York provides a selection of quality hostels and guesthouses, catering to budget travellers seeking both social atmospheres and comfortable, affordable accommodation within easy reach of the city's historic attractions.
Type: Hostel
Upon arriving at Astor York, I found a welcoming, family-like atmosphere where staff are exceptionally friendly. It feels like a home away from home, with guests often looking out for each other. There is an on-site bar, creating social opportunities, and I appreciated the comfortable beds in the public spaces. The location is slightly away from the city centre's busiest spots but remains within walking distance to explore everything.
Type: Hostel
Safestay York provides a secure and inviting environment, especially beneficial for solo travellers. Its central location makes it easy to reach the city centre and the train station on foot, yet it remains peaceful, away from the immediate bar scene. The rooms are cosy with comfortable beds and a touch of antique charm, fostering a relaxing, homely feel. A communal dining hall is available for breakfast, encouraging interaction among guests.
Type: Hostel
My experience at YHA York was of a high-quality youth hostel that prioritizes safety and comfort over a party atmosphere. The staff are consistently friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant stay. Facilities are excellent, including a coffee shop, a garden, and a games room, offering various spaces to relax. Although a short walk from the city centre, it provides great value for money and a quiet retreat near the River Ouse.
Type: Boutique Hostel / Budget Hotel
The Fort Boutique Hostel stands out for its blend of hostel affordability and boutique hotel style. I found its location unbeatable, right inside the city walls and just steps from vibrant bars and restaurants, with major attractions under a 10-minute walk. The atmosphere is excellent, enhanced by a downstairs restaurant and bar that offer discounts to guests. The rooms themselves are uniquely decorated, adding a distinctive charm to the stay.
