Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 22nd October 2008 Female 25-30 4/5 Comments: The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms were clean and warm. The bathroom was really clean and serviceable, although a bit of a walk from some of the rooms. It's quite close to the train station and walking distance to everything in the best touristy part of Newcastle. Quite a few easy places to eat nearby.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 12th November 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: Great place to stay. The room was small, but it was comfortable. The window lets out a lot of heat and lets in a lot of noise, but we slept fine. The extra charge for the hot breakfast is well worth it.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 14th August 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 3/5 Comments: The Blossom was a nice hotel. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to accommodate our late arrival. A very pleasant experience and good value for money.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Finland 31st July 2008 Couple 18-24 3/5 Comments: Hostel was very clean and staff very friendly! Only minus is that the hostel was near the main road so it was very noisy. But it was easy and fast to get to the town centre.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 22nd July 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: The facilities were quite nice, with bathrooms ensuite, but the atmosphere and the number of stairs were much more like a hotel. And, in fact, it is called a hotel. It was still decently priced and a nice place to stay. If you're looking for a hostel environment, though, or if you want to be right in the city centre, then it's not the place for you.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 24th July 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: we found our stay very enjoyable and would recommend to others

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 17th July 2008 Female 25-30 2/5 Comments: The bathroom was so tiny you could hardly sit on the toilet. The beds were not comfortable at all and the building was loud. I would not stay here again.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 25th May 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: 20 mins walk from station but 10 to old town. Staff were helpful. Rooms a bit small, bathroom cramped but clean.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 19th May 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: Overall OK, but location is quite far from train station, and breakfast is not included, I think they are overpriced, we paid 55 pounds for a room, I am sure for that amout, you could easily find a bed and breakfast in that area, not a good value for money.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Italy 30th April 2008 Couple 25-30 3/5 Comments: the guest-house is 20 minutes walk from the city centre, that makes it quite far in a small town like york. also there were no buses going to and from the city centre to the hostel, neither from the station! the room was quite small but comfortable. unfortunately when we arrived our room was not cleaned yet and they didn't finish! however nice place where to stay (expecially if you like walking!), breakfast real english!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating England 27th April 2008 Couple 18-24 3/5 Comments: room was very compact, particularly the bathroom! and breakfast perhaps a little overpriced... other than that all very good!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Canada 25th April 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: This is a great place to come with a family or as a couple rather than as a bunch of friends. My family came to visit me from Canada and of all the places we stayed they all thought it had the most charm. The staff are great and helpful, you are no more than a ten minute walk from York minster and the shops and the breakfast is a good start to your day. However, skip on the 7.50pound and go with the 4.50pound breakfast.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Hong Kong 4th April 2008 Male 18-24 4/5 Comments: A generally excellent experience! The location was very good - only 5 to 10 mins' walk from York Minister, i.e. the city centre. 2 supermarkets, Londis and Sainsbury's nearby. It also costs only 4.50 pounds from the train station. The room was huge and clean. There was even a TV there. Hostel price, hotel experience.
