Safestay York Micklegate

The place has definitely gone way downhill since I stayed there many years back. My bed had a broken bar under watch. Not only made it very uncomfortable as the mattress sagged in the middle bus also made a crazy loud noise whenever it caught on the other bars. When I told them about it the receptionist seems to take ages to process and said I'd need to report it in the morning so the housekeeping team could clean a bed for me and I'd just have to stay in the broken bed. I asked again if I was understanding them right. Eventually after an elongated period looking at the computer she finally said I could move to the bunk above me on the same bed. Even basic amenities you'd expect from a hostel aren't there. They charge to hold you luggage even when you're staying there, but also have many rooms up long winding old staircases and don't tell you beforehand what floor you'll be on. Bought a ready meal for a quick dinner one night and ended up eating it cold since they appare fly only have a microwave out at certain times. They don't even have a kettle or fridge available. Basically the only good things about it are the price and location, everything else just seems to have been left to decline to save money.
