Free parking (enter reg details at reception to qualify) and the lovely adjacent park are extra bonuses. The staff are excellent and the food was very good, with exceptional value £1 meals for kids. The rooms are basic as you'd expect for a YHA and we had a bit of noise disturbance from a nearby family because the sound echoes down the corridors, but that was just pot luck of who else was also there that night. In the en suite rooms, it's worth taking off your shoes before using the sink, because it's unusually built into the run off of the shower basin, so that avoids treading dirty or damp footprints everywhere. ##### Adrian Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicole 22 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It's was much more than we expected for the price we paid. Everything about the place was amazing. Definitely go back and will continue to use others around the country. ##### Nicole Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daniel 12 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Very good accommodation for the price Really nice place to stay. Clean comfy room, decent kitchen, very well maintained. No complaints apart from the pillows were a bit too hard. Will certainly use again. Almost perfect! ##### Daniel Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie 27 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff were so friendly and the facilities excellent.

Needed a last-minute place to stay the night whilst I was at a weekend event in York. Had a pleasant experience parking and getting in, the shared toilets and shower were clean. The only issue was that one of the bunk beds had built-in lights and outlets that didn't work. I checked and they were plugged in and switched on at the wall, but there was no light, and the outlets wouldn't charge my phone. Would've been nice if there was a direct bus route between the hostel and the city centre as well, but that's York's problem. ##### Tim Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nina 5 Dec 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay to explore York A cheap & cheerful place to stay. Great private room, clean, warm & comfortable. Perfect location to explore the city of York. ##### Nina Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James 21 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Our family of five stayed here for two nights while visiting York and couldn’t be happier with our stay. We walked to the old city several times each day and the breakfast was great! ##### James Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lesley 9 Sept 2024 Liked: Amenities Clean rooms and facilities.

Lots of outdoor seating as well as plenty of tables, chairs and sofas inside. This is a very old building, so the floors squeak and the beds move when people are walking around. Room HO1 has a very squeaky door, which has woken us all up every time someone needs to go out to the toilet. I did mention to staff a spot of WD40 would do it, but it wasn't sorted. The door locks are also electronically locked, meaning they have to be slammed to close, not ideal when everyone else is trying to sleep. The toilets and showers are outside of the room and very small, but I never had to wait. The kitchen is quite small for the number of guests and can get extremley busy on the evening. These are all factual comments, not critisisms, as it's more than sufficient for a hostel. I would book again, I think Windermere set the standard for me! 🙂 ##### Kelly Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne 5 Dec 2023 Liked: Amenities Not our first visit and definitely not our last. ##### Joanne Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gareth 20 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Couldn’t ask for more.
