Overall Ratings & Reviews St Raphael Guest House

We had a lovely stay here. The staff were wonderful and accommating, gave us tips on places and restaurants to go to. Its only a short walk to the centre and to the riverside - extremely convenient. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of options and fresh bread each morning - 3 different kinds! Downsides - The walls were thin and on our last night we could hear the room next to us snoring. Also we had a problem with parking where all spaces were taken due to an event so we had to drive out of the centre to a pub nearby for a couple hours and wait and hope there was space when we got back which luckily there was 1 space. Overall a wondeful stay and we will be back.

Great welcome from Jamie, wonderful room (we chose the Ebor) as it gave that extra bit of space and would definitely return.

Lovely location lovely room we stayed in. The pillows was slightly hard and the mattress was hard as well. Nice breakfast choice although on the full English there was no hash brown. This would have been a good point for me. Rooms are very hollow can hear everything from the next rooms. Lovely people very friendly and very polite.

Very friendly helpful staff and instructions before arrival and during my stay. Clean and tidy room. Walls not sound proof so spent the night listening to a neighbour snoring unfortunately but very comfortable bed. Carpet was vacuumed but could do with a shampoo. Excellent breakfast. Tea and coffee making facilities and nice toiletries. Thank you.

Enjoyed our stay at St Raphael Guest House. Very well located ...just a 7 - 8 minute walk to York Minster or York Museum or the theatre. Another few minutes and you are in the heart of the city. Only small gripe...shower enclosure is very small and a bit cramped. Otherwise can highly recommend.

Great place to stay in york, staff were lovely and amazing. Breakfast was amazing. My place to stay in york from now on. Manager was a lovely man, and his staff were perfect. Room was amazing and more than we needed. Great location for york city centre.

Lovely place to stay. Clean, warm and welcoming. Good choice on breakfast cooked well and accommodating. Ideal location only 10 min walk to the walls.

Lovely guest house within easy walking distance of York, it's sites and the Christmas Market. Parking was available nearby. Danny and the staff were very friendly, knowledgeable of the area and always willing to help. The choice and quality of food available for breakfast was excellent. The rooms were very spacious and welcoming and the beds were very comfy. Will return and would definitely recommend.

We chose to stay at St Raphael's after reading excellent reviews about the guest house, & every one was right! A very comfortable, clean room, with a powerful shower, towels, toiletries & tea/coffee etc provided. The cooked breakfast was always piping hot & perfectly cooked, & the freshly baked bread was delicious. The hosts were very attentive & also very knowledgeable about the area - the guest house is within a 10 minute walk of York minster, & given the amount of traffic, free parking during your stay is another bonus. Our room was called Stonegate, which is the first room at the top of the stairs. This is handy when carrying your case upstairs, but not so good when other guests traipse past rather noisily to their own rooms. Added to this, the house is old & creaks quite a lot, & other guests can be heard moving about, coughing etc. I have mentioned both good & not so good points about our stay, so that there are no surprises, but would add that we will happily revisit St Raphael's in future.

A fantastic location with very friendly, helpful staff. The price was beyond competitive considering the parking and breakfast were included. The only negative would be that the towels were a little fusty but overall a great stay and i would definitely book again if i was visiting york.

The property offered good value for money, was 5 minutes walk from the Minster and city centre. Parking was free outside the place and the staff were attentive and polite. The carpet in our room had a few coffee stains by each bedside table, the bed was very comfy though and the room was quiet. We would definitely book to come again. The dining room could benefit from some music at breakfast time to break the silence. And maybe some plug-ins to freshen up the hallway. Apart from that, it was good!

Great location with parking. Friendly staff, excellent breakfast. Unfortunately some other guests were noisy throughout the night

Excellent breakfast and very nice atmosphere. Would return to this b&b in a heartbeat.

The B&B felt like home from home. Location 5/5. Staff very friendly. Good breakfast. Bread was too thick for our liking. Room was very clean. Had a parking space which was very convenient. We had one day where our room was missed for service but the team apologised profusely. On reflection, feel like we over spent on accommodation here in comparison to the B&B we stayed at earlier on in the week and it didn’t have the wow factor like the other one. On arrival we did receive lemon drizzle cake which was a lovely gesture and very welcoming.

Such a great location with delicious, expansive breakfast spread and comfortable, cozy rooms. Staff and ownership was utterly delightful, helpful, and gracious.

Great cozy house. The room for 4 was comfortable and big enough for short stay.

Lovely guesthouse, the staff were so attentive and made sure our stay was perfect

Nice location very near to York with the added benefit of parking if you take the Ebor suite. We used it for a one night stay for to attend a concert in the museum gardens which were very close. Some noise from the kitchen could be heard in our room but not that it made the stay uncomfortable

This is a perfect location for the town of York. The staff were friendly. The room was lovely and clean. Breakfast was great.

Awesome staff that went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Even made a call for us to the rental car place. Great breakfast and parking, both free/included. I think the pillows could be updated but the bed and room were all we needed. I highly recommend this property!
