Check-In

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 an affordable stay that combines comfort, culture, and culinary delights, we look forward to welcoming you to your next adventure at Safestay York Micklegate.
