Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    We found the bar expensive. 1 1/2 pints of Boddingtons and 1 75ml of white wine, we picked the cheapest one. We were charged £20.

    Great location, nice friendly welcome. For the price in terms of other establishments in centrtral York, it was value for money. Rooms and facilities are dated but were as expected when booking. Basic but clean with kettle in room and lots of coffee and tea available. If on a budget and you understand this is a budget establishment, it's perfect. Cheap and cheerful.

    Very family-like, beyond friendly staff. Alot of the customers are residential which gives it a homely like aura. Everyone looks out for eachother. As far as hostels go, this is by far the best and safest. Great value for money, perfect for cheap reliable business trips.
