YHA Whitby

It was great all around, no complaints

great！

This YHA is in the most fabulous location, right by the abbey at the top of the 199 steps. It’s a bit spooky getting to and from in the dark but I quite liked that. In the day time there are fab views over whitby. The outside of the building is spectacular, the inside not quite so much. The double height landing with stained glass windows and the staircase is stunning but there’s quite a bit of the place could do with a bit of TLC. The dorm I was in was perfectly fine and even had an en suite loo, the shower was just next door (I think I might have been in the best positioned dorm as I didn’t see many other shower rooms as I was looking round the building). The bed was clean and comfy. There was very little storage in the rooms though. When I arrived the guy on reception was very friendly and helpful, he was when I came back in later too. It was a bit disappointing that the bar was shut at 9pm on a Friday night. I didn’t get chance to give the cafe a try so can’t comment on that. I managed to park my car in the little carpark outside, there aren’t too many spaces though, I think I got the last one. Other than the small points mentioned above, this is a great place to stay in Whitby and I would stay again.

Had a two night stay with friends whilst doing cycling in Pickering and from Whitby. The weather was sunshine all the way which made it perfect for us. The building is old and full of character and whilst showing signs of wear it was clean (except our first dorm that housekeeping hadn’t done their job - reception soon moved us to rectify). The shower and toilet in our dorm was clean. Our room was occupied by 4 on the first night and 5 on the second so not at the 8 capacity. Reception John was very helpful and the cafe team always made you feel welcome. Breakfast on our second day was fair value and fuelled a day of cycling. It was only my second stay in a YHA and I’d be willing to do it again and would even take the family for a break away.

Spur of the moment booking. Day out turned into a night stay. Saw this online, had a walk up and booked direct. The gentleman on reception was brilliant. The room were clean tidy. Spot on . Bed comfortable. It has everything ya would need. Cafe for food and a bar. The location were fantastic. I would recommend this to anyone.

Absolutely blown away by the beauty of this building, the location and grounds. A couple of friends were staying elsewhere in whitby and were also wowed and made plans to stay here next time! So much space to relax, read, play games or watch TV. Fab self catering and the views are insane! Breakfast staff were super helpful and lovely. All round an absolutely amazing weekend getaway, planning to return with my partner ASAP!
