Great private room, clean, warm & comfortable. Perfect location to explore the city of York. ##### Nina Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Kelly Aug 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Perfect location for York city, and beyond Lovely location, plenty of free parking. 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 #### Lesley Sep 9, 2024 Liked: Amenities Clean rooms and facilities.

Room was clean, quiet and comfortable and the hostel has great facilities. Located right next to a beautiful park. Great value for money, would return. ##### Nuala Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anand Raj Jan 13, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing experience! I came with my friends to York for the for the first time, and the stay here made the overall experience wonderful. Everything was perfect, and in the morning we had a nice breakfast. I would stay here again on my next trip to York :)) ##### Anand Raj Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Maureen Jan 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff was lovely and the accommodations were very clean and tidy. It was a very easy walk into the city center and we are glad we have the experience. The set up for the shower and toilet was tight, but it made sense if one is traveling with others who are not their family. ##### Maureen Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Deborah Dec 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Great Location in York. This is a well provisioned youth hostel with attentive staff.The location in York is excellent - it is a 20 minute walk alongside the river to the city centre. You can leave your car in the YHA car park. Noise from the heating system / extractor fans was an issue - it wasn't the quietest place. Also not cheap! Budget hotels can be cheaper than YHAs these days, but YHAs have kitchens and social spaces that make the difference. ##### Deborah Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen Feb 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great value for money-lovely location. Good location-short journey from city centre. Well equipped room-ensuite family with 2 sets of bunkbeds, seperate toilet and seperate shower room ensuite with sink in room and two mirrors. Beds have power supply and lamp for each bed. Additional two twin plug sockets near radiator. Mattress a little hard for my liking but ok. Clean bedding, beds made up-bring your own towel/s. The range of food on offer throughout the day looked great but due to allergies/intolerance didn't try anything from the menu. Polite and helpful staff. Clean communal areas with lots of games available for families or friends to use whilst onsite. Beautiful well kept grounds although persistent rain and wind meant I only looked at it through the windows. Hope to revisit later in the year. Recommend as great value for money. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/139F6B72C9DD9E7C5411D1C7270308E75925EAA31708558662992.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/54CA682ED16956BCF2AC4E80B66FCFA5D593DC5A1708558662614.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/309F9DB1489B9944B55CE14EF19CAA64DC46A0511708558737966.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/E71EE558DB6EB7ACEDA7C22C0E08AE4B231EDF701708558737254.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Karen Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amy Sep 17, 2023 PROS: Location is great, grounds well kept, there is food and drink served, decent sized kitchen area, laundry (1 washer/1 dryer- staff failed to put note on the dryer or tell guests that it was out of order:( so I had to pack wet clothes), lg. common area with tables inside and out, and the staff is nice, though most were maybe too young to provide good customer service. Cons: This is NOT a place to stay if you have physical disabilities- it is a warren of halls, stairs, and doors leading to more halls, stairs, and doors. There is no elevator or convenient exit/ entrance to get from the main building to the strictly accommodation building. I found desiccated ice cream running down the wall that had probably been there for a few weeks/ month. They did come and clean it promptly, however upon remaking my bed, I noticed the duvet cover on my blanket had blood on it. Not mine. More than likely a stain that did not wash out, but glaringly obvious for whoever "changed" it. I had noticed a hair on my bed on my 1st night, but I thought maybe it was just the cleaners. At this point though, I felt like maybe this room hadn't been cleaned. The manager apologized via email, and the cleaner put a new sheet on the bed, but when I told him about the blood he blamed the laundry service. Maybe so, however NO ONE came to take it away? Disappointed by lack of customer service. I was offered a beverage as a token, but it was as I was leaving. I would stay here again, but would do a clean chec ##### Amy Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lucy Dec 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Clean room, helpful and friendly staff ##### Lucy Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Super Dec 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff, comfortable environment ##### Super Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Dec 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Short walk into city centre & great parking . ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Dec 15, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place, good food and reasonably priced ##### John Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort I will recommend to my friends ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marcel May 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very goof atmospehere. I shared a 4 bed room with my daughter for 50 which is a really good deal and the 25' walk along the river to get there was very pleasant. ##### Marcel Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Adrian Aug 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient and pleasant location A very practical location for those happy with a safe/direct once mile walk to the city centre (or just round the corner for anyone attending cricket or rugby matches at York Sports Club, like we were). 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 Mar 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It's was much more than we expected for the price we paid.

Definitely go back and will continue to use others around the country. ##### Nicole Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Peterborough by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Peterborough.h281577.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Milton Keynes](https://www.expedia.ca/Milton-Keynes-Hotels-Novotel-Milton-Keynes.h892420.Hotel-Information) > > [Camelot Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Tintagel-Hotels-Camelot-Castle-Hotel.h8083111.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [The Grand, York](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-The-Grand.h3697588.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Peterborough.h2928593.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel York](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-York-City-Center.h1005.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature London Gatwick Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Crawley-Hotels-Sandman-Signature-London-Gatwick-Hotel.h6579.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h7234788.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Lumley Castle Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Le-Street-Hotels-Lumley-Castle-Hotel.h175571.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Woodbridge-Hotels-The-Crown-Hotel.h520172.Hotel-Information)
