The owner was very helpful and friendly. You can refill your water bottle and hot water is also available at the reception. Pleanty of option for dinner and breakfast. Easy access from train station, about 5-min walk. No elevator which is usual in the UK. Highly recommended.

A gorgeous Georgian mansion converted into comfortable accommodations. Curving staircases and stuccoed ceilings. The staff are genuinely kind and helpful. Much more characterful than a cheap chain hotel.

Disliked: Cleanliness

Stayed in the female 10 bedroom ensuite and it was all the way on the 3rd floor. No elevator lucky had a really nice man that helped me with my luggage if not it would have been a struggle. The bathroom is extremely small and it floods and gets super messy when someone takes a shower since the water gets everywhere. It’s honestly not much bigger than an airplane toilet. There is nowhere for you to do your makeup so had to do my makeup in bed with my small pocket mirror. The area is great though super close to the train station and to historic York.

My stay at Micklegate would have been a much better experience if it was not for the last evening. During my last evening at Micklegate Hostel, I was awakening several times by a group of adults and kids that were staying there. They appeared to be a very large group of teenagers and their coaches. For some reason the front desk staff ignored all the noise that was going on in the hallways and rooms on the upper floors. I had to walk past all the loud teenager and their coaches and complain to the front desk attendant. Apparently, he made them aware that it was late and they must stop the noise.

Disliked: Amenities

It was a lovely building & communal areas were good. However the TV blew up as soon as I put it on & was kaput. It was lonely in my room with minimal facilities & staff were barely helpful. Other guests spent 20 mins getting the TV in the dining room to work. I'll be in Montrose next week in a single room at exactly half the price of this one so not good value.

Nima, the staff, is really friendly and attentive. You can leave your luggage here for just 3£/day. Great location, close to the station. The room is clean. There’s a cage that you can put your belongings in and lock for safety. The only downside is there is no electrical outlet for the top bunk. Roommates can be quite noisy in the early morning, but that how the dormitory is.

Honest feedback

Due to the extreme noise, a nose strip should be offered and mandatory, it was disturbing even through headphones and earplugs. No aircon in room, advertised as there. Staff were helpful but not always listening to my concern about the door not opening to my dorm. No plug sockets for upper bunk anywhere, made this an awkward situation of impinging on the privacy of the lower bunkmate. I know this is momentary but it still affects another person at any hours of the day or night. No shock absorption for bunk beds, so that you can feel you're alone, otherwise both parties feel the others' movement. No lock provided, such as a electronic lock for the storage facility in the room lockers, which was unexpected. The cage did not go under the bed when a guest was in the lower bunk - functionality issue. Guests didn't have the House Rules to hand about lights out, no noise after 10 etc, this would be handy in the bathroom and room door to prevent selfish behaviour of an anti social nature. E. g. A guest left water all over the bathroom floor and entrance to the bathroom, a trip hazard, and when asked to wipe it up politely, did not reply or action the mess.

Cobram demais

Este foi o pior hotel de minha Viagem. Cobraram 6 libras para guardar 2 malas até a horário do Check-in. Fiz o Check-in após o horário e a habilitação não estava pronta. Tivemos que aguardar uma hora. Depois queriam me cobrar mais 5 libras para mais um cartão chave 🔑 do quarto. O hotel não tem elevador. Me colocaram no andar mais alto tendo que subir muitas escadas apesar de sermos idosos. As atendentes foram atenciosas e eficadas. São apenas funcionários e não tem culpa da política da empresa. Esse é o décimo terceiro hotel desta viagem e nenhum cobrou taxas como esse hotel cobrou. Recomendado a procurar outras opções de hotéis em York.
