Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Crescent Guest House is praised for its convenient location, being just a short walk from York Minster and the city centre, with some finding it especially easy to reach from the train station. Guests appreciate the well-equipped rooms, often mentioning the coffee machine and kettle, with a nearby bakery offering convenient breakfast options; however, a few guests have noted that the windows in some rooms don't open much. Some guests also enjoyed the discount voucher for the Moroccan restaurant "Marrakesch" near Ouse Bridge, and appreciated having access to a ground-floor kitchenette.

excellent location and friendly service!

central locationwarm welcomepayment inconvenience
The location was excellent, easily reached from the train station. it was only a short walk to the town centre, approximately five minutes. mo greeted me upon arrival and proved helpful. He offered recommendations for local attractions. I felt quite welcome.
The hotel's system was reportedly down. I planned to pay with a credit card but was unable. i was directed to an atm nearby, which would have incurred fees due to my international travel. i would have preferred an alternative payment method during that visit.
