reviews

The 1 bedroom apartment (no.25 I think) was lovely and light, very clean and a great space to relax after a busy day. The bed & pillows were very comfortable. The only problem I had was figuring out the tap at the sink, it was a small lever and difficult to do small adjustments.
One of the 2 bedroom apartments was a deluxe apartment (no. 7) and it was HUGE! It was beautifully decorated and again the guest reported that it was very comfortable to stay in.
The other 2 bed was a little smaller (no. 5) but equally as well decorated. We used it as a base for drinks and nibbles prior to going for dinner.
All in all we'd definitely book here again. It was perfectly located being only a 10min walked to the city centre. Self check-in was simple.
Brilliant!



We had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Lawrance Micklegate. From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless, modern, and beautifully thought out.
The apartment was spotless, incredibly spacious, and styled to a very high standard. It genuinely felt like a luxury home away from home, with everything you could possibly need provided – from a fully equipped kitchen to comfortable seating, smart TV, and thoughtful little extras that made the stay even more enjoyable.
The location is perfect – just a short walk into York city centre, yet still quiet enough to relax properly after a day of exploring. Having everything so close by made it ideal for sightseeing, shopping, and dining.
Check-in was smooth and easy, and communication throughout was excellent. The space felt private, secure, and very well managed.
Overall, this is one of the best places we’ve stayed in York. Stylish, comfortable, and perfectly located – we would not hesitate to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality stay in the city.



The setting is superb, in a beautiful courtyard within the city walls and only a 10 minute walk to the centre.
I will be back.



Pros were ideal location, very comfy bed and very friendly/attentive staff.
Cons were the shower was useless for washing hair, literally a dribble with no pressure, ended up washing my hair over the bath with a jug which wasn't ideal.
Sofa ok for a short stay but not comfortable for lounging on.
Apartment is designed for look and location, not for comfort.

Beautiful space - The positives:
. Great location - near train station and centre.
. Great having a separate bedroom. Lovely bed.
. Loved having a bath and shower.
... read more /> . Good kitchen.
. Easy check-in/out.
Negatives:
. No bag storage, I had to pay to store the bag across the road. I've never stayed anywhere that didn't store a bag. Surely there is a cupboard or room that could securely hold bags?
. The kitchen needs a few additions, such as a baking tray as you just have the oven tray that can need cleaning, also a pair of tongs. To have a small pint of fresh milk would have also been nice.

Great apartment - We had a 1 bed apartment at the King’s Road location. The apartment was very clean and nicely appointed. Much bigger than expected and the bed was very comfortable. Location... read more is super, you’re right in the town centre.
The only feedback I’d give is that I wasn’t keen on the “welcome” email. Not really welcoming at all and really badly written. All rather militant and written by someone who clearly doesn’t understand what a welcome email should be. So it kind of puts you off turning up!
The parking situation could be disclosed up front, but wasn’t an overall issue.

Great apartments, minor issues - Wonderful apartments on a quiet side street. Clean, modern space — and absolutely the most comfortable bed and bedding we had anywhere on our 2-week trip. Very nice, responsive, and... read more accommodating front desk too — by email or phone.
The only snafus were: 1) when our vent in our bedroom starting leaking condensation onto our things in the middle of the day. Thankfully, our friend was home taking a couple of work calls, so he called maintenance. And 2) I got locked in and couldn’t leave as I was running late for dinner, because our key cards that opened our apartment and the gate to get out all stopped working just on that gate. Bit of a freak-out moment for me, but thankfully, phoning the front desk brought someone out to help me get out.

5 Stars for our apartment and stay. Thanks to Linda who was a great host/receptionist. Would highly recommend. Place was lovely and clean. Nice and quiet. Great location for all... read more the sites me and the wife wanted to see. Couldn’t fault the apartment. One suggestion would be to offer a firmer pillow on the bed.

Great place to stay - Beautiful apartment. Very clean.
We stayed in appt. 7 - deluxe penthouse. It was a very generous size with all the facilities you need for... read more a short stay.
Fluffy towels, shampoo & shower gel, hairdryers in both bedrooms, a tray of tea and coffee (inc. decaf), washing up liquid & tea towel, dishwasher tablet and even washing pods for the machine.
Great location, only a 5 min walk to a Sainsburys local in 3 different directions. An easy walk into the city and local attractions.
Secure and gated.
We had a maintenance issue while we were there, as we had a booking in the city we couldn't get to reception. I sent an email and had a reply very quickly and the issue was sorted before we returned. Great service.
We would happily stay here again.
Although maybe in a different apartment as there was a low droning noise of the blocks air conditioning units on the roof which disturbed us. Not enough to need to mention during our stay or reduce the rating.
The only thing that stopped us rating this as 5 star was the lack of blackout curtains/blinds. The morning daylight comes through the wooden blinds (around the edges and through the string holes).

We will definitely book again.

Keep up the good work!!

Lovely Christmas family stay in luxury apartment - We recently stayed in a two bed deluxe penthouse number 7 . The apartment was in a good location but quiet. It was decorated to a high spec, very spacious... read more for 4 adults and a three month old baby. The apartment was very clean and kitchen adequate for a few days stay. There are no wardrobes but sufficient hanging space and draws.
We had requested a travel cot which wasn’t supplied but on emailing reception this was answered promptly. Apparently this was an error with booking.com fortunately we had decided to take our own cot so wasn’t a problem. We also had not been left 2 discount vouchers for the car but this also was auctioned quickly.
Reception is at the back of the alley to access the apartments and you can get extra tea coffee towels, bedding etc , this is regularly manned
Overall we had a great stay at TheLawerenceand would definitely return.

We Stayed at the Lawrence for three nights in September. It was a lot cheaper to stay Sunday to Wednesday than over the weekend so worth bearing in mind if... read more you’re thinking of booking.
The Apartment was in a great location, just a few moments walk from Harrogate town centre. We were allocated apartment 5 ( studio ) Kings Road in the middle of Harrogate and we had to park 10 minutes walk away at Duchy Road, not ideal but this was explained to me prior to booking. It wasn’t a major issue for us except when we went to unload our car as you can park outside for 15 minutes , there were no parking spaces and traffic wardens around, this was a hassle and would put us off staying again. Our car however we felt was safe at the other site and of course it was free which is a bonus in Harrogate.
The apartment was well equipped with two TVs, a full kitchen and a lovely clean bathroom with a huge shower cubicle. The Bed was super comfortable with really lovely bedlinen. Sadly I found a lot of long dark hairs on the stool in the bedroom near the dressing table. I wasn’t looking for hairs, there were loads!
We had a few issues while we were staying here. We couldn’t work out how to use the extractor fan in the kitchen, we thought it was broken but there was a knack to it, a sign would’ve been useful for this. The TV in the bedroom was not connected to the Internet so we could not watch any Netflix or Amazon Prime and this was an issue as the sofa in the lounge area opposite the lounge TV was very uncomfortable, we would’ve liked to have gone and laid on the bed to watch some TV. The sofa looked great but was super uncomfortable! There was only one window in the apartment which was at Street level, we had to have the window open as we were very warm but it was very noisy because of this and obviously an issue with security being on street level.. There was a Dyson fan in the accommodation which we didn’t feel was working correctly, we have one at home ( same model ) that is far more powerful. I think apartment five would be very hot in the summer months.
The Plastic thing in the fridge that holds bottles was missing so we could not put any bottles in the door and this caused an issue as milk leaks when it’s laid down, these little things are important and seem to have been a little overlooked.
We were provided with tea and coffee making facilities and you could replenish these, free of charge. A nice touch.
I reported the issues at the time to the Lawrence customer services and a lovely helpful lady who addressed our concerns but as we were only staying for three nights we didn’t actually get any resolution. On the whole it was a lovely apartment in a great location which was very well equipped and clean but we wouldn’t stay again because of the issues we had. Our Breaks away a rare and for such a short period of time so would look for an alternative next time we come.

Great base for a little break or a business stay - This is a beautiful little place, very modern and trendy, an apartment had everything you'd expect to find: small kitchen, utensils, living room, etc, everything was spotlesly clean, and cosy.... read more It's conveniently located 10 minutes from the train station, close to all the shops and restaurants. You get an email with instructions of how to check yourself in. I could not recommend this place more, it has more private and quiet feel than a big hotel.

Very nice! - Very Impressed with what we had! Very clean, tidy, and very well equipped! 10 mins walk to Harrogate Town centre, but this is not our 1st time so... read more know our way around quite well. Very happy with most of it all. The only hang up we had was the lights. As it was a basement apartment it was a bit dark and a smidge overpriced but over all Very happy. Just a small thing, as it was a basement apartment there was apartment above and heard every noise. However that isn't the hotel/apartments fault.
