“Decent sized room in convenient location.”

7.0

31 Dec 2024

Location is easy to reach from York Station. Room was good size, and quiet (apart from someone clomping along corridor around 1am) even though property is on main road, and warm enough on chilly December night. Kitchen facilities are helpful (I was carrying some Christmas groceries, which I was able to put in fridge overnight).

The Bar Convent is in a great location, within 5-10 min walking distance of the city centre. My room was very clean and comfortable, there was no traffic noise and I slept really well. The continental breakfast was lovely and the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Thankyou for a very comfortable and enjoyable stay!

The location is excellent, around a 5 minute walk from the train station. Recently refurbished and wonderful staff. A very comfortable bed and a stones throw to the York walls and into York itself.
