About
Stableside Hostel At York Racecourse
Stableside Hostel At York Racecourse sits on Tadcaster Road, a 25-minute stroll from the greenery of Rowntree Park. It is a straightforward, 3-star hostel where the focus is on comfort and value rather than frills. Guests get free private parking, Wi-Fi across the property, and the convenience of an on-site restaurant and coffee shop.
The building itself is a converted stable block, which gives the place a bit of character. Rooms are basic but well-kept, with options from budget singles to family doubles with bunk beds. The hostel runs an express check-in and check-out, offers luggage storage, and has a 24-hour security presence. A welcome drink awaits on arrival, and the sun terrace and garden furniture are there for warmer days.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No en-suite bathrooms in many rooms — Most rooms, including the family doubles, come with shared bathroom facilities. Only a few options have private bathrooms.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 20:00, which can be restrictive if you arrive later in the evening.
- Street-facing rooms may hear traffic — The family shared-bathroom double is listed as having street view, so street noise could be a factor.
- Rating below area average — With an 8.2 guest rating against a York average of 9.8, some travelers may find the property falls short of the norm.
