York … Visit the Minster, shop at McArthur Glen, eat in the Lanes, drink at the Maltings.
YHA Boggle Hole Hostel in Whitby … It's clean, it's a friendly atmosphere like all rural YHAs seem to have, and a location that's well worth the walk. For about £4 they do a full breakfast, but there's also a kitchen to do your own stuff.
YHA York Youth Hostel in York … What an excellent hostel! It is in a beautiful location within walking distance to the city. There is also a bus stop nearby. This hostel is one of the best supplied I have ever experienced. There is a bike rental, great lock-up for valuables, a bar, gardens, cafeteria, internet. And everywhere it is clean. The staff are friendly and helpful.
YHA York Youth Hostel in York … If only we had known! We would have planned a longer stay. It was fun, friendly, clean, and welcoming and the breakfast and evening meals were great. No hassles with parking the car, overall very comfortable.
Would definitely recommend to friends.
YHA Boggle Hole Hostel in Whitby … A unique hostel on the shore line in a creek close by to Robin Hood Bay. Access by foot only, but well worth the effort. Thanks to the staff who added to the character and atmosphere.
YHA York Youth Hostel in York … I stayed at this hostel in the beginning of October of 2009. It was clean and comfortable. The location was a mile outside of York. But i liked that, since you got to walk along the river which was very pleasant. All of the staff were very helpful and nice. But i have to put in a special word of gratitude to the cooking staff. Not only was the breakfast free, It was also one of the best breakfasts that i have ever had, anywhere! The cooking staff were also nice and friendly while they served the breakfast. It was not your usual hostel breakfast. Overall a very nice hostel. A great location. And very nice staff. walk along the old city walls while you are in York. And the Yorkshire museum/gardens is fantastic.
YHA York Youth Hostel in York … I thought the hostal was brilliant. I enjoyed my stay and I would love to go back. the meals were lovely. I would recommend it to friends and family. The thing I thought was funny was the scary man outside the restaurant
YHA York Youth Hostel in York … Definitely the best youth hostel I've every stayed at. [in foot and mouth year] Hope they don't decide to close it, after all it is north of both London and Matlock.
YHA York Youth Hostel in York … This hostel is excellent! Very clean throughout. Spacious lounges. They offer great evening meals -- reasonably priced and large portions of home-cooked food.
York Backpackers in York … My first impression of this hostel was a really good one--it had nice and friendly staff, and a good atmosphere between all people. The TV room was perfect to just relax and watch a movie. The hostel was excellently located, and the included breakfast was good. I will probably be back!
York Backpackers in York … Very helpful staff. I am not sure I would call the breakfast "giant", but it's pretty good. York has clean rooms, sheets, and bathrooms. It is very well-located, although it can be noisy at night sometimes--there are something like 13 pubs on the same road, and there are lots of people out for a good time! The kitchen is good but a little small; it has a bar and tv room downstairs in the "dungeon". All in all, it's a pretty good hostel (the only 18 bed dorm I've ever stayed in; luckily there are no snorers!!).
York Backpackers in York … There were too many people living in the hostel room for weeks on end; they had taken over the room. It had a great location and fun, friendly staff. It was also clean. I'd recommend it.
York Backpackers in York … We stayed here in October, in a female dorm room. There were no locks on the doors, but I put some stuff in the safe, and was impressed with the way they handled it (took my name, made me sign when it was returned to me, gave me a card with a number, much better than some other hostels). Rooms were clean, as was the kitchen, the toilets and the showers. Showers were ok, although the water pressure wasn't the best in the world. Sheets were clean, although extremely hard to sleep in. Location was good, close walk into the main center of town. Overall, good hostel, worth the money. As a side note, I recommend the ghost tour that leaves from the Minster, was only £2 (student), very interesting and enjoyable.
