YHA York Reviews

Lovely hostel with friendly staff… Great price for location on York…

This youth hostel is overall good one. Service is good, location is a bit far from city center and train station as well. Shower room is ok but toilet is not very clean.

It was beautiful and comfortable! There was also a hair dryer! It's far from the center, so you either have to walk or take a bus, but there are a lot of buses, and the roads you walk on look beautiful, so I think it's a good idea.

The hotel service is very good, the lady is very nice, but the sanitation facilities really need to be improved, I hope it can be better and better. It is recommended that you book early, it is easy to miss 🌹

Thanks for the service

It's a typical hostel, but it's cheap, clean, and the staff are kind. Difficult points are about 30 minutes walk from the station, difficult to manage valuables because it is a hostel, and no breakfast.

Upper and lower bunks, a bit far from the city, others are good

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.

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 :))

Amazing YH. A pleasant walk into town. About 1.5 miles along the river or down an interesting street.

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.

A cheap & cheerful place to stay. Great private room, clean, warm & comfortable. Perfect location to explore the city of York.

First time staying in a hostel but will definitely use again. The experience was excellent, the staff were helpful and friendly the rooms were clean and was perfect for what we needed for the night

PROS: Location is great, grounds well kept, there is food and drink served, decent sized kitchen area, laundry (1 washer/1 dryer- staff failed to put note on the dryer or tell guests that it was out of order:( so I had to pack wet clothes), lg. common area with tables inside and out, and the staff is nice, though most were maybe too young to provide good customer service. Cons: This is NOT a place to stay if you have physical disabilities- it is a warren of halls, stairs, and doors leading to more halls, stairs, and doors. There is no elevator or convenient exit/ entrance to get from the main building to the strictly accommodation building. I found desiccated ice cream running down the wall that had probably been there for a few weeks/ month. They did come and clean it promptly, however upon remaking my bed, I noticed the duvet cover on my blanket had blood on it. Not mine. More than likely a stain that did not wash out, but glaringly obvious for whoever "changed" it. I had noticed a hair on my bed on my 1st night, but I thought maybe it was just the cleaners. At this point though, I felt like maybe this room hadn't been cleaned. The manager apologized via email, and the cleaner put a new sheet on the bed, but when I told him about the blood he blamed the laundry service. Maybe so, however NO ONE came to take it away? Disappointed by lack of customer service. I was offered a beverage as a token, but it was as I was leaving. I would stay here again, but would do a clean chec
