Lovely property, great sized room. Very clean all the amenities you could need. Very helpful and quick response from hist to any questions.
Easy to walk into York centre. Would definitely recommend.
A wonderful, clean,air condtioned room and staff can be contacted 24/7 if any problems. Bed was very comfortable and being left a small bottle of milk in the fridge was a nice touch. Parking was no problem at all in front of buillding. Did have any food but all looked lovely. Would definately recommend.

The hosts were very attentive and couldn’t do enough. The accommodation was fantastic and spotlessly clean.
This place is like a dream come true. The owners really take pride in the rooms, breakfast made to order and delicious. Walkable to city center. We want to go back!
Great place to stay, room was well equipped and the bed was so comfy. Breakfast was lovely and the host was very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return

Perfect. Good cleanliness of rooms and rest of house, easy to check in and out, can't complain. x
What a perfect place to stay in York.
A very easy stroll into York City. Everything you could want in a stay. Breakfast was very generous. And laundry dervice provided on request.
We arrived around 11:00 am, even though it was too early for check in. The owner allowed us to go ahead and park (for free) and he took our luggage up. We made the walk to town in 10 minutes. When we returned that evening, our luggage was in our room and the snacks and wine we brought were in the fridge. The room was lovely and comfortable. The bathroom was extremely clean. Plenty of towels, pillows and blankets. Noise from the street was minimal. We will definitely stay again!!
Great location 10-15 flat walk to Yorkminster. Brilliant attention to detail (tissues and cotton pads in the room). Very high quality bathroom, comfortable bed, quiet. Lovely breakfast, would recommend and will stay there again when in York.
Fantastic place to stay. The hosts were friendly and very helpful. The room was beautiful and very clean. Breakfast was excellent with so much choice and the guest house was an easy 10-15 min walk into the city centre. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lovely large room with air conditioning and bathroom with beautiful slipper bath and wet room style shower cubicle. Breakfast was lovely and fresh with excellent choice.
The room was very comfortable and impeccably clean. Access was easy using the door enrty codes provided. Wifi was good and easy to log onto. The Guest house was also vey quiet, with no disturbances.
I used the breakfast room before I left, and ate granola, greek yoghurt and blueberries with a Coffee latte. These were dispensed from a vending machine, but were fresh and tasted lovely. Bowls, mugs and cuttlery were available.
The staff I met were also friendly and chatty.
I would highly recommend staying here.
We had a lovely stay in the Tower Guest House. The room was very clean and well appointed. Our hosts, Diana and Tony, were very gracious and helpful with sharing dining options and sights to see. It was also very convenient to order our breakfast using their app and the food came out hot and delicious. I very highly recommend staying at the Tower Guest House. We plan to return on our next holiday to York.
The property is quirky and it shows that the owners have taken great care to chose every item in the decoration. It has lots of personality and it’s friendly and quiet. We had a lovely stay.
The owners cook breakfast for the guests every morning, we were very impressed.
The hotel uses an app where you can choose your breakfast options, and there is a lot of information in it. Our stay was very swift.
The room was clean and had everything I needed for a comfortable overnight stay. It was in a good location with parking available if needed. The only problem I had was getting into the building, it took me several attempts using the code provided but I am not the most tecnologically advanced human so It was probably my error! Perhaps a better light in the entrance proch would help?

Fabulous! Tony & Diana - who run the property - were delightful and incredibly helpful. Rooms are beautifully decorated and, for once, are the same size in real life as they are in the publicity photos!
Very handy location: our car remained in the parking area right in front of the hotel for the duration of our stay and we walked into town every day.
Breakfast is included. There is a great choice and it is all cooked to perfection.
Would recommend without the slightest hesitation.
Second time staying in Tower House. Lovely spacious room (French Rococos) individually styled. Tony & Diana are subtle hosts only being seen at breakfast but always about if you do need anything. Breakfast is fresh and cooked to perfection. Well located with a short walk in to the city of York. Parking available at front of house but tight. Highly recommended
Great 2 night stay, slight issue with Expedia which Tony sorted out for us swiftly, great service and a fantastic room, luxurious pillows and bedding/mattress so slept so well and didn’t hear any outside noise. The room has loads of technology if you want to use it. The aircon was a great extra and was lovely and quiet.The breakfast was really good, loads of choice and quality food. I recommend this to anyone staying in York. Having stayed in hundreds of hotels and B&Bs through my work I can honestly say this is one of the Best ! A real credit to the owners. Thank you Martyn and Fina :)
