Safestay York Micklegate

My husband stayed with friends this weekend. I don’t understand the negatives as he was full of praise for the venue. The rooms were clean, the staff friendly and the location perfect. Biggest measure … would he stay again…. Yes he said, without hesitation

What a find! , Great Place ! / Great Location! / Great Staff! / Fantastic Doble room with en Suite / We really enjoyed out 2 Nights there to see the York Xmas Fair! / Kettles and tea in the room. Excellent clean comfy bed / A clean En Suite Cubicle ....Only Downside ! Utterly Non Working Internet ( Wi Fi ) .....got logged on but nothing ever connected . it was dead as anything . Still a Fab Please though ! ( Stayed 24to 26 November 2025 , Thanks Staff you were lovely!

Perfect location to be near the train and a lovely walk to sight seeing! Loved every person we interacted with during our stay! Clean rooms, service for storage for luggage for your checkout! Thank you for the great services and hosting us! I would recommend more towels to be provided, bath mat, and good soaps. Maybe a better chair as ours was a bit overused. I wouldn’t charge competitive rates to hotels because of these.

Location is good. Property is well maintained but on the basement area floor need a bit of attention. Breakfast items should be mentioned in listing. I was expecting some vegeterian options too along side of regular continental breakfast. Washrooms were very clean even being shared. Local transport was just 4-5 min walk. We enjoyed our stay and will recommend to friends.

Never stayed in a hostel before, I was recommended to try it,so booked the York one for a mother/daughter Xmas market weekend. On arrival we were greeted with a smile and 2 nice ladies, booking in was so easy, but pleased remember who ever booked it take photo ID, so many who was before us didn't and caused a delay, if you have mobility problems you'll need to tell them as there is a lot of stairs, we booked a 6 woman only room, the beds are good but bring an extra pillow with you for comfort, the room is spacious and has a little shower room as an ensuite, the room is lovely and warm, we had a mix of ladies in our room from America to Scandinavia, all really nice, surprisingly nighttime was quiet, you can hear voices and the odd door banging but that's due to the people not the hostels fault. I was surprised at who actually used the hostel from an older age group to the very young, even what looked like a football team, it's ideal if you have younger children too. In all stay was very good and said we will definitely use them again.

Very clean, location was amazing and very close to everywhere we wanted to go. The dorm-style still had some privacy because of the curtains around the bed, which I liked very much. Would definitely recommend to other people coming to York!

Nope. Central heating was way too high, and on the top bunk I was so hot I physically couldn't sleep. Went downstairs and the person told me to adjust the radiator in the room, but when I went back up it wasn't even on - it was a central heating problem and they weren't even aware. I had to use my spare clothes as wet towels to cool myself down to get to sleep. At about 2am the heating changed to aircon and that was better but up until then it wasn't good. No free tea/coffee or amenities. Good price - but there's a reason why.

The location is good, and the staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. However, I encountered two operational issues that negatively impacted my stay: 1. Key Card Issues: The key card was frequently malfunctioning. I had to return to the reception desk to have it fixed or reactivated about half the time, which was inconvenient and time-consuming. 2. Locker Box Design: The provided security locker was far too large, and its opening mechanism took up a significant amount of space, reducing the overall usable area for other roommates as well.
