Central and convenient.
Close to the station and within the city walls, so great as pedestrians. Plenty of food and drink nearby. Loads of character.

The property is very attractive, the whole idea of using the history is good but.....10 people in a dorm with one tiny capsule en suite is not really adequate and it was not well maintained. Too few waste bins in the dorm and bathroom. People in top bunks had poor access to plugs. No free tea or coffee available. Generally a Hostel that is trying to be an hotel.

It was the worst place I've stayed in my entire life, the shower didn't work on any of the days I was there, I made 6 complaints and nothing was resolved, there simply wasn't hot water, the bathroom and room were only cleaned one day Anyway, thank God I'm in another hotel here in York, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Horrendous Hostel
The place needs kitchetes, a tv room and laundry facilities. Strong rules about losing your accommodation if you are found to make too much noise after 12 pm. The place needs a deep clean and the shower facilities need improving. Shared toilets are a bad idea and must be super uncomfortable for women.

Reasonable experience for such a low price
It's exactly what you would expect from a cheap hostel in the middle of a busy city. I needed somewhere to sleep and I got it. I did however have a couple of issues whilst I was staying. My locker was positioned somewhere where it was inaccessible. As I was staying one night It didn't bother me too much as I had 1 bag with few valuables and I slept with it in my bunk. But where I staying longer and had more baggage, it could have been a problem. Also the toilet door kept jamming in my shared room. That definitely needs looking at. On the whole though, it's a reasonable experience for such a low price.

Overall, a nice stay
Overall the hostel was great. Some slight unclean areas and maybe an investment is the bathroom areas could be better. Common areas such as halls and lobby were up to date and tidy. The hostel seemed very quiet for a saturday, some noise on the Sunday morning but it was no different to staying in the usual hotel chains apart from the bathroom size in our dorm. The staff were really friendly and welcoming. The location was great for the York night life

Staff, Cleanliness & Food
Staff where lovely, although the room was dirty, floor had not been swept, bathroom sink had toothpaste all over the basin, toilet had clearly been used, shower had a red stain on the floor. Food was mediocre only good thing was the one young lady that was at the bar giving drinks.
