An alright hostel

No kitchen or fridge and toilets that were not great. But cages for stuff under beds (you had to purchase a padlock) and curtains on the bunk beds which were appreciated.

The owner was very helpful and friendly. You can refill your water bottle and hot water is also available at the reception. Pleanty of option for dinner and breakfast. Easy access from train station, about 5-min walk. No elevator which is usual in the UK. Highly recommended.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Amazing decorations. The bathroom and toilet are in the bedroom for 10 people, it was difficult to use for turn and noise.

Booked a one night stay in a private triple room (room 15). Room was on the top floor and very quiet, clean and comfortable. Will not hesitate using again next time I need to stay in York.

Central and convenient.

Close to the station and within the city walls, so great as pedestrians. Plenty of food and drink nearby. Loads of character.

Honest feedback

Due to the extreme noise, a nose strip should be offered and mandatory, it was disturbing even through headphones and earplugs. No aircon in room, advertised as there. Staff were helpful but not always listening to my concern about the door not opening to my dorm. No plug sockets for upper bunk anywhere, made this an awkward situation of impinging on the privacy of the lower bunkmate. I know this is momentary but it still affects another person at any hours of the day or night. No shock absorption for bunk beds, so that you can feel you're alone, otherwise both parties feel the others' movement. No lock provided, such as a electronic lock for the storage facility in the room lockers, which was unexpected. The cage did not go under the bed when a guest was in the lower bunk - functionality issue. Guests didn't have the House Rules to hand about lights out, no noise after 10 etc, this would be handy in the bathroom and room door to prevent selfish behaviour of an anti social nature. E. g. A guest left water all over the bathroom floor and entrance to the bathroom, a trip hazard, and when asked to wipe it up politely, did not reply or action the mess.
Jasmine, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Horrendous Hostel

The place needs kitchetes, a tv room and laundry facilities. Strong rules about losing your accommodation if you are found to make too much noise after 12 pm. The place needs a deep clean and the shower facilities need improving. Shared toilets are a bad idea and must be super uncomfortable for women.
Michael, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

It was the worst place I've stayed in my entire life, the shower didn't work on any of the days I was there, I made 6 complaints and nothing was resolved, there simply wasn't hot water, the bathroom and room were only cleaned one day Anyway, thank God I'm in another hotel here in York, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Paulo, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

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!
Regina, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

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.
