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.

An alright hostel

No kitchen or fridge and toilets that were not great. But cages for stuff under beds (you had to purchase a padlock) and curtains on the bunk beds which were appreciated.

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.

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.

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.
