Barbican House was amazing, the owners were very friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was beautiful so much that we ordered it for our second morning as well. The room was a lovely size and beds were very comfy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The owner, Mr Durung is such a nice man, friendly, helpful and with an impeccable military background too. My room was very nice. Lovely furnishings, clean en suite bathroom with a nice shower plus multiple tea tray options and plenty of milk and sugar which is often kept to a minimum at other places. The bathroom toiletries (The White Company) are not cheap and they smell absolutely lovely. The B & B is well situated with the nicest smelling fauna on the exterior corner. Access to the city wall, the Shambles, Minster and all that York City centre has to offer is a convenient short walk away. The only downside for me was the noise of the traffic outside but that's a personal slant as it wouldn't be an issue for a heavier sleeper. All in all, I would throughly recommend Barbican House. The 'No vacancies' sign was displayed while I was there and I can totally understand why it's such a popular place to stay.

we found the property spotlessly clean and the father and daughter team we interacted with to be very friendly and accommodating. Only criticism is that the bed was very soft and hammock-like.

A real Gem
We booked the Barbican House as we had tickets to see Paul Weller at the Barbican. From the minute we arrived they were so helpful. The room itself was spotlessly clean with the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. We hadn't booked breakfast but decided to order as we arrived, the cost was £15 each per night, it was delicious with fresh fruit and cereal to start and then a full English with gorgeous bacon and sausages. Nothing was too much trouble for the host, he was so lovely. We had such a wonderful stay we didn't want to go home. Would definitely stay here again it's a gem of a place. Thank you again for your hospitality.

Barbican House is lovely. Very comfortable bed and room was decorated very nicely. Breakfast with tea was wonderful ( you need to order the night before and it is an extra charge). Durga is lovely and even ordered a taxi for me to get to the airport.

Great location and nice to be able to park there- York is NOT an east place to park. Room was comfortable and clean. A very charming place overall, and very good value. Not pleased that the breakfast was unavailable to us- as we hadn't booked it. We were late arriving the previous evening, but were not asked about breakfast the next morning. One usually assumes the 2nd B in B&B is a given- even if it costs extra, as is advertised. But we woke up expecting breakfast and were told we should have booked it the night before. The place is renowned for its excellent breakfast, but had to find it elsewhere. Some better communication would be beneficial.

What a wonderful guest house. Our beautiful room overlooked the city walls and gate. We had great beds and were within a short walk to the city center. Durga, the owner, ensured we had all that we needed, including a place to park. We would happily stay here again.
