Safestay York Micklegate

Safe place. Staffs are friendly (esp. Kinley and Oliva). Very supportive. The location is convenient for bus, train, city walk - less than 1 mile to everywhere you need to go in York. Highly recommended, esp. for those who do solo travel.

Stayed in the private room with en-suite. Spacious and clean room, very large and comfy bed, I didn’t mind the stairs to 3rd floor. Very good value for money. Lovely & helpful staff. Very central. Loved it.

I had a really lovely stay here. The hostel is in a great location, very close to the city centre and easy to reach on foot. The building itself is beautiful, cosy and full of character, with a charming old-fashioned feel. The cleanliness was 10/10 for me. Considering that it is a hostel with people constantly coming and going, I was genuinely impressed by how clean everything was, especially compared with other hostels I have stayed in. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the common area is comfortable and cosy. There is no kitchen, but breakfast is available in the morning at a reasonable price. There can be a little noise from the street outside, but overall this is an excellent place to stay. I would especially recommend it to women travelling solo. I felt safe and comfortable during my stay. One extra tip: don’t spend your whole trip only in the city. If you are visiting between May and September, take one of the longer local bus routes towards the coast. The journey itself is beautiful, with wonderful countryside and coastal views, and it is a great way to see another side of the area. I would definitely stay here again.

Good location nearby railway station and the staff are friendly and help a lot when doing check in

The location is excellent and the bed was comfortable. It was also very quiet at night so I had a good night’s sleep. However, my check-in experience was disappointing. I arrived at around 5:30 pm and waited outside for more than 15 minutes. I rang the bell several times but no one answered. After I finally got inside, there was still no receptionist and I had to wait longer before I could check in. The bathroom also needs more attention. After people showered, the floor was very wet and dirty and there was nothing available to clean or dry it. Overall, the location and room were good, but the check-in process and bathroom cleanliness could definitely be improved.
