SAINT GEORGE'S KEEP

Very comfortable, well equipped and in the perfect location. Host was very helpful, checking in to make sure that everything was in order. Beds very comfortable and bathroom well appointed, with a lovely jacuzzi bath. The only downside was that there was a little noise outside at night from revellers and traffic, but this was a minor thing and I would definitely come back.

Fantastic place and location for a fantastic city

I booked Saint Georges Keep at least 8 months before I travelled. I nearly cancelled a couple of times thinking accommodation elsewhere would be more handy and closer to the city. How wrong could I be and so glad I didn't cancel. Saint Georges Keep is a fabulous building with great apartments. We travelled as a couple for our wedding anniversary so booked a one-bedroom apartment. Unsure if there are bigger apartments with more bedrooms but perfect for a couple. The building is very modern and clean. We were on the 3rd floor and there was a large lift to our flat. The flat itself has everything you need - kitchen area including dishwasher, fridge, cooker, utensils, plates, kettle, toaster, I could go on. Off the kitchen area is a living-room to chill and watch some TV. There is a large bedroom with an en-suite bathroom that has a very good shower and a jacuzzi bath. There is also a separate toilet off the hallway. The double bed was very comfy and there was a TV in the bedroom as well. The apartment was immaculately clean and everything you need for your stay but what make it extra special is both the communication with the owners and the lengths they go to make you feel relaxed and comfortable. They left milk and fresh water in the fridge and a basket of goodies on the kitchen table that had jams, crisps, chocolate and a drink. As I had mentioned it was my anniversary they went the extra mile and left a bottle of bubbly as a gift. I tried to pay for the bottle but was advised just to enjoy and no money was needed. A lovely touch. The location of the premises is easy for the city centre where you are literally two mins away and 10 mins from the famous Shambles. We took a taxi from the train station on the first night (£6) but walked to the station on our final day (15 mins) so it is handy for everything. I'll return to York and Saint Georges Keep will be my first search when looking for accommodation. Highly recommended.…

Another fantastic stay!

My partner and I have visited York every year since we met in 2010. This was our 3rd stay at St George's Keep apartments. As usual it was superb! The facilities are second to none and provide a real home from home feel. Lesley and Jo the owners provide an excellent service, they are very responsive if you need to contact them. When we stayed in 2019 I asked if they could put a birthday balloon, cake and wine in the apartment for our arrival for my partner, this was not a problem for them and they refused to take any payment. The little touches such as welcome hamper, milk and water were still there. I know the business must have struggled during the peak of the pandemic as all hospitality did, I did think some of those little touches might be missing because of this, but it was as it always is. The bathrobes, slippers, earplugs are luxurious little touches. The goodies in the welcome hamper as well as the toiletries are from local companies, it is a great way to promote and support local businesses. The free WiFi is really easy to connect to and is quick. We took our Now TV stick and it connected to the WiFi with no issues, we got a takeaway and watched a film on Prime Video on out last rainy night. We used the pizza shop across the road opposite Clifford's tower called Ali Geez, it was lovely. I am an early riser and consider 7oclock a lie in. One morning I woke up at ten past nine! The beds are fabulous, I think I need a new bed, I woke feeling refreshed and with no aches and pains. I had to contact the owners and mentioned how comfy the bed was, Lesley told me they have just replaced all of the beds, mattresses, bedding etc. Extremely comfy, fairly firm, deep mattress, which at 5'2" I was just able to get into without a bunk up from my partner 😂. I cannot recommended these apartments enough. Fab location, amazing service and welcoming hosts.…

Excellent location and facilities

Stayed here for 3 nights to visit York and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. The welcome pack containing chocolate, coffees, teas and milk was a welcome extra. The facilities are excellent and the two bedrooms were very comfortable as were the lounge area and kitchen. Really positive contact with the owners via text message and email welcoming us and thanking us for staying. The only slight downside was the noise from the street as the windows are not that well insulated but this didn't take away my 5 star experience. Overall, very impressed and I will certainly be returning soon.

Relaxing weekend 🌟

We have been to York numerous times and stayed in various different locations however I have got to say that so far this is my favourite, located in the centre of the city just around the corner from St George’s Keep itself ( hence the name) and within easy walking distance of the shops and restaurants. You are given a code for the main door which leads into the small reception area and also a code for a specified box on the wall which contains 2 apartment keys, you can either take the stairs or there is a lift up to each floor. The apartments are well furnished, clean and warm with complimentary shower gel/ shampoo etc and a hairdryer in each bedroom. There are enough mirrors for 2 x teenage daughters to get ready in front of. There were even dressing gowns/ slippers and ear plugs available if required ( latter not necessary as far as I was concerned). I was impressed with the detail given to basic necessities, there were several bottles of water and a small carton of milk in the fridge, individual boxes of cereal and a lovely welcome pack on the table( see photo). The kitchen was clean and well equipped with dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid also provided. The staff also kindly sent a message during our stay to check that we had no issues with the accommodation. All in all my had a very relaxing weekend and we will definitely be going back to stay.…

A Wonderful Stay

My family and I stayed in the two bedroom apartment for a long weekend, arriving Friday night until Sunday afternoon. The apartment was a very short drive away from the station, we walked on the return as we knew the way. On arrival the apartment was spotless, with milk and butter in the fridge, cereal, tea, coffee and a wonderful welcome basket on the table. Hotel style shampoo, conditioner, body lotion etc was supplied, along with towels. The apartment is very central, about a 10-15 minute walk from the station, the town centre (including the Shambles) with many restaurants and cafes to choose from. My only criticism would be that, as the apartment is opposite a club, people outside the apartment can get rather loud during the early hours. But otherwise I cannot fault the apartment, and we have a wonderful stay.…

Birthday weekend

Wow wow wow this is 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟 all the way. A lovely welcome pack on arrival, dressing gowns and slippers in the wardrobe, eye masks & ear plugs, little toiletry sets on the dressing table. Soap, toilet rolls, dishwasher tablets, water bottles in the fridge. It was absolutely wonderful. I bumped into the owner on Saturday morning and said how wonderful her apartments are. We really couldn’t fault it. So clean and tidy very comfortable as were the beds. Lifts available if you don’t fancy the stairs. Free WiFi available too. Many thanks and highly recommend was. Central to the city centre.

Very comfortable

We stayed in the two bedroom apartment. Very clean and everything we needed. Even a tasty welcome pack, tea, coffee, milk sugar, water, juice as well as cereal, local jam, biscuits and potato Crisps...a treat! All basic crockery, cutlery etc provided. It was a little noisy outside at night but they even provide earplugs in bedroom should you need them (I didnt). There are washing machines in basement if you need them. Simple key code entrance so we were able to come and go at any hour. Above all this is an excellent location. A few steps to Castle museum and close to all the attractions of central York. The only downside is the lack of car park ( though I understand arrangements can be made with local pay parking), we decided not to come by car. Some excellent restaraunt close by. Thoroughly recommended …
