The Bar Convent Guest House

Building and location are excellent! Really good option in the area and great value for money.

I assumed a continental breakfast would include cold meats, cheese, pastries etc. but it included only toast and cereal which was a little disappointing.

Room was clean and comfortable and the air conditioning was an unexpected bonus. Lovely continental breakfast. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Great location to be able to walk to any of the sites in York. Room very clean and well decorated.

If you book through Booking.com a cooked breakfast isn't included, whereas if you book directly it is! This was a not a nice surprise and I don't recollect it being clear when I booked. The ordinary breakfast was adequate.

Good location near the train station. Interesting history. Friendly staff.

The lift broke on the first day of my stay and I was told it would be down for a week. My room was on the 3rd floor. With bad knees, I could not easily navigate the stairs and only went up and down once a day - I just stayed in my room in the evening rather than have to face the stairs. Checking out was a miserable experience because there was no one in reception to help me with my bags. I had to turn my largest piece of luggage on its back and slide it down the steps behind me. The property might always want to consider refreshing some of its linens/towels. I am sorry to write something negative about this very interesting property and its friendly staff but leaving patrons to muddle through without an elevator really negatively impacted my stay .
