Pros:

It’s was a beautifully maintained property with amazing decor and the bathroom was to die for. The brekafst was amazing, pre ordered on menu cards and then made to order when you sat down. The pancakes and scrambled eggs were amazing was definitely worth the price!!

Cons:

The bed was really hard and we both struggled to sleep but the pillows where massive and only needed one

Pros:

Great location, lovely staff. Only downside when we arrived they asked for cash, we didn't want to carry the cash at night so had to walk to bank on check out day. We should have had notice of that.

Cons:

Room a bit small

Another brilliant stay here. Will be back
Pros:

Stayed at St Georges many times. It is very clean and cozy and the breakfast is perfect. Always someone on hand to help but not one bit pushy. It is also perfect walking distance into York centre.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike

Pros:

El desayuno es excelente. La atención del personal maravillosa.

Cons:

Solo puedo decir que en la habitación en la que nos quedamos, si bien el cierto el baño estaba muy limpio, el agua se salía de la ducha porque no tiene puerta, solo un tabique de vidrio. Creo que la idea del diseño es buena, pero no funciona, había que poner una toalla para intentar que el agua no se saliera...
