The hotel is really well located to the railway station by using the bridge crossing available directly from inside the station. Room 5 was on the small side, but warm and comfortable. Shower was small but good hot water pressure. The included breakfast was the star of the show. Delicious. Spies was accommodating and a great personality. Lovely quiet area.

Lovely B&B. Spirios was very welcoming and accommodating and always had a smile on his face. Room was clean and tidy and mirrored the rest of the guest house. Close to York city centre and 10 minutes from the train station. Would highly recommend a stay at this little gem

Seven minute walk from the train station. Seven minute walk to downtown this bed-and-breakfast is in a neighborhood very safe. The owner is incredibly nice. If you like a bed-and-breakfast experience, you’ll love this. The only problem we had was the showerhead wasn’t working, but the hands sprayer worked just fine.

Great spot for all York's attractions

Very well placed but quiet spot close to all of York's sights and only 10 minutes from train station. Fabulous breakfast and both Spiros and his son were great hosts. If you like antique furniture and quirkiness whilst retaining the essential mod cons you'll love this b&b.

Went to York to see Christmas market,so looked for somewhere that was a a short walk from the centre. This is a quaint period property that is privately run. The host was very helpful and nothing was too much bother. Would certainly stay there again.

I would highly recommend this traditional family run guest house. A lovely welcome from Spyros. He explained everything in terms of the amenities of the property with the sence of pride on his face. After settling into our room we set off for the day, before leaving Spyros took us through the highlights of York and gave us brochures and Maps to assist with our itinerary. In the morning we were given a choice of a Continental or a lovely all you can eat English breakfast. The service from Natalie and Kaldydira was exceptional… all of the family couldn’t do enough us to ensure a comfortable stay. The personal touch makes a real difference! All this in a very short distance from the train station and a 10 minute walk to the city centre.

Decent stay with some disappointments

Host was nice enough, and location was good. Can’t speak for other rooms. But my room in particular was on the top floor, was really small and had a detached private bathroom that was also small and inconvenient. Although the bathroom situation was disclosed, the tight spaces and inconvenient access were not. I also needed to leave very early and made the room available for most of my stay and wasn’t offered even part of the payment back. I realize that’s policy. But some flexibility considering the very early departure would have been nice.

Nous avons bien apprécié notre séjour au Sycamore guess house. La chambre était petite mais confortable. L’emplacement est à 10 minutes à pied de la gare de train et 15 min du centre de York. Spiros et son fils vous servent un délicieux petit déjeuner anglais chaque matin. Et Spiros se fera un plaisir de vous indiquer quoi visiter ou le chemin à prendre vers les attractions. Je recommande fortement ce guess house.
