Ketsia Tahiry

Disliked: Cleanliness
Stayed in the female 10 bedroom ensuite and it was all the way on the 3rd floor. No elevator lucky had a really nice man that helped me with my luggage if not it would have been a struggle. The bathroom is extremely small and it floods and gets super messy when someone takes a shower since the water gets everywhere. It’s honestly not much bigger than an airplane toilet. There is nowhere for you to do your makeup so had to do my makeup in bed with my small pocket mirror. The area is great though super close to the train station and to historic York.

Nima, the staff, is really friendly and attentive. You can leave your luggage here for just 3£/day. Great location, close to the station. The room is clean. There’s a cage that you can put your belongings in and lock for safety. The only downside is there is no electrical outlet for the top bunk. Roommates can be quite noisy in the early morning, but that how the dormitory is.

A gorgeous Georgian mansion converted into comfortable accommodations. Curving staircases and stuccoed ceilings. The staff are genuinely kind and helpful. Much more characterful than a cheap chain hotel.

Okay, for short stay but noisy

Good location for central York and reasonably priced for a two bunk bed room. Building is old, floors and walls echo with sound of inconsiderate people making noise late into the night.

Regina

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Good: excellent location, walkable distance from train station and town centre. Bunk beds had curtains and you could just close it and be private. Place was quiet. Bad: Staff at the reception were not friendly, at times rude and dismissive. The owner should come down sometimes to check it. The atmosphere wasn't friendly, not a good place to make new friends. There were tables, chairs and armchairs on the ground floor but people sat individually and spent time on their phones. Bedrooms very bad cleaned, dust pilled up under/side of beds. Terrible mattress. Toile/shower cubicle very small, shower plug blocked which created a pool every time I had a shower. Not very pleasant!

Amy

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Room comfort

Not great for family, better if adult-not sleeping

Booked a private room for 5, including adults and kids. Room 25 is just under the dining room which was full of an adult group having boisterous fun until 1 or 2 am (only slowed after complaining because kids couldn’t sleep and asked to quiet down - not soundproof so felt like we were laying in middle of a bar or party). Adults just having fun - would have loved it on an adult trip in my 20’s. Knew as a hostel it would be simple beds and loud but assumed quiet hours at least by midnight but there were none, okay to be loud 24hrs. Beds were fine - bunks not creaky, bed quite firm but ok and private, comforter plush. Great shared bathroom just across from room, clean with 3 private showers and 2 toilets. Wish it had been communicated that towels were available for fee - wasn’t told and didn’t show in Hotels post or email. Location is great, walking distance of food, stores, river, activities. Parked in Blossom st car park a reasonable walking distance for reasonable £11. Again would do well for a girls trip or adult fun late into night. I didn’t sleep and kids didn’t much either so were miserable. York was so busy for holiday market after restless night it was too much for them so disappointing it was a bit of a wasted trip altogether.

Christine

Disliked: Amenities
It was a lovely building & communal areas were good. However the TV blew up as soon as I put it on & was kaput. It was lonely in my room with minimal facilities & staff were barely helpful. Other guests spent 20 mins getting the TV in the dining room to work. I'll be in Montrose next week in a single room at exactly half the price of this one so not good value.
