Safestay York Micklegate

Good value for money, Hostel just on outskirts of city centre, near train/bus. Near Punchbowl Whetherspoons, plus No 84 Sandwich Shop 3 doors down. (Huge Breakfast Bacon Bap £3.50 in May 2025) instead of £8 Continental one. A once sought after gorgeous Georgian house still featuring some original details with 3 storey’s of multi bedrooms of bunk beds (lower ones have privacy black out curtains, en-suite , NO Lift! Albeit bit noisy when some inconsiderate late night arrivals don’t bother to whisper or take off their heavy footwear on the wooden dormitory flooring, or don’t try to quietly open and close the clunky metal door fasteners, or use their mobile phones to locate the bunk numbers or slowly pull out the ample under-bed metal cages on wheels (take own Padlock, or hire or buy one). NB: Hire or buy towels (£3 or 6) from Hostel or …go to local Charity shops in centre (Colliergate St) or in Primark . Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff on Reception. Some limited immediate SOS items or snacks from behind bar. (Toothbrush/laundry pods/locks etc ) Be patient, respectful and take ear plugs and eye mask if light sleeper in a mixed Dorm.

The location is good. The room I stayed in was nice-mixed room. Great size lockers under the bed. Good social space too. Check out time was good being 11am. Really pretty building and nice to have signs up to tell you the history I love how there's curtains over the beds too to give you privacy

Great location few mins walks to river , railway or town centre . You can start your walk of the walls from the top of the street . There plenty of little pubs to eat and drink near by . The hostel itself is very cosy I found it quiet enough . I didn’t purchase breakfast but it look very nice . There are no cooking facility’s but that’s made clear on the FAQ section . I stayed in room 24 ground floor and it seemed quiet enough every night . I would stay here again . It brilliant value for money . Staff very friendly a pint on draught is very reasonable .

The staff were very helpful and responsive. There is the possibility to lock valuable items in a cage with a padlock, which is a big plus, and the doors/floors make almost no creaking sound, which is refreshing. The location is super convenient, close to station and pubs/cafes/restaurants and the city centre, yet it is not noisy at all. Plus the interior is really amazing!

Great location and wonderful building!
