    I have mixed feelings about this place. Whilst being very conveniently located in the city, in a beautiful historical building, with a decent bag drop service and secure cages for bags in rooms, I wouldn't recommend coming if you want a reasonable/peaceful night sleep. Walls are so thin and no sound proofing so you can hear everything that goes on within the building which is surprisingly alot considering the time of day, the facilities inside the rooms are also rather dirty. I'd say a minor improvement would be to offer earplugs complimentary, opposed to charging for them considering the amount of noise generated inside the building in which nothing can be done to alter the building to resolve this issue. It's OK overall for a night if you have no other option, however, next time I stay overnight in York, I won't be coming back here if I can help it.

    Stayed here a few times now in the private rooms only , I wouldn't stay in the dorms but that's just me! Really interesting building, steeped in history! Good vibe. Great location. Only disappointment was the room door didn't lock. At 8:30 pm on a Saturday night we were told if we didn't like the fact the door didn't lock we could leave with a refund! At 8:30 pm on a Saturday night nr Xmas!! Totally unacceptable answer! York was fully booked and had been for several weeks. Were told they'd seen another hotel online which they could book for us if we paid!! but it was dearer a 20 min taxi ride away , whole point of staying in York centre was to NIT have to mess ABT with taxis etc! Had no choice to stay. Had to barracade our selves in (3 girl group) not ideal! Can be noisy when ppl are returning to the dorms but I would still return if I had to, as long as the door locked! Hopefully they've rectified this now!! And in future handle complaints a bit more sympatheticly & more professionally!

    I stayed at Safestay York Micklegate for three nights from April 6-9, 2023. Pros - staff were very prompt to address issues and helped with a problem I had in my room arrangements and in bathroom cleanliness - good location near the city adjacent to the Micklegate wall and very reasonable price Cons: - the beds are not very stable and move very easily. I could not sleep very well the first night staying at the top bunk - was moved to a room at the basement which had thin walls and I could hear the trolleys rolling and footsteps of the floor above. - the kitchen has a fridge, utilensils, and a microwave but no sink with running water nor an oven.
