“The Barbican truly puts you at the heart of York; its location is simply unbeatable for exploring the city's pulse. I found the living space quite cosy, and the attention to cleanliness and the quality of the beds was immediately apparent and very welcome. It felt like a well-considered space, equipped with just what you'd need for a comfortable stay.”
