We have just come back from a weekend at Gill and Dave's B&B and can not recommend it highly enough! The rooms were spotless (we stayed in Deansgate in the attic), the food excellent (especially Gill's full english!), the location superb (10 mins walk from the city centre) and the hosts absolutely lovely! We can't think of a single thing... More

I have stayed with Gill and David before at their previous and much larger establishment and they have lost none of their touch. I can think of nothing I would change, they are so welcoming and have thought of just about everything. It is beyond me why anybody would want to stay in a hotel. I read the 4 star... More

We stayed at the Alexander House for three nights in November to celebrate my husband's birthday. We have been to York before and stayed in hotels, this was our first time in a B&B and we decided to stay here on the strength of the trip advisor reviews. We were not disappointed. Dave & Gill are a good team who... More

We are a young(ish) couple from LA and tend to stay in modern hotels like the St. Regis. I am typically horrified by the idea of doing a bed and breakfast. To me, they typically look like the owners went to the flea market and bought whatever mismatched items they could find. The last experience that we had with a... More

Well what a gem,used trip advisor to find somewhere in York to stay and really glad we did. The Alexander House is superb in everyway from the first welcome cup of tea and bisuits on arrival . The hosts cannot do enough to help and ensure that nothing is too much trouble. We stopped in the lovely Deansgate room on... More

We can only agree with the previous reviews, very welcoming, clean, warm, comfortable, & everything works. A good breakfast with plenty of choice, definitely recommend you try the home made museli - much better than commercial versions. Alexander House is just 10 minutes walk from the town (Cliffords Tower) and there are local shops 2 or 3 minutes along the... More
