With your pick of traditional English pubs surrounding our York hostel, you certainly won’t go thirsty!
The space is just as vibrant as the city that inspired the world of Harry Potter with its winding streets, historic architecture, and captivating tales.
Safestay Hostel York is set in a beautiful Georgian town house less than 10 minutes’ walk from York train station and even closer to the historic city centre.
You’ll love the affordable accommodation at the hostel and stylish social spaces.
With twin, double, and family en-suite rooms as well as en-suite and standard dormitories for 4 to 12 people, there’s a bed for every budget.
Hang out in our shared TV area, terrace, or cosy bar and share a pint with fellow travellers.

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.
