Astor York Hostel

Astor York Hostel

4.3/553 Reviews
2519 Great value for money Review of Astor York Pending review I was heading to York for the Christmas market and, knowing that I would spend most of my time out and about, wanted my accommodation to be as inexpensive as possible. A weekend at the Astor York set me back less than £40, and I would say I'm grateful I stayed here for more reasons than just the low price. I hadn't realised that the Christmas market closes quite early, and I found myself back at the hostel earlier than I anticipated. Luckily, there is a common area where you can watch Netflix with the other guests – a nice treat at the end of a cold day. I was admittedly a bit taken aback by the very old-fashioned bathrooms that look straight out of the 1960s. But the hostel was clean and well-maintained. My 30-bed dorm did not feel too crowded, and I was grateful for the cages under beds. My one gripe about the dorm room would be a lack of sockets and lights at beds; it was impossible to charge my phone as I was on the top bunk, so I had to charge it in the common area instead. While I only needed to use the fridge, it looked like the kitchen was well-stocked and spacious. There was also a little bar that did happy hour, though I never made it back early enough to take advantage. The location is a bit of a walk from York's city centre. However, it's quite an easy route, and it's also convenient for accessing the train station. I recommend getting up and out a bit earlier and walking along the ancient wall from Micklegate, which is not far from the hostel. Overall, my stay was great value for money and I'd recommend Astor York to any solo travellers.
The Fort York

The Fort York

4/536 Reviews
The Fort is in the best location for seeing the whole of York. It was clean, welcoming, had fab little touches in the room. Rooms were spacious and well laid out. No air conditioning but as one day was particularly hot, when we returned a large fan had been placed in the room. No brewing up facilities in the room but a fabulous kitchenette on the 1st floor with kettle microwave mini fridge with various types of milk in and a large variety of hot drinks to make. The staff at Kennedys bar next door could not have been more helpful or friendly. The only downside was one of our rooms was at the front over where Manahatta nightclub next door was so the noise was loud until early hours. We had already realised this when we booked though and the Fort provided free earplugs in each room and a bowl of them in the kitchenette which we thought was going above and beyond.
Ibis York Centre

Ibis York Centre

4/5129 Reviews
The front desk is very welcoming, but the facilities in our room are really average. The exhaust fan in the toilet is broken, and the toilet door lock can’t be closed. The most speechless thing is that the room is not soundproof. At night, we lie in bed and listen to the chatter and TV sound in the next room Be particularly clear. . My kids can't sleep. .

Wheatlands Lodge Hotel

Wheatlands Lodge Hotel

4.4/585 Reviews
Service can be called first-class, considerate and warm everywhere to provide customers with the best quality service. Excellent service attitude. The rooms are well equipped and well maintained. Architectural, decorative style and British style. Convenient transportation. The breakfast style is varied and can cater to your different needs. Although the hotel does not want today's luxury hotel, it is very warm. A place to leave deep memories.

Tips for Selecting a 2 Star Hotel in York

Hotels in York

Weather and Best time to travel:

Correctly placed between London and Edinburg, the York city lies in North Yorkshire, England. The city has Roman roots and is a quintessential doorstep to the ancient British Experience. Inside the city, the street and walls are still rich in history with independent shops and lively eateries around. Every month the city puts up a festival and attracts millions of visitors. The spirit of living and its murky history makes this city a must-visit. Lying around 270 kilometres north of London, the city is built at the confluence of River Foss and River Ouse. It enjoys a temperate climate which means it has four distinct seasons. The city’s climate is warmer and drier as compared to the rest of Yorkshire. It is also prone to fog, frosts and cold winds in winter, spring and early summer season. York also witnesses snowfall from December to April but it easily melts.  So, keeping all of this in mind the best season to visit would be from March to May. The city looks beautiful around this time due to flowers blooming all around. But this happens to be the peak season as well, so you may find a large crowd around and expensive accommodation. Booking is recommended!
