Convenient and pleasant location

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.

Really nice place, wish I could've stayed longer!

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.

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.
