We stayed here when doing The Way of The Roses Coast to Coast cycle ride, it was very convenient for us with the only slight problem being the distance to the city centre. The hostel is situated on the cycle route and provides excellent value for money when compared to staying in a hotel. The building itself is old, full... More

On arrival we waited 10minutes to be checked in so not a great start. We were 3 woman (in our 20's) and were in a 8 bed dorm, when we got to the dorm (room 3) we found that another 4 people were already settled in and had taken up all the available lockers in the room, the others either... More

We have stayed here before and after much debating ended up staying again as I couldn't find anywhere else in York or the particular night we needed. All was going well as we had a nice clean room this time but we had an early start the next day as my husband was competing in a triathlon so went to... More

Interesting isn't it, what could be seen as a disadvantage (at first) ended up being the most enjoyable part of this hostel. That being its distance out of town. I walked the route along the river half a dozen times in my few days here and loved it. Admittedly I was here during the longest day of the year (22/6/10)... More

The room we stayed in was full, all ten beds occupied, yet we didn't feel particularly cramped. There was some storage space and if you are thinking of staying here, don't forget to pack a padlock to lock your cupboard. The... More

I stayed at this hostel for 4 days in October of 2009.First of all it should be said that it is located about a mile outside of the actual city walls of York.I actually liked that! It was a nice quiet location by the river.And the walk into town was alongside the river [ possibly a canal] .It made a... More

Stayed for one night in Aug 09.I think it depends on where you are in the hostel but our room was damp,the carpet was stained and you stuck to it,beds hard,toilet next to us stank. Breakfast ok but packed up at 9.30am on the dot and coffee pot taken away quickly. Cost us £80 for a family room,outrageous for non... More

Toilets are really unclean next to the rooms and we checked in the same time as... More
