The hotel is owned by the same couple as Abbeyfields. St Raphael is another superb friendly B and B. Excellent service. The location is a short walk into York centre. Highly recommended. Good value for money.

As with many of the B&B's in York, St Raphael offers far better value than some of the big named hotels. The rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable and the location is excellent as are the breakfasts. My only niggle with this particular B&B is their self-service check-in which they use for when they are not there. It’s a good... More

Lovely guest house. Very clean and tidy. Very efficient replies to my emails prior to stay and organised my free on street parking pass. Superb morning breakfast. All in all would definitely recommend even tried to book for New Year's Eve today but fully booked up.

St. Raphael Guest House is in a residential neighborhood just a 5-10 minute walk to the cathedral and the old part of town. The room was average size with nice furnishings including cut flowers and pictures on the walls. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom is small with a telephone booth sized shower.

We spent two nights in York and the weather was chilly!! The B & B was warm and cozy! Zoe makes bread for breakfast too good to toast! We could walk to the train station in less the 15 minutes the morning we left for London! We returned our rental car to the train station... that was challenging! We had... More

Stayed for 2 nights over Easter and this B&B suited us perfectly. A lovely short stroll to the centre through the museum gardens, parking included - the car was parked and left for the duration. A great, freshly cooked breakfast, a good room with Zoe providing excellent tips on arrival. When we return to York I will book here rather... More

We wanted to go to York for an Easter break with our two children. We stayed in this superb guest house. We were greeted warmly by Zoe and made to feel at home. The guest house is just a 5 min walk away from all the York attractions. Our room was perfect, clean, very comfortable and with a choice for... More

This was really a flying stop over, arriving on the Sunday afternoon and leaving the next morning. Whilst Zoe and family were out when we arrived (and the guest house locked up) everything was in place to make sure we gained entry to the House and our room. The first thing that hit me was how spotlessly clean everywhere was,... More
