Stayed here recently so my wife could attend a dance competition at the Whitby Pavillion. Family of 4, 3 adults and 1 child. On arrival there was no parking directly outside so we were advised to park in the disabled bays just inside the gatehouse (they were empty, moved the car to an empty space outside the hostel the following morning after some guests had presumably checked out), The outer entrance archway is quite tight especially when the abbey is open and they've got a barrier up just outside the gatehouse. Check in was easy and friendly, surprised to get a free entry ticket for the abbey which we used on our last day before heading home. Given room 2 which was big, clean and overlooked the abbey. The building is old and a little dated in places but we actually like it that way. Had a meal in the cafe/restaurant, reasonably priced and good quality. Had breakfast on both mornings as well and this was also good value with good quality food and an excellent selection. We've stayed in Youth Hostels before so we'd also brought a pre-prepared meal which we cooked in the self catering kitchen which was busy but everyone took their turn and it was left clean and tidy by all who used it. Youth hostels may not be everyone's cup of tea but they're usually well located, reasonably priced and give you the flexibility to travel in larger groups and cater for yourself while staying. All the staff we encountered during our stay were friendly and helpful. I've looked at this hostel on numerous previous occasions but it has usually been fully booked so I am pleased we were able to stay this time and would probably stay again in the future.
