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.

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.

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.

Okay, for short stay but noisy

Good location for central York and reasonably priced for a two bunk bed room. Building is old, floors and walls echo with sound of inconsiderate people making noise late into the night.

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.

경제적인 숙박

기차역 근처에서 정말 싼 가격에 숙박할 수 있습니다. 건물은 중후하고 침구류는 깨끗해보였습니다. 단점은 다인실 침대가 소리가 났고 안정적이지 않아 보이네요. 윗층 침대 옆 전원이 없어 충전이 불가능합니다. 복도 끝에 별도의 화장실 겸 샤워실이 있고 한 명만 들어갈 수 있습니다. 화장실은 깨끗했지만 샴푸나 바디워시는 없습니다. 배터리가 충분한 상태에서 잠만 자고 간다면 이곳만큼 좋은 곳이 없겠습니다. (기차역에서 가까운 것도 큰 장점) 그러나 그 이상을 바란다면 실망할 겁니다.
