YHA Whitby - Hostel

YHA Whitby - Hostel

8/10 Good
"Comfortable bed in private room. The school group were noisy running & jumping in the room above but when I went to report it to reception it immediately fell silent and was quiet all night - so a great night's sleep 😴 would have been nice to have had a chair in the room - there was a cube that had to serve as a bedside table / seat. Great location adjacent to abbey and minutes from the 199 steps and a fab brewery for beer & pizza. Lovely gardens Spacious lounge & conservatory. Friendly helpful staff Bonus free ticket to abbey. Would definitley stay again 😀"
