Barbican House is a 4-stars guest house set in a late Victorian building, just 10 minutes’ walk from York city centre and university and overlooking the medieval city walls. It offers en suite accommodation, free WiFi and a self-catering apartment.

Our stay at Barbican House was amazing. Adorable furnishing and room decor (not only in the room itself but in the house in general as well) made the atmosphere comfortable and cosy. Everything was clean and quiet and our host was very helpful as well. A great place to stay in York. I will be back!!

    Great location, about 15 minutes to the city center. Free parking was really useful. We had big room with king size bed, it was comfortable and huge. There was clean, quiet, and cosy, only the birds were singing outside the window in the garden. It was amazing! Hosts are lovely and friendly. Breakfast was simple but fresh and healthy.

    Apartment is in a great location, saw a few reviews of people saying it was further from the city centre than expected, however there is a bus stop right outside the apt (number 1) which is maximum 10 min journey into York centre which was great and cheap. Host was very quick to help with a few missing things from the apartment and got them dropped off to us.

    Great location, with easy walk into the City and also very close to the University to see our daughter. The house is down a quiet street and the room and en suite were immaculate and a very good size. Ashley was also a great host. We will definitely be back.
