Lovely location, plenty of free parking. Lots of outdoor seating as well as plenty of tables, chairs and sofas inside. This is a very old building, so the floors squeak and the beds move when people are walking around. Room HO1 has a very squeaky door, which has woken us all up every time someone needs to go out to the toilet. I did mention to staff a spot of WD40 would do it, but it wasn't sorted. The door locks are also electronically locked, meaning they have to be slammed to close, not ideal when everyone else is trying to sleep. The toilets and showers are outside of the room and very small, but I never had to wait. The kitchen is quite small for the number of guests and can get extremley busy on the evening. These are all factual comments, not critisisms, as it's more than sufficient for a hostel. I would book again, I think Windermere set the standard for me! 🙂

A very practical location for those happy with a safe/direct once mile walk to the city centre (or just round the corner for anyone attending cricket or rugby matches at York Sports Club, like we were). Free parking (enter reg details at reception to qualify) and the lovely adjacent park are extra bonuses. The staff are excellent and the food was very good, with exceptional value £1 meals for kids. The rooms are basic as you'd expect for a YHA and we had a bit of noise disturbance from a nearby family because the sound echoes down the corridors, but that was just pot luck of who else was also there that night. In the en suite rooms, it's worth taking off your shoes before using the sink, because it's unusually built into the run off of the shower basin, so that avoids treading dirty or damp footprints everywhere.

Needed a last-minute place to stay the night whilst I was at a weekend event in York. Had a pleasant experience parking and getting in, the shared toilets and shower were clean. The only issue was that one of the bunk beds had built-in lights and outlets that didn't work. I checked and they were plugged in and switched on at the wall, but there was no light, and the outlets wouldn't charge my phone. Would've been nice if there was a direct bus route between the hostel and the city centre as well, but that's York's problem.
