MISS DANICA

Wonderful. Thank you

We don't get away very often and finding an affordable price with Astor, made our trip possible. The rooms were clean with communal spaces to; mingle, pay games, watch movies, plus a communal kitchen. However we chose to stick to our room as we planned as most of our time would be spent in the city. A easy walk to the city centre plus a bus for those that struggle right out side the hostel. Tea and coffee facilities were in the room, along with a shower/washroom. The area was nice and quiet, we were on the top floor (which may of helped) but the atmosphere was welcoming and peaceful. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and we were happily surprised with our stay at Astor. Thankyou again Astor hostel!

Blessings thank you'd 🙏✨

From the moment we arrived to the very last hour spent at the Astor, was an absolutely wonderful experience. We loved Patrick, he checked us in so smoothly, giving us a wealth of information, advice and so much care and compassion. We love the whole building, the communal areas are so carefully thought out, designed to support your needs, gifting you space to relax and spend quality time. Our room was just lovely, we had everything we could need. The lovely communal areas and the kitchen dining area is fabulous, so much so that we have already secured our next visit and stay, and we can't wait to get there. Thank you, thank you thank you from Kat & Paul 🙏✨

Lovely stay

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The kitchen is very spacious and they have everything I need. I loved the common areas as it’s very cozy and comfortable. Dorms are clean and neat. Met some new friends here and I would come back if I were to visit York again. Highly recommended!

York's hidden gem for drinkers!!!

My stay here was perfect for someone who was just having a night out with mates. I went to the football at 3 and checked in around 6pm seamlessly. I had an allocated bed in the dormitory and it was still vacant when I arrived in at 4am. Check out was 1030 and issueless. All in all a perfect place to stay right near the city centre for those who just need a bed for a few hours on a night out. This place really is a hidden gem. The En Suite was huge with toilet, bidet, shower and separate bath. If I ever have a family event in York again I would consider getting a whole dorm if available for the family!
