An alright hostel

No kitchen or fridge and toilets that were not great. But cages for stuff under beds (you had to purchase a padlock) and curtains on the bunk beds which were appreciated.

10/10 Exceptional

The owner was very helpful and friendly. You can refill your water bottle and hot water is also available at the reception. Pleanty of option for dinner and breakfast. Easy access from train station, about 5-min walk. No elevator which is usual in the UK. Highly recommended.

Great place to stay if you are on a budget.
Daniel, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

It was a lovely building & communal areas were good. However the TV blew up as soon as I put it on & was kaput. It was lonely in my room with minimal facilities & staff were barely helpful. Other guests spent 20 mins getting the TV in the dining room to work. I'll be in Montrose next week in a single room at exactly half the price of this one so not good value.
Christine, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nima, the staff, is really friendly and attentive. You can leave your luggage here for just 3£/day. Great location, close to the station. The room is clean. There’s a cage that you can put your belongings in and lock for safety. The only downside is there is no electrical outlet for the top bunk. Roommates can be quite noisy in the early morning, but that how the dormitory is.

8/10 Very good

The place is conveniently located to exploring the city.
Una, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A gorgeous Georgian mansion converted into comfortable accommodations. Curving staircases and stuccoed ceilings. The staff are genuinely kind and helpful. Much more characterful than a cheap chain hotel.

Ray, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

My stay at Micklegate would have been a much better experience if it was not for the last evening. During my last evening at Micklegate Hostel, I was awakening several times by a group of adults and kids that were staying there. They appeared to be a very large group of teenagers and their coaches. For some reason the front desk staff ignored all the noise that was going on in the hallways and rooms on the upper floors. I had to walk past all the loud teenager and their coaches and complain to the front desk attendant. Apparently, he made them aware that it was late and they must stop the noise.

Amazing decorations. The bathroom and toilet are in the bedroom for 10 people, it was difficult to use for turn and noise.
Yoko, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked the general look of this place.
Elijah, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Okay, for short stay but noisy

Good location for central York and reasonably priced for a two bunk bed room. Building is old, floors and walls echo with sound of inconsiderate people making noise late into the night.

Booked a one night stay in a private triple room (room 15). Room was on the top floor and very quiet, clean and comfortable. Will not hesitate using again next time I need to stay in York.

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.
