YHA Whitby's location is stunning - right by the 199 steps, St Mary's Church, the Abbey and with beautiful views across the river and town. It's a beautiful historic building with an absolutely lovely private garden. The table football was also much enjoyed! Abbey entry is free for hostel guests which was a bonus. However, it feels like it is coasting on its location and exterior, and was a disappointment compared with other YHA hostels. Firstly check-in is 3-10pm, despite the YHA website saying it's 24hrs (hopefully they will update this). There's also not a 24hr reception, again contrary to the YHA website. There's a sign directing you to the cafe out of these hours, but it was a big contrast to other hostels where there's usually someone around to ask for info, provide key for the luggage room, answer qs and deal with any issues even if you can't check in yet. Definitely not a warm welcome. The room was decent but the shower leaked all over the floor - a sign said to leave the showerhead pointing down to avoid floods, but the bath tap stuck out so much this meant you couldn't get under it and the mixer tap was awkward. I doubt that any of the management have tried showering in it. The bathroom is looking tired. No binliners in bins, and no storage in rooms either (they have changed completely from the TripAdvisor photos which are from 2016!!) Loud music from the kitchen underneath us at 730am on Monday morning. Overall, the hostel could do with some TLC - and will need it if features like the beautiful conservatory, where grass is now growing through the glass panes, are to last. The cafe is haphazard and the breakfasts a shambles - no trays, cutlery running out, coffee running out, juice running out (and not being speedily replaced as happens elsewhere), bits being left off the toast machine so the toast falls on the floor, etc. They seemed to only cook 4 eggs at a time and have no queuing system so we had to wait a long while for cooked breakfasts while others came straight in and were served immediately. Some staff were friendly but others were completely uninterested. We wanted to mention these issues quietly to reception as we left, but guess what... shutters up again and no one around.

On arrival we found our marked car park slot and then found the public areas of the hotel were very pleasant, I think all fairly recently refurbished. Our room overlooked the harbour and the abbey which was the best view one could ask for. The room had apparently been given a makeover in the Shearings era but they hadn't touched the bathroom which was clean but a bit decrepit. The only only issue with the bedroom was that the door could be opened with a loyalty card (I proved it). To renovate the rooms but not the bathrooms must have been an accountant's decision! To be fair the current management company are working hard with upgrades; we saw the evidence of this as we moved around the hotel. The hotel is beautifully situated but be prepared for some steep hills to get about. We noticed that the tourist bus made a stop at the hotel and found this the best way to get across to the abbey. Plus you get an interesting commentary about Whitby on the way across town. Breakfast was good, a couple of evenings we ate in the bar which was interesting as the local folk musicians had a jam session on the Friday evening! Yes, we would stay here again as long as we could choose a fully renovated room with harbour/abbey view.

What a fantastic hotel, everything was spot on including the reception desk staff, the large deluxe room, the restaurant staff and the amazing breakfast. This hotel has its own car park over the road, which we were able to use before our allocated booking in time. The staff were very attentive and nothing was a problem. The location was 5min walk from the whale bone arch and a nice 15min walk I to town. We will definitely be visiting again

Nice stay for two tired and hungry coast to coast walkers. Room was clean, shower nice & bed comfy. Slept well. Pub food downstairs did take a while but was good. Breakfast was good and catered to GF and vegetarian. Overall stay = happy customer :)
