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.

Awesome location as it is next to the Whitby Abbey. Location is reachable if you are driving. If you arrive by train, be prepared to walk more than the 199 steps up to the Abbey. One downside is lockers are not available in the rooms to secure your belongings whilst you are out and about.

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.

Transgender day of remembrance trip
As a non binary person and woman I was treated with dignity and respect by the staff of the YHA and allowed to wait in tge television lounge Only negative was a lot of old people in the hostel as guests with their outdated attitudes towards LGBTQI+ people

Grand building, enjoyable stay.
It's a very good Youth Hostel in a lovely situation. I was upgraded and had the choice of 6 double bunks! The bunks were comfortable, bedding clean etc. Breakfast was in the cafe attached to the site and was really great. Cafe also had lovely views across the town. I have stayed in Whitby before and at least one of the places was not at all satisfactory. I will be going back to Whitby to visit friends and I will rebook at the YHA. found it good value for money and the free pass to go onto the English Heritage site was an added bonus.

A great value for money stay. My private ensuite room basic but functional as simply needing somewhere to sleep. Hand soap provided in room but no towels. The property does have self catering kitchens, a tv room, lounge (with board games) and conservatory. The adjoining cafe (which is open to the public) serves full breakfasts from 7.30am and closes as 8.30pm. Despite signage requesting quiet between 11pm and 7am, I was subjected to raised voices from a nearby room well beyond 2am. Nobody present at checkout so a simple key drop box was provided.

Wish they would get rid of the seagulls
I’ve stayed at Whitby Youth hostel 4 times before and my only criticism is the 199 steps to climb from the old town. Most seagulls are dangerous vermin and I was in room M8 which had an active seagull nest outside which it being nesting season was active with noise the 48 hours I was there. The hostel gave me a bunk which was a lower one on the third floor which was a struggle as I’m arthritic . The property is a 17 th century former Manor House that has a tv lounge, self catering kitchen and lovely cafe .
