Astor York Hostel

This is a typical youth hostel, the kind where everyone cooperates. There were no major issues with the environment, and the location was convenient for traveling and sightseeing. The front desk staff were very enthusiastic and gave lots of great recommendations for dining and activities.

It's about a 17-minute walk from the train station, which can be a bit of a trek if you have luggage. You can store your bags for free in the basement before check-in. It's an old building, so there's no elevator, but the staff kindly helped me carry my luggage upstairs when I checked in. The lack of a bed curtain was a slight inconvenience, but overall it was a good stay.

The kitchen was kept very clean, which left a good impression. However, it was a bit inconvenient as it's a walk in the opposite direction from the city center.
