Top tips for finding York hostel deals

  • Most of the hostels in York can be found in the center of the city, which makes for easy navigation if in this medieval city. Its long history means that there are many famous landmarks, like York Castle and its museum, Jorvik Viking Center, or iconic York Minster Cathedral at the city’s heart. In addition to a local bus system, there is also the York Rail Station, which provides connections to Leeds Bradford Airport, while vehicular traffic uses the A1036, which is the main thoroughfare around the city.
  • The Fort Boutique Hostel is ideally suited to those traveling as part of a larger group. Two buildings offer a variety of multi-bed dormitories, some of which are en suite and others with shared bathrooms. Located at Little Stonegate, this hostel in York is minutes away from Mansion House, York Cathedral, and York Theatre Royal. Also, there are several restaurants (e.g., Bombay Spice, Ask Italian) and bars (e.g., Brew York) not far away.
  • Another centrally located hostel in York is Safestay York at Micklegate House, which is about a 15-minute walk from York Station. Unlike most hostels, you can stay at Safestay York for up to a month if desired. Accommodations at this property tend to favor solo travelers looking for a cheap room with a community bathroom, but the onsite bar and game room definitely enhance the experience. Located just east of Ouse River, the City Walls complex is a medieval attraction in the area, and the Rattle Owl is an eatery just down the street.
  • Yha York on Walter End in Clifton is located less than two miles north of the city center and within walking distance of the Ouse River to the west and Clifton Green to the north. If you prefer not to walk, there are buses on Walter End that can get you downtown quickly. This property offers single-sex dormitory-style rooms with ensuite bathrooms. The Old Grey Mare is a popular bar near Clifton High Street.
