My stay at City Guest House for three nights was really enjoyable. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the city center, which made exploring York a breeze. Breakfast was generous and delicious, and I appreciated the spotless condition of my room. However, I did notice that the water pressure was a bit on the low side and checkout could have been a tad later, but overall, I had a fantastic experience.
