Romley Guest House  

A wonderful example of American hospitality in a British setting. Bruce is a West Coast American married to a British woman who runs this guest house with warmth, enthusiasm, attention to detail and and the big hearted, genuine friendliness more commonly associated with the American Mid-West (a generation or two ago ..). Rooms are small but tidy, well equiped (good mattresses), the small items (coffee, cookies, towels etc) in generous supply. Very generous(English) breakfasts ... don't miss the Alsacan waffle.

Located in a non-descript area, a 5 minutes walk to the city walls (outside) and the romantiscim of this medieaval city and a good 25 - 30 minutes from the minster (a small stretch by London stanards), but then if you dislike walking, York isnt for you ..

Charming host, wonderful breakfast, beautiful room, great location. Very much enjoyed our stay there!

The atmosphere is great, thanks to the friendliness of the hosts.

There was a warm and friendly welcome with introduction to facilities. Times for breakfast were ideal. The host was attentive, pleasant and helpfull and knowlegeable about the buses, taxis etc. Breakfast was fabulous with cereal and toast followed by a full english and then "Alaskan Waffles" for afters which certainly set you up for the day. The trip was to celebrate my grandson's 12th birthday and Bruce, the hotelier, gave him a gift and "champagne" at breakfast time. This was the first time my grandson had stayed in a hotel and this made a big impression on him, it's something he will remember for a long time. The bedroom was a little small but extremely clean with tv and tea making facilities. The beds were comfortable and extra pellows and bedding was stored in the room so you could use it without having to go and ask for it. I would have preferred a separate shower but the shower was over the bath and was not easily accessible enough for me having some mobility problems but they may have had more suitable shower facilities had I asked. The rooms were warm and the area was quiet. We had a very enjoyable stay, nothing was too much trouble and we would certainly book again in the future. Donna and Jordan

Peaceful guest house,friendly staff,nice location,good breakfast,nice room

single beds, lack of en suite

Bruce, who runs it, is the nicest character, he will put the grumpiest person in the best mood. He cooks an amazing huge breakfast, its an experience in itself. we were very well looked after, so relaxed and cosy. It was such a lovely welcoming environment that just made our stay perfect. Thanks Bruce!!

Bruce, the proprietor is the friendliest, most informative and genial of hosts. With his wife Rosemary, they offer a great B & B accommodation in York. His local knowledge is really informative, and you know from the very start that you are in for a great weekend. The full english breakfast comes with multiple choices and with added extra !!! The Great Alaskan Waffle !! A wonderful experience ,also the Choice of "Ultimate hot chocolate" but not for those watching their weight !!!

I found the flight of stairs a small challenge, as I have some difficulty with stairs, but on the whole, It is manageable for a limited mobility person. Buy having requested a low floor. That is what we got

The hospitality of the hotel staff really impressed me. There was great surprise in breakfast. Excellent service and reasonable price.

It is not inside the city wall.

Well appointed for the city centre. Friendly host.

This is a decent hotel and the owner is very nice and kind.

Staying at Romley Guest house is a wonderful experience - is a place that transforms in a home away from home - the owner and host Bruce will make you smile and will give you the insider information about York and how to make your stay there unforgetable. The house more than 100 years old will make you feel the city vibe even more . The thumbs up for Bruce and Romley GH - we had an wonderful stay there !

Owner navigated us to hotel over phone, very helpful regarding local attractions. Room was small but comfortable and clean.
