A fabulous place to stay to explore Whitby, explore the area and coastal walks. Facilities clean and tidy, great on-site cafe and the local town is walkable, albeit uphill on the return. And superb views of Whitby Abbey on the YHA doorstep.

Clean rooms and well laid out. I went when some school groups were on and it wasn't very noisy which was good. The only downside was when I was in a room not reserved by a school group a teacher asked me to leave so they could have the children wait in there before they headed out.

Upgrade to room 10 was excellent but restaurant staff were grumpy and not lgbt friendly. The person who checked me in who has an office in the stairwell was the opposite and as a regular customer and guest was approachable, lgbt friendly and use tge correct pronouns to address myself. Room was massive, comfortable and in the 17 th century part of the former Manor House with a courtyard view

Top location for staying in Whitby

There is no doubt that this is the best place to stay in Whitby, simply for its location. In addition to that it is a very well-run youth hostel. My only criticism is that there was sometimes no one in reception, which made it difficult to get information, until you became one of the people in the know, to know that you should go to the tea-room (also called the cafe) where you will find someone to help.
