We were able to check in early, which is always nice. We were greeted with smiles and given a tour of our apartment. We were lucky enough to get an upgrade as our booked room was being refurbished. The apartment was spotless. Included a kitchen living room combo space with a microwave, cooker, fridge freezer, coffee making facilities, toaster and breakfast bar. There was also a cleaning cupboard with washing machine, bathroom with bath and shower and two bedrooms. This would have been way above the price we paid for the night, so proper chuffed. The food provided for breakfast which is left for you to make yourself was a loaf of crusty bread, butter, Dairylea style cheese, yoghurts, cereal, milk and orange juice. Maybe it was the free upgrade, maybe it was the lady who greeted, who could not have been friendlier, but this has to be one of the best places we’ve ever stayed and I would be happy returning on our next visit.

Loved our Stay

We were two couples staying in the 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment was lovely, the whole building had been refurbished and everything was new.
We arrived and had tea/coffee, milk, yoghurts, cereal, bread and butter which we didn't expect. There is free parking around the back of the hotel. 
The walk into York is a lovely 10 minute stroll along the river. We tried to book again for August but it is full, Would definitely book again.

Great place to stay

Very close to city centre approx 15 Minute walk. Bus stop a few yards away with buses in to the city centre and to the designer outlet. Parking at the back of the property was brilliant. The flat/apartment has been recently refurbished (we could still smell the paint) to a very good standard. The place was spotless. The host was very welcoming and the little extras were very thoughtful. Those extras were tea bags, coffee, sugar, 4 pints of milk, a loaf of bread, butter, yogurt, cheese spread, Frosties, hand wash, shower gel & towels (you don't always get this when self catering). We will certainly be looking to stay here next time we visit York.

Only bad points were the noise from the road outside the front of the building, will make sure to request a room at the back next time. The WiFi signal was poor but we just used our mobile internet. 

Practically perfect in everyway

Stayed for a weekend to visit the christmas markets. On arrival we were greeted by the owner who was lovely and upgraded our room to a suite, which really made our stay in York much better. The suite was incredibly comfortable, clean and very well equipped, and we were provided with everything we could need. Its a short walk away from the town centre and the river and here are plenty of restaurant and takeaways nearby. Would thoroughly recommend.

Excellent suite located close to town centre

The apartment was clean and bed was comfortable. However, we had booked a bed and breakfast. When we got to Saxon House there was a piece of paper stuck to the front door with a mobile number. We rang the number to be told that Saxon House was being refurbished, we had been moved to an apartment next door and breakfast was in the fridge. Breakfast was a small jug of milk,  jug of orange juice, half a loaf of bread, some cheep fruit yogurts, four triangles of processed cheese and Frosties. Which is not what we were expecting, no attempt had been made to contact us even though they had our email. Also the washing had been left out to dry in the kitchen area when we got there, but it had been moved when we got back from doing some shopping for something for breakfast. The apartment had two double bedrooms, but only three chairs and two stools at the breakfast bar.

Nice apartment, very disappointing breakfast. Not what we booked

On arrival we were told Saxon house was under refurb so we were staying next door in apartment. Was spacious and looked newly decorated. Breakfast for 2 days for 2 people consisted of 2 yoghurt in fridge, 2 triangles of soft cheese, loaf of bread and some cereal. Not really what you expect when you've budgeted for breakfast included. Horrible smell in bathroom which turned out to be the towels. Do not think they had been changed from last person. Location was good.

Stayed two nights in December 2018 with wife and 14 year old son in apartment spread over three floors.

Good points: good location, 10 min walk along the river to York Centre. Parking outside apartment.

Bad points: owner treats apartments as self-catering and by this it means that towels aren’t changed, bins aren’t emptied and toilet rolls are not replaced. Three towels between three people for two nights are not enough!

The promised free WiFi was non-existent.

Exposed pipework to hallway radiator is dangerous as they get scaldingly hot and would seriously injure anyone accidentally touching them.

General lack of maintenance - broken breakfast bar stool, missing tile from side of bath, blown spotlight bulbs not replaced.

This apartment needs TLC but seems that owner doesn’t care. At £290 for the two nights we expected more.
