Safestay York

The room looked nice because it was in an old building. That’s it.

Horrible. Paid for a room that I could stay in for only 2 hours. Didn’t feel safe at all. An extremely creepy man in the room opposite, overheard staff say ‘don’t go into anyone else’s room tonight’ or something to those lines. I’m certain that he had tried to enter my room several times in those 2 hours, I heard him from the outside of the door. And when I bumped into him as he was coming down the stairs and I was going up them, he stopped going down, turned around and followed me. When I alerted staff to it they said ‘I know who you mean’ - surely you would just not let the man stay there if he was known to cause trouble like this? As well as feeling unsafe, the room was drastically cold, with a constant gust blowing on my face from the (closed) window which was above the bed. The heaters did not work, nor did the kettle. The bed sheets had some mystery stains, fitted bed sheet didn’t fully fit the matress, exposing a cold plastic covered mattress underneath. All in all, I felt safer and warmer just hanging about at the train station on my way to the airport instead. Waste of £40.
