Great option for a budget stay in York

Lovely, well-appointed hostel just a 20 min walk from York city centre along the river. Room was clean, quiet and comfortable and the hostel has great facilities. Located right next to a beautiful park. Great value for money, would return.

Amazing experience!

I came with my friends to York for the for the first time, and the stay here made the overall experience wonderful. Everything was perfect, and in the morning we had a nice breakfast. I would stay here again on my next trip to York :))

The staff was lovely and the accommodations were very clean and tidy. It was a very easy walk into the city center and we are glad we have the experience. The set up for the shower and toilet was tight, but it made sense if one is traveling with others who are not their family.

Fabulous stay.

Really good location for our stay in York as part of our cycling weekend. Handy to have the bike to get from YHA into York as otherwise would have been a 30 minute walk. Secure bike space. Helpful staff and good decor. Very clean dorm room.

Great Location in York.

This is a well provisioned youth hostel with attentive staff.The location in York is excellent - it is a 20 minute walk alongside the river to the city centre. You can leave your car in the YHA car park. Noise from the heating system / extractor fans was an issue - it wasn't the quietest place. Also not cheap! Budget hotels can be cheaper than YHAs these days, but YHAs have kitchens and social spaces that make the difference.

Lovely shared areas but the room was poor. The bathroom fan would not go off all night which was very noisy. The bed lights and charge points did not work. Vegan breakfast options were very limited and the server did not know was vegan so I got a refund and ate in York instead.
