FAQs

Where's the best place to stay in York?

Want to tick off all the top tourist attractions? The city centre’s the place to be. York Minster and the Shambles – a medieval cobblestone shopping street – are on your doorstep, along with a line-up of tasty restaurants (everything from Italian to Nepalese) that are definitely worth your dough.  

Where's the cheapest place to stay in York?

South Bank – or ‘Bishy Road’, if you’re down with the local lingo – is a cheaper city centre alternative if you prefer to spend your pennies sightseeing. Home to loads of quirky shops and cute corner cafes just two miles south of the city walls, it’s the perfect place to call home.
