Safestay York Micklegate

L'emplacement est super et le personnel est très gentil mais si vous cherchez l'ambiance des auberges de jeunesse ce n'est pas le bon endroit. Pas d'ambiance, aucun équipement dans la cuisine (ni micro-ondes, ni bouilloire), les salles de bain sont sales et uniquement des salles de bain par chambre et pas communes.

Just horrid.

This hostel is a scam. I stayed in the 4 bed and somehow paid $50 a night meanwhile the others in my room paid $18…I asked to be refunded to pay the accurate price and was told no. I booked 2 months in advance. My roommates couldnt believe the rate I paid. You’re better off getting a hotel. The 4 bed needs to have an accurate description. Its the old “light closet” and is the only room on the floor with its own very small bathroom requiring a code. Also it took over 40 min to check in. D...

The dorm bathroom was filthy to the point we didn’t feel comfortable using it, the common area toilets were slightly better. The sheets were reminiscent of the paper film used in doctor’s offices. The guy they had covering reception stood up without saying anything while we were in the middle of asking about luggage storage, though the two women we spoke to were nice and helpful. Despite the location being good, the street is very loud due to the pubs nearby, so sleeping was a little difficu...

As two 20 year old women we didn't feel safe here. We shared our room with 3 men above 40. One of them was drunk and aggressive, another was homeless and job hunting. In general there are mainly older people in the hostel. Our room smelled very bad and the window only opened an inch. The bathroom was really dirty. If we had been travelling alone we would have left. Plus point is the kind staff and the good location. Not worth the money! Don’t go there, especially when travelling alone.

It’s not very Safestay

My sister and I booked an all, female dorm at this location for February 2025. While in our beds around midnight we heard two male voices outside the door, and they tried to enter using a key card. One man said, isn't this a women's dorm? The other man said, yes, I requested all female. This man then came into the room with a flashlight and took a bunk next to my sister. After we heard him snoring, we told reception downstairs and they woke him up to move him. they said it was a computer error.

I ended up not staying at the property due to safety issues. Was promised a refund within 72 hrs, but its been 3 months, and I still haven't received my refund. One of the staff was extremely rude

Good location but that's the only good thing. Broken shower, smelly room (sweat and people eating in the room). I was woken up by the plumber moving my bed while I was still there. The second night there were people screaming in the room next to mine. No access to a socket from the top bunk. Lots of room for improvement. The staff was nice but it's not enough to change my impression of this hostel.

shower was ice cold so had to go to work dirty. no ear plugs provided two people in the room snoring at once was awake all night. no microwave or oven for cooking.size of bathroom was 3 feet squared no refund given

Na jedną noc ok

Great bargain stay location was great for me clean bedding toilet n shower room clean super value great job 👍

For the price, I got what I expected- basic accommodation. Unfortunately too noisy for me from other visitors which is not the establishments fault but the culture of clientele.

Pleasant. Cleaning. Knowledgeable

Good place to stay but they are very strict with their rules- no checking in early without paying an extra fee even if the room is ready, and you need to pay to store each bag even if you're staying. Seems like for the price they could have a little bit of flexibility for those who are staying, would definately inprove the customer service.

The property was decent and it was a good price, but I did notice holes in the bed sheets. The lady at reception when I got there was a bit rude, but the other staff members were nice. I also felt like the breakfast was overpriced.

Washroom felt like stepping into a RV trailers washroom. Because there’s no kitchen I wish there was at least a kettle and a microwave. The stairs are very slanted so if you’re afraid of heights or drunk prepare yourself for the climb. Bed was very comfortable.

loved it. so cozy and convenient

atención muy amable, carece de algunas instalaciones como por ejemplo cocina o microondas lo cual me complico para cocinarme mi comida pero siempre estubieron dispuestos a darme agua caliente en la recepción. las camas muy cómodas, el baño de la habitación algo pequeño. la ubicación está muy bien por qué está a solo 3 cuadras de la estación de trenes y aunas pocas cuadras del centro.

Great location, but one of the worst hostels I’ve been to. When I arrived, the only thing clean was my bed, arguably the most important part. However, the bathroom was very dirty and without toilet roll and soap for almost two days. Only just when I left it was cleaned. The room was hot & smelly, and I’ve had three really bad nights of sleep. I get it, it’s cheap, but a clean space isn’t too much to ask for. Also important to note that you should buy your own water as the refill tank is ...

Had a good stay. Staff were friendly. Place was spotlessly clean. Breakfast was yummy Bedroom was warm & bed was comfy

Staying there was a really nice experience, the building so beautiful and lots of stories about each room, I recommend to stay there to feel the atmosphere and made a trip back in time. Everything is walking distance, the from desk people are expectacular.

Not the cleanest, toilet rolls not refilled frequently enough. Beds had curtains but top bunk was open at the top so let in light anyway which kinda defeats the purpose. Didn’t have the breakfast but seemed very overpriced for what it was. Location very good.

The beds had privacy curtains which was amazing, the shower did overflow with water pretty quickly but that is my only fault with the property. Staff were very helpful and kind.

My stay was comfortable, despite the constant flatulence & snoring from other guests. You get what you pay for and this was very affordable for me. Conveniently located in the heart of York. A ten minute walk from the train station & a ten to fifteen minute walk from all of the bars & tourist attractions. The friendly and helpful staff ensured a clean and tidy environment. The hotel was picturesque, housed in a grand old building and yet was updated with vibrant colours, motifs & furniture.

Clean and comfortable rooms, with friendly and supportive staff. I recommend it for anyone considering a short stay.

Great location. Rooms are small, with lockers under the bunks that can be hard to access and take up space, when you drag it out. I stayed in winter so it was quiet, which was nice but made it harder to meet people. The bathroom is very small, so I found it easier to get changed at my bed with the privacy curtain. I was only on the second and had really poor wifi connnection. I would say still comfortable for how reasonable it is priced with a central location and would be ideal for a short stay

There’s no free coffee or tea, and zero kitchen amenities—not even a microwave. Obviously they want you to purchase their food which I found grossly overpriced. 8 pounds for breakfast just seems outrageous especially for what it was. They also will charge you 20 pounds if you mistake your bed, and 3 pounds for the washer and dryer separately (so 6 pounds) and you have to go down to the basement. I don’t know it was cheap and conveniently located but I just felt like they offered hardly any...

My partner and I booked a 10 bed mixed dorm. The room door didn’t lock, the bathroom is tiny, nowhere to rest a toiletry bag.The first person to come in was a just eats driver, made me feel uncomfortable that it wasn’t just travellers staying. We came back later, there was an old man in his 80’s who stays there every other week (the lady at the front desk said). He smelt extremely unwashed. His stench filled the room, made us feel sick. No other rooms available we had to leave. Not safe do...

Not too far away from the main area and very clean. The lobby has a bar but just know that tradies and other people were using the bar as well not just people from the hostel which meant there were a few drunk men there. Ladies at the front desk were lovely and met some fantastic people in my room. Not a very social hostel in the common areas though.
