YHA hotels in Whitby, England

"I find the accommodation ideal for our needs. The rooms are in a separate building to the pub/restaurant so noise is minimal and facilities convenient. We've stayed here several times now and I'll keep coming back."

"The hotel is in a great location, high up, with great views of the Abbey and the town. There are steps up to the hotel from the town or you can walk up the road (Khyber Pass). There is limited onsite parking which needs to be booked in advance. Room 2 was clean and had a new carpet and bed. It was quite a large room with a sea view. At the time of our visit (Sept. 2025), there was a lot of noisy work being done on hotel improvements, but this will only improve the hotel for future guests. The staff were very helpful and we would definitely stay here again."

"The rooms and bar area are quirky and full of character. The view of Whitby and the abbey from the room was spectacular. John the reception / bar staff was brilliant throughout, and was always friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning! "

"Breakfast was excellent and a really nice view from the room where it was (overlooked the harbour)"

"Great stay, no issues what so ever, room was great, clean and spacious "

"Great stay."

"We had a very nice stay at The Esklet Guest House. The owner met us on arrival and gave a very clear instruction on the parking arrangements. It is on street parking, the owner gave us a parking disc for the first night and also a permit for the following two days. Very useful to have clear instruction rather than be left to figure it out yourself. The accomodation was a large ground floor room. Very clean and comfortable. There is no breakfast as was made clear on the booking, but there is something wrong if you can't find a decent breakfast in Whitby! All in all we were very pleased with The Esklet and would be happy to stay again next time we visit Whitby. Thank you."

"Tasmin is an excellent host. Very helpful. "

"Absolutely beautiful room with views over the moors. Best bath and night’s sleep I’ve had I ages."
