About

Choosing from the array of traditional English pubs surrounding our York hostel, you certainly won’t go thirsty! The atmosphere is just as lively as the city that sparked the magic of Harry Potter with its winding streets, historic architecture, and enchanting tales.
Located within a Georgian townhouse in the heart of York’s city center, Safestay York Micklegate offers the ideal location for exploring all that this city has to offer.

Immerse yourself in the historic charm of medieval buildings that house a plethora of pubs and restaurants, serving a quintessential British roast or a comforting cup of Yorkshire tea – as the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do!

Just a short 6-minute walk from the bus and train station in Micklegate, and within easy reach of The York Dungeon, the picturesque River Ouse, York Castle Museum, and plenty of pubs and clubs, you’ll find yourself right in the pulse of the city. With the York Shambles said to be the inspiration behind Diagon Alley, Harry Potter fans will feel right at home with us, but no worries if that’s not your thing – there are plenty of other great sights and shops to visit during your stay. Or you could hang out in our shared TV area, terrace, or cozy bar and share a pint with fellow travelers.

With a pocket-friendly vibe that mixes comfort, culture, and tasty treats, we look forward to welcoming you for your next adventure at Safestay York Micklegate.

Very clean, location was amazing and very close to everywhere we wanted to go. The dorm-style still had some privacy because of the curtains around the bed, which I liked very much. Would definitely recommend to other people coming to York!
