About these apartments

Our 220-room aparthotel, which is centrally located right beside the city’s popular entrainment venue, the York Barbican, offers a range of stylish and contemporary studio, one and two-bedroom apartments, all of which deliver the perfect blend of home and hotel that defines the award-winning Staycity experience, which you can enjoy for as short or as long as you like.

When you stay at York Barbican Centre, you enjoy the comfort and convenience of your own home, alongside the amenities of a hotel. All our apartments boast facilities including fully equipped kitchens (studio apartments feature fully equipped kitchenettes), living, dining and work spaces, flatscreen TVs, complimentary highspeed WiFi, fresh towels and bed linen, on-site guest laundry, and 24-hour reception. Please note there's no scheduled clean of your apartment for stays of six nights or less. For further details on cleaning, please see the 'Good to know' section below.

Staycity York Barbican Centre also boasts a well-facilitated meeting room for hire (perfect for our business guests), a Staycafé open 24/7 and serving a grab and go breakfast, snacks and pizzas (you can order these to go and enjoy them in your apartment), freshly ground coffee, bottled beer, draught beer, cider, wine and soft drinks. Better yet? You can work these gastronomic delights off in our gym.

What’s more, we’re centrally located close to the main tourist attractions, business hives and transport hubs, so whether you’re staying here for work or pleasure or both, you’re right in the heart of the action. At Staycity Barbican Centre, the Barbican is literally on your doorstep, and you’re also within walking distance of the likes of Clifford’s Tower (0.6km) and York railway station (1.6km), and well, every York attraction has to offer really, given how compact and ripe for exploration by foot this charming little city is.
