Where to stay in York: the best areas

Inside the walls

Near the Minster, The Shambles and Stonegate there are charming hotels in medieval and Georgian houses, plus apartments. Everything is within walking distance, though some streets are pedestrianised and parking is difficult.

Station and the River Ouse

Between the station and the river there are large Victorian and chain hotels, five minutes from the city walls. It is the most practical option if you arrive by train.

Bootham and Clifton

North of the walls there are plenty of B&Bs in brick houses, cheaper and with parking, a short walk from the Minster.
