a small, personally run establishment rather than a large hotel. The scale means a quieter, more familiar stay, with staff on hand around the clock via 24 hour reception and concierge services.
Rooms are kept clean and calm, and breakfast is a genuine highlight, cooked fresh each morning and included as part of the stay. Guests also have use of a garden, free WiFi and luggage storage, useful for those arriving early or leaving late. Note that there is no parking available on site, so this suits visitors arriving on foot or by public transport.
The location on Monkgate puts York Minster and the National Railway Museum within reach, and the city centre itself is an easy walk away. Nearby pubs, restaurants and other eateries mean evenings out require little planning, and the surrounding streets offer plenty of entertainment options besides.
What guests say
We stayed here in December while visiting the Christmas markets and had a lovely experience. The B&B is in a great location, very close to the city centre and easily within walking distance. Julie and Allan were fantastic hosts – so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating throughout our stay. The room was spotless and very comfortable, and the breakfast was amazing with plenty of choice. Great price for such a brilliant location. We felt very well looked after and would highly recommend staying here.

Fantastic stay, it’s hard not to notice the care and attention Julie and Allan pays to this wonderful place. They are such thoughtful and considerate hosts. The room is clean, cozy and offers some thoughtful touches you don’t often see these days - like a list of recommendations and sewing kit! The bed is comfy and the decor is lovely. It’s much warmer than the typically sterile hotel rooms. The breakfast is also very mindfully served, with personalised cooked breakfast as well as continental options. It was more than I could have asked for. My trip to York was especially memorable thanks to my stay here.
