Overall Ratings & Reviews YHA York - Hostel

It's was much more than we expected for the price we paid. Everything about the place was amazing. Definitely go back and will continue to use others around the country.

Really nice place to stay. Clean comfy room, decent kitchen, very well maintained. No complaints apart from the pillows were a bit too hard. Will certainly use again. Almost perfect!

Great place, good food and reasonably priced

Couldn’t ask for more. Staff were amazing. Good food and drink served and a brilliant cappuccino in the morning. Should be more expensive. Highly recommend!

Staff were so friendly and the facilities excellent. Will definitely be back.

Really uncomfortable bed...back is hurting ..pillows not comfortable....dirty toilets n showers really not very nice at all..window left open in bathroom bees buzzing in bathroom had to use other toilet ...internet not working....disappointed overall ...staff were pleasant

Clean rooms and facilities. Lovely staff. Good location.

Great stay and friendly staff.

Lovely shared areas but the room was poor. The bathroom fan would not go off all night which was very noisy. The bed lights and charge points did not work. Vegan breakfast options were very limited and the server did not know was vegan so I got a refund and ate in York instead.

Run efficiently with friendly staff

Lovely, well-appointed hostel just a 20 min walk from York city centre along the river. Room was clean, quiet and comfortable and the hostel has great facilities. Located right next to a beautiful park. Great value for money, would return.

Good location-short journey from city centre. Well equipped room-ensuite family with 2 sets of bunkbeds, seperate toilet and seperate shower room ensuite with sink in room and two mirrors. Beds have power supply and lamp for each bed. Additional two twin plug sockets near radiator. Mattress a little hard for my liking but ok. Clean bedding, beds made up-bring your own towel/s. The range of food on offer throughout the day looked great but due to allergies/intolerance didn't try anything from the menu. Polite and helpful staff. Clean communal areas with lots of games available for families or friends to use whilst onsite. Beautiful well kept grounds although persistent rain and wind meant I only looked at it through the windows. Hope to revisit later in the year. Recommend as great value for money.

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.

Not our first visit and definitely not our last.

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
