I would recommend a stay here for the fabulous central location. The room was clean and check in instructions were very clear. Please be aware there was no reception as such, but if needed you can leave your luggage at the bar next door, and there were emergency contacts listed. We didn't need any of this but good to know. There were a couple of bottles of water in the room and some discount vouchers, all of which were an unexpected bonus. The kitchenette was handy if you wanted to make a drink or heat up a microwave meal. The only downside was the noise from the bar below, however earplugs were provided. We had to keep the windows closed but a large fan was in the room so the heat wasn't a big issue. Excellent value for money for a clean, comfortable room in a great location.

Paper thin walls
Good location and sizeable room, but not value for money. Easy check in. The sheets weren't clean. Expected the noise to come from the bars below, but the noise was predominantly those in rooms next door - walls are paper thin.

Lovely room...a little loud!
Great little hostel in the middle of york. The street is very busy and lined with bars. There was loud music until late which we could hear but didn't effect us too much as our room was at the back in the city walls room. Very clean and comfortable and what we expected from the price paid. A much cheaper option than other hotels but I wouln't recommend if youwant an ealy night!

Our holiday was amazing. The hostel far exceeded expectation. The ocean room came with an ensuite. We had fresh towels and toiletries. There were complimentary tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and botted water. Our greeter carried my suitcase up the stairs for me. There was even a lavender mister, large fan, and super comfy beds. I was also able to leave my suitcase with them. The staff were ever so nice and helpful. Definitely recommend. Definitely visit again. The location is superb. Not more than a 5 minute walk to everywhere. Thank you so much for our stay

Weekend stay
Fantastic find - could not be more central and very cheap! The staff were all incredibly helpful from the girl who answered the phone when I rang asking where to park (she offered to send someone to pick up my bag as I couldn’t drive right up to the hostel) to the man who showed us to our room. The room was very comfortable and clean - I was worried about light and noise as it is so central but neither was a problem at all. The kitchen provided for guests use was clean and very well equipped. The bonus was a 20% food discount in the lovely tapas bar below and Kennedys next door.

Good central location near Minster, great for Christmas markets. Check-In and breakfast available in KENNEDY's bar next door with 20% off food/drinks for hotel guests. Very clean boutique style hostel. Had Ensuite room at rear with Wetroom. Only drawback was noise from KENNEDY's bar next door (Ear plugs are provided in the rooms).

2/10 Poor

Great location but noisy and hot
Don’t stay here unless you are prepared to stay up until 2AM due to noise from 3 adjoining bars. No AC so floor 3 location gets quite warm. Perfect location for York but not much else going for it.

Right in the middle of town, best location
Amazing central location, with non-stop action, 24/7 noise and activity. Many of the rooms are adjacent to the 24 hour bar smoking patio. I wondered why they provide ear plugs on your bed. Even with them, it was quite loud. The rooms are dated, and could use better cleaning, windows need some improvement. Towels are provided and changed every day, bathroom is good and clean. As a hostel, the price is good, but for private rooms, you may be wise to choose a normal hotel.

Great location, felt like a home not a hostel
I stayed in one of the rooms with a living room and kitchen. It felt like a beautiful old apartment and not a hostel. I loved it. Location is perfect. Good food (and discounted for guests) downstairs. Overall better experience than expected.
