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.

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.

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.

Okay, for short stay but noisy

Good location for central York and reasonably priced for a two bunk bed room. Building is old, floors and walls echo with sound of inconsiderate people making noise late into the night.
