My friend and I booked the quadruple room for ourselves and it was lovely. It has been renovated and you could tell. Chargers by the bed with a light. It was super warm (it was snowy outside) and they ensured the entire building was heated well. The washer and dryer were free which was great as I expected to pay a few pound for each machine. We used the kitchen to cook and it was clean and had everything there. We relaxed in the common area on the big sofas in the evening and it was comfortable and clean. Overall the price for a private room for 2 people it was exceptional including parking. I would stay here again when visiting York.

All hostels in York

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great staff who are willing to help. You only buy a towel for yourself and it's nice. Very convenient location in the centre but away from the bars. Reception 24/7 and you can buy earplugs. For the cheapest hostel I've seen, it's great.

    One the best hostels I’ve been so far, and I travel quite often. The familiar atmosphere, the coziness of the living room where they played EuroCup matches. The staff is friendly and you’ll have them cooking with you in the kitchen or just chilling in the common areas. I’ve worked for a couple of days, great Wi-Fi and even if you leave your stuff unattended, nobody touches it.

    Very family-like, beyond friendly staff. Alot of the customers are residential which gives it a homely like aura. Everyone looks out for eachother. As far as hostels go, this is by far the best and safest. Great value for money, perfect for cheap reliable business trips.
