Lovely find… My friend and I had a wonderful stay… spotlessly clean.. beautiful surroundings.. Great breakfast.. Would definitely recommend..
Twin room on first floor was lovely .. we loved the quirkiness of it.. as you enter the room there is a toilet and sink at one side and shower and sink on the other.. then u climb a few stairs and your into the large spacious room.. lovely beds/linen and white fluffy towels… double aspect windows.. Although will admit it is onto the busy traffic lights system outside therefore noisy when window open.. 
Fabulous breakfast.. loved the teapot and silver cutlery.. and breakfast was presented and tasted great.. 
The whole place is beautiful.

Book you won’t be disappointed..

We loved this place.  It was a great surprise, and perfect for two ex convent girls on a road trip celebrating 50 years of friendship.  Very comfortable room, a lovely place to wander about in, very good breakfast.  Perfectly situated for wandering around York.  One tip, we arrived gasping for a drink and there wasn't a bar!  It is a bar of a different sort.  No worries, we went out and got a bottle!

A very pleasant surprise

More interesting than a Holiday Inn or bland hotel but they charge a premium price for a mid-range service. We paid just over £200/ night x 3 for a “superior” room and got cheap toilet roll and the explanation that only jug/ filter coffee was available on a Sunday as they don’t switch the coffee machine on unless the cafe is open. (This tells me that cafe customers are considered more important than hotel guests).
Breakfast is exactly as shown in photos by other reviewers- great if that’s what you want but few options apart from English fry-up. In 2023 I would expect a 4 star hotel to do a little better.

Interesting place to stay - dubious quality for price

My friend & I recently discovered we make good travel companions (not always the case, sadly).  The Bar Convent was her idea & an excellent one.  We had separate rooms on the top floor, not accessible by lift.  The rooms contained all the modern amenities (electric kettle, modern plumbing, flat screen TV, WiFi) but I was struck by the twin bed and nary a mass produced painting on the walls.  It felt like a nun's cell (not that I would actually know): it was perfect.  While the location was great (York is very walkable in any case), we also enjoyed exploring the convent itself: the museum, the chapel, the back hallways.  And, yes, we found the (alleged) hand of St. Margaret Clitherow (it's behind a screened window to the left of the altar).  Breakfast was easy to order with excellent choices & we delighted starting our mornings in that lovely atrium.  This was my fourth visit to York - there's always something more to explore & experience - and my fourth lodging.  I will stay here again at my next visit.

Unique & Welcoming Base for a Stay in York.

Wonderful gem of a place! I’m so happy I stayed here and not at one of the soulless corporate places in the area.
Late arrival (due to weather) but check-in was warm and friendly. 
Super comfortable large room and en-suite with heating, Aircon, piping hot water and high quality bedding etc. 
Great breakfast in delightful surroundings, and a lovely secret garden and chapel with reliciquary actually on site. 
Everything about the stay was indeed perfect, will definitely stay here again

Hidden Gem you WON’T regret

Excellent short stay

Very friendly welcome and excellent service throughout our stay.
Comfortable room with big fluffy towels and toiletries provided. Great powerful hairdryer.
Excellent breakfast with lots of choice.
We would definitely stay here again 

Excellent stay

Wasn’t sure what to expect as this is still a functioning convent. Thd place is steeped in history and so beautiful and interesting. The staff were so amazing and friendly from the receptionists to the cafe staff. The waitresses couldn’t do enough for us. There was a slight delay in our breakfast which didn’t bother us. They were so apologetic and there was no need. The food was fantastic and the rooms cleaned to a high standard. This place is a hidden gem. 

Ladies weekend 

This is an excellent place to stay with friendly staff, spotless and comfortable rooms.  Breakfast is excellent with plenty of choice.    The building is extremely interesting.  I would stay here again and would recommend it

Excellent guest house in historic building

If you want to stay in a place where the breakfasts are to suit everyone and are filling, then this is the place to stay. It caters for all tastes from continental to a full cooked breakfast and it's plentiful too! My room was on the top floor but it had everything I needed. There is a lift as far as the second floor and being as I was on the top floor, the stairs are narrow but I coped well. The location of The Bar Convent is so convenient to the train station and is a short walk to the city centre and visitor attractions. There is also a tour of the building and has a lot of history to explore. which I will do the next time I stay. The staff are so helpful and welcoming. Would I stay here again? Yes, most definitely!
