YHA York Hostel

"It was my first experience in a hostel and I was skeptical about how good the rooms are going to be and how comfortable I will be. But this hostel was beyond my expectations. I felt safe and comfortable and the services were excellent. Definitely the best prices as well. I would say for the price I got luxury treatment."

"15 minutes walk from York centre. A large hostel with good facilities. You have to be open to the youth hostel experience. It's more basic than a hotel but you have more opportunities to meet people. Friendly and helpful staff. We got a a very good value for money deal on overnight accommodation and a breakfast. Will go back"

"This is such an amazing hostel. Amazing rooms that are well maintained and everything is just clean and tidy. Worth all the money u will spend of this. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They do have food option there but we ordered takeaway and had it at the hostel. Best part is how quiet and neat and tidy they are. Incredibly well maintained hostel and I will definitely be staying at YHAs others branches in the future. I have stayed at other hostels as well but YHA is so far my favourite. They do have pool table and a lovely launch area. Would recommend 10/10."

"Does what it says on the tin. Perfectly good youth hostel, with very friendly staff. The food is OK - my pizza was a bit bland but filled a hole. Breakfast is great value. Good secure bike storage but a long way to carry my bikepacking bags to the room. My main issue is the beds. In this day and age, and with the competition of Air BnB, I think its reasonable to expect a decent bed, even in a youth hostel. The wipeclean vinyl mattress was way too soft and really not a great night's sleep. Plus was woken up at 3am by the sound of very drunk people having a long and intense discussion right outside my door. With no way of contacting reception in the room, it's put up with it or confront yourself in your PJs. Ear plugs a must. You know what you are getting at YHA, but I do wonder if they need to up their game a little if they want to attract an older customer?"

"We have been before a few times. Excellent location, 15minute walk by river to centre. Breakfast excellent value. Staff were run off their feet but always kind, efficient and helpful."
