We received a warm and friendly greeting when we arrived. All the staff we encountered during our stay were friendly and helpful. Our room was larger than I expected, well equipped, comfortable and clean. St George's Guest House felt very "homely", there were pleasant touches such as fresh flowers placed around the entrance hall, a supply of snacks and drinks with an honesty box and a constantly replenished supply of tea, coffee, milk etc which guests could just help themselves to if running low in their room. The breakfast was wonderful, we only had it on one morning as for other days we had plans to have breakfast at various places in town. We were made to feel very welcome and I will certainly have St George's uppermost in my mind for my next visit to York. The location was great for us. We were driving to York and didn't really want to drive through the city centre as I know that traffic congestion can be bad - not a criticism of York, it's the result of a key appeal to the city - its medieval street layout and the existence of the city walls. St George's is just a short walk away from the city centre, maybe 20 minutes or so. Google Maps shows a walking time of 26 minutes from St George's to Coppergate for example and I do find that I walk a bit faster than Google Maps expects. At St George's we were able to arrive and park up without having to deal with city centre traffic and there was ample parking on the street near the guest house. There is also a small, private car parking area at the rear of the accommodation for which you can opt to pay extra if you really want that. It can be difficult to find accommodationn within the city walls which offers parking and even if you do then you still have to deal with driving around the city centre - something I would rather avoid. For those not wanting to walk there are regular busses along Tadcaster Road into town.
