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.

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.

Great value for money-lovely location.
Good location-short journey from city centre. Well equipped room-ensuite family with 2 sets of bunkbeds, seperate toilet and seperate shower room ensuite with sink in room and two mirrors. Beds have power supply and lamp for each bed. Additional two twin plug sockets near radiator. Mattress a little hard for my liking but ok. Clean bedding, beds made up-bring your own towel/s. The range of food on offer throughout the day looked great but due to allergies/intolerance didn't try anything from the menu. Polite and helpful staff. Clean communal areas with lots of games available for families or friends to use whilst onsite. Beautiful well kept grounds although persistent rain and wind meant I only looked at it through the windows. Hope to revisit later in the year. Recommend as great value for money.

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.

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 :))

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.
