Guests say
The Old Bike Store in York is highly praised for its prime location within walking distance to the city centre, cleanliness, and comfortable amenities including super comfy beds. Guests appreciate the convenience of on-site parking and the property's suitability for dog owners. The enclosed courtyard and modern bathroom with a great shower are also noted as positives. While most feedback is positive, there is a mention of maintenance issues with skylights and a desire for more mirrors.
Guests consistently describe the property as very clean and well-maintained, indicating high standards of cleanliness.
The property's location is frequently highlighted as perfect, with easy access to York centre and the benefit of off-road parking, making it an ideal base for exploring the city.
Comfort is a strong point, with multiple reviews mentioning comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere. However, one review mentioned a room being hot and stuffy due to a maintenance issue, slightly lowering the score.
Facilities are generally well-received, especially the modern bathroom and well-equipped kitchen. However, the score is slightly reduced due to a reported issue with non-opening skylights and a desire for additional mirrors.
While some guests were pleased with the provision of tea and coffee, there is insufficient information to assess the overall thoughtfulness of the hosts, such as consistent provision of welcome gifts or additional touches.

Lovely and clean, host very friendly and helpful. Only thing I would add is need a few more extra large dinner plates ok if two of you staying but with four of us found it difficult when cooking, proper chopping board and oven gloves but these are minor issues, on site parking is a bonus would highly recommend to anyone to stop and would definitely come back again.
