Welcome to Olga's York Guesthouse

Whether staying in York on holiday or on business Olga’s offers guests traditional Yorkshire values of hospitality, comfort and good locally sourced food. Our breakfasts are possibly the best in York & North Yorkshire.

Families, small groups, and pets are welcome to enjoy our facilities and services. We provide an Honesty Bar and lounge with a small library and games for the enjoyment of all our guests. Tea & Coffee facilities are always on hand for the weary traveller.

The Guesthouse was originally commissioned as accommodation for officers of the cavalry in the late 1800’s and still maintains many of the original features from that era. E.g. ornate corniced ceilings, marble fireplaces, mosaic tiled hallway, stained glass internal doors, and original staircase and newel post.

The British army has been in the area since the 1700’s and although the original Cavalry Barracks now houses York Police Headquarters, the army are still only a few yards down the road at the Imphal Barracks.

Our guesthouse is perfectly located in a quiet street off the busy main A19 Fulford Road and is within a 10 to 20 minute walk (depending upon your age) into York City centre along a pleasant Riverside Esplanade. (for the not so agile, there is a frequent bus service to the city Centre from the top of the street). It is approximately a 10 to 15 minute walk to the University of York, or the York Racecourse on the opposite side of the river ouse via the new millennium bridge.

We are just a short drive from all major roads out of the city and within easy access to the North Yorkshire moors and Yorkshire dales.

Itineries and maps are always available as a bonus to all visitors.
