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.

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.

Not great for family, better if adult-not sleeping

Booked a private room for 5, including adults and kids. Room 25 is just under the dining room which was full of an adult group having boisterous fun until 1 or 2 am (only slowed after complaining because kids couldn’t sleep and asked to quiet down - not soundproof so felt like we were laying in middle of a bar or party). Adults just having fun - would have loved it on an adult trip in my 20’s. Knew as a hostel it would be simple beds and loud but assumed quiet hours at least by midnight but there were none, okay to be loud 24hrs. Beds were fine - bunks not creaky, bed quite firm but ok and private, comforter plush. Great shared bathroom just across from room, clean with 3 private showers and 2 toilets. Wish it had been communicated that towels were available for fee - wasn’t told and didn’t show in Hotels post or email. Location is great, walking distance of food, stores, river, activities. Parked in Blossom st car park a reasonable walking distance for reasonable £11. Again would do well for a girls trip or adult fun late into night. I didn’t sleep and kids didn’t much either so were miserable. York was so busy for holiday market after restless night it was too much for them so disappointing it was a bit of a wasted trip altogether.

경제적인 숙박

기차역 근처에서 정말 싼 가격에 숙박할 수 있습니다. 건물은 중후하고 침구류는 깨끗해보였습니다. 단점은 다인실 침대가 소리가 났고 안정적이지 않아 보이네요. 윗층 침대 옆 전원이 없어 충전이 불가능합니다. 복도 끝에 별도의 화장실 겸 샤워실이 있고 한 명만 들어갈 수 있습니다. 화장실은 깨끗했지만 샴푸나 바디워시는 없습니다. 배터리가 충분한 상태에서 잠만 자고 간다면 이곳만큼 좋은 곳이 없겠습니다. (기차역에서 가까운 것도 큰 장점) 그러나 그 이상을 바란다면 실망할 겁니다.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Good: excellent location, walkable distance from train station and town centre. Bunk beds had curtains and you could just close it and be private. Place was quiet. Bad: Staff at the reception were not friendly, at times rude and dismissive. The owner should come down sometimes to check it. The atmosphere wasn't friendly, not a good place to make new friends. There were tables, chairs and armchairs on the ground floor but people sat individually and spent time on their phones. Bedrooms very bad cleaned, dust pilled up under/side of beds. Terrible mattress. Toile/shower cubicle very small, shower plug blocked which created a pool every time I had a shower. Not very pleasant!
