Hostels in North Yorkshire, United Kingdom

The interior decoration of this youth hostel is nice and the price is relatively affordable. Because there are many tourists in York on weekends, the beds are limited. I reluctantly booked a mixed room for 6 people, but I was unlucky because I seemed to be the only woman in the room, and there was a man who snored loudly, talked to himself, and got up at 3 o'clock in the morning and turned on the light, which made the sleeping experience very bad. It should be noted that the toilet and bathroom in this youth hostel are very small and are shared by 6 people in the room, not the kind of shared on the same floor, which is very inconvenient.

2519 Great value for money Review of Astor York Pending review I was heading to York for the Christmas market and, knowing that I would spend most of my time out and about, wanted my accommodation to be as inexpensive as possible. A weekend at the Astor York set me back less than £40, and I would say I'm grateful I stayed here for more reasons than just the low price. I hadn't realised that the Christmas market closes quite early, and I found myself back at the hostel earlier than I anticipated. Luckily, there is a common area where you can watch Netflix with the other guests – a nice treat at the end of a cold day. I was admittedly a bit taken aback by the very old-fashioned bathrooms that look straight out of the 1960s. But the hostel was clean and well-maintained. My 30-bed dorm did not feel too crowded, and I was grateful for the cages under beds. My one gripe about the dorm room would be a lack of sockets and lights at beds; it was impossible to charge my phone as I was on the top bunk, so I had to charge it in the common area instead. While I only needed to use the fridge, it looked like the kitchen was well-stocked and spacious. There was also a little bar that did happy hour, though I never made it back early enough to take advantage. The location is a bit of a walk from York's city centre. However, it's quite an easy route, and it's also convenient for accessing the train station. I recommend getting up and out a bit earlier and walking along the ancient wall from Micklegate, which is not far from the hostel. Overall, my stay was great value for money and I'd recommend Astor York to any solo travellers.

It's a typical hostel, but it's cheap, clean, and the staff are kind. Difficult points are about 30 minutes walk from the station, difficult to manage valuables because it is a hostel, and no breakfast.

We enjoyed our stay. It's not the best place I've ever stayed but not the worst either. Only a 10 minute walk from the train station. Very central, not far from York Minster and The Shambles, definitely a great location. Nice pubs, shops and cafes near by as well. Our room was River Ouse it was small but had everything we needed. Decent bed (bit firm for me fine for hubby) it had tea/coffee, hair dryer and iron. Toiletries in the bathroom and the shower was good though wee black bit fell off it when in use. The silicone could be doing with being replaced, it made the otherwise lovely bathroom look a bit grubby. It is a bit noisy so my sleep was a bit disrupted but given the location it was fine. Breakfast was good! Not a lot on the continental but the cooked breakfast was great. My husband raved about the sausages. Staff from checking in, serving drinks and at breakfast were all fabulous. Very friendly and attentive. Also the pub is lovely.

They are all girls who love to be clean. It’s good, the world cannot exist without girls. It’s just that it’s hard to find it when it’s dark. The train was delayed for the first time and I couldn’t find the way late at night. Google Navigation sucked me and went around to the other side. There was also a little fox with green eyes. It was the only one at night. Just the green eyes are dazzling, and the hair on the hair is standing on end. The next day I discovered that the road next to it was a cemetery. It's quite scary. It's easy to find at dawn.

This pub has a four-star AA listing, but on current standards it needs a re-grade. Entrance to the bedrooms via the street is via a rotting canopy, unswept floor and dirty, torn carpet. Our room was clean - if you didn't examine the edges of the carpet too closely - but cramped, with an ill-fitting window that rattled in the night. The bathroom tiles were cracked and the only shelf to place toiletries was missing. The only availability for an evening meal was 5.30 or 6pm and breakfast was a not very holiday-friendly 8-9. The cooked-to-order breakfast was good, but there was no choice of fruit or yoghurt to start, just orange juice and boxes of cereal. The outside seating area was scruffy with containers of dead plants and some plastic flowers suspended from the trellis, with overflowing waste containers in the car park. This is no reflection on the staff who we found to be helpful and friendly and the place seemed to be busy with evening meals. But the whole experience compared unfavourably with a nearby pub that was well run, with excellent food and a lovely garden.

No checking desk so you just have to ask at the Bar, pillows weren’t to my liking but that’s my personal preference. Otherwise great place to stay staff were friendly and helpful and the place was clean food and drink were good and the room was really nice but no view. 5 minutes by car down to the front or jump on the bus opposite really enjoyed our stay. What I did like was the bike station out side to repair or work on your cycle 🚲 including pumping your tyres

The market town Knaresborough looked an ideal stopping point en route to London by car, just off the A1 and with stunning views from the castle which was a stronghold of medieval kings, across the River Nidd and viaduct. It's also near Mother Shipton's Cave, named after England's most famous Prophetess who lived some 500 years ago during the reign of King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I. The cave is her legendary birthplace and near to a geological phenomenon, the Petrifying Well, England's oldest visitor attraction. Sadly, the weather closed in and driving down the rain-soaked A1, allied to an extensive delay because of traffic through Newcastle, meant it was closed when we got there. We had a walk but a chill wind forced us back to the Orchard Club Hotel situated near the centre of town. It's on the main road and easy to spot but finding the car park up a tight alleyway was a pain. We got there in the end. It is Grade II listed and was formerly the Newton House Hotel. Each room is named and styled with a particular fruit as its inspiration. Ours was comfortable if a tad old fashioned for our taste. It had everything you needed and we slept well despite our room overlooking a busy main road rear traffic lights. The breakfast choice was extensive and other guests were using it as a convenient location for touring to places like Fountains Abbey, the largest monastic ruins in the country, York and, of course, Mother Shipton's Cave.

A perfect location,great pub,and,restaurant.Food,beer,and,wine were good.Excellent accommodation Thoroughly recommended.

We usually stay at the Fairfax or the Feathers, but they were fully booked. We decided to try the Black Swan, probably shouldn’t have. The hotel is very tired despite the recent renovation - I can’t see where in the upper halls and bedrooms? The room was very basic. Bathrooms need updating, and in fact cleaning before guests arrive. We were very late to check in, despite this we had to ask for the bathroom to be cleaned as it had been forgotten about, hairs, old water marks and tide rings - grim! Though the lady member of staff did apologise profusely and was very nice at both dinner and check out - a real asset to the hotel. A room bug bare for me was nowhere to hang longer items like coats and dresses. The wardrobe was for shirts and folded trousers only. I had to hang long dresses on the light fitting. Also there is no shaver/toothbrush socket in the bathroom. Such little things that would make stays easier. We had dinner, which wasn’t bad for ‘pub grub’ but it wasn’t restaurant quality so to speak. I’d add that the gravy and sauce were more like water in both consistency and taste. Pies were great! Sadly we didn’t get to try the breakfast (which was included in our rate) as despite being a weekend, there are no room-service options and breakfasts aren’t available past 9.30am. So Sunday at 9.41am, we had to trot over to a nearby café to have breakfast. This was very annoying as you can imagine! I wouldn’t recommend staying here with so many better options locally. Which is a real shame, as the food used to be so much better and I would’ve expected after renovations the hotel would’ve seen an improvement. It has not. But, if you just want pub food and you’re in the area then maybe give it a go.

Theatre visit to York so we needed a central, cheap and straightforward bed for the night, which the Watergate offers. No nonsense, no fuss. Staff were welcoming and helpful. The car park is tucked round the back, accessed by a very narrow entrance directly off the city centre roads - beware, your parking sensors will go mental! Good use of key pad codes for accessing the car park and rooms, means you can come and go as you please, despite it being right in the middle of the city centre. Sadly the bar closes at 10 pm so we missed the after show drink and we skipped breakfast, which is cooked in a little cafe opposite and brought in to be served in the bar. No restaurant. Rooms are small, clean and tidy, tightly stacked alongside each other so it's a little noisy. Very old building so there are no right angles anywhere, which adds to the charm. Good value and would definitely use again for its convenience rather than comfort and relaxation.

A lovely venue in a picturesque village. An extremely warm welcome on arrival. Very friendly, relaxed atmosphere in the bar. Room was modern, clean and very comfortable. I arrived very late so missed out on an evening meal but breakfast was great with plenty of options, cooked to order. Would highly recommend. So glad I avoided the big chain hotels.

We recently stayed here, the accommodation was ideal,we had a 2day break, it was close to the train station 10 min walk, our room was above the white horse pub but there was no noise in the evening it was quiet we had a lovely Outlook of the square and gardens,it was a 2-3 star hotel,ibut it clean,comfortable,with all the amenities and complimentary toiletries.it also included a cooked breakfast which was lovely, The staff was so friendly welcoming,and nothing was too much trouble, will definitely go back here again,a great stay thankyou very much 😀

If you *love* loud house parties and drunk people—this is your place! The smell of fresh paint just *barely* covers up the reek of cigarette smoke wafting in the open windows. On the plus side, there’s a busy street right outside and no parking. If you simply have to stay in the heart of Whitby, you probably could do worse, but you’d pay a lot less than £125 night. The room is nice enough, clean and fairly well-appointed. But you’ll be trying to sleep over a very noisy bar that appears to be very popular with the gauntlet of smokers you’ll have drag your bags through to check-in. Caveat Emptor: I am a woman travelling alone and I really didn’t feel the access to guest rooms was sufficiently secure. The only reason I stayed after realising that guest security wasn’t a priority is that I’d pre-paid.

This was such a nice place to stay overnight. The rooms were very clean and had plenty of space and facilities were excellent. We ate both breakfast and tea there which were both very nice and the staff were also fantastic and very helpful. I loved the theming despite some slightly odd decorations and the bookshelf stairs were a really nice touch. Watching the sunrise over the sea was also definitely a highlight of the stay. Overall I would definitely recommend this place and even though the walk down the steep hill and back was somewhat traumatic it was well worth it.

This trip to the UK, this is my favorite hotel. It really looks like the kind of hotel in classical fiction, downstairs is a bar, or a restaurant, upstairs is a few rooms. The driver thinks that such hotel conditions will be very poor, not as good as the hotel. In fact, it is not, it is particularly good, clean, comfortable, spacious and distinctive! The most unforgettable thing for me was that on the day of arrival, I came to menstruation, no sanitary napkins, and I was in a hurry, because there were no supermarket shops around, and the location was relatively biased. I booked this hotel for the next day by the Pickering steam train. I was eating on the first floor and told the waiter about my difficulties. I didn't express it accurately. The waiter went to the back and took dry paper towels, wet paper towels, and sanitary napkins and asked me which one I needed. I pointed to the sanitary napkins. She went to the back again and took three pieces for me. It was wrapped up and others couldn't see it. I thanked her very much, wanted to give her money, she didn't. I gave her a pooch she bought the day before yesterday and she happily took it. I was very happy!
