It's a stunning location right on the beach, and it's a short walk over the headland or round the bay, to Robin Hood's Bay. Wonderful staff. Excellent breakfast. Clean room. Super cafe bar. Relaxing seaside decor It's a gem.

Great value and location on a budget

Great stay with my son for an overnight stay. Really good value, limited in luxuries but service great, location is superb, food really good…try the homemade nachos! Will definitely be back to explore further. Beds comfy and clean. What lacks in overall comfort is made up in the natural warmth and laid back atmosphere with kindred souls. Not sure I’d stay with some of the higher prices I had seen for other days..Sunday is good for a bargain stay

Boggle hole & Whitby

My partner was on crutches & just getting to the hostel was very difficult. We were booked in at a room which she literally could not get to. However, the staff were brilliant & swapped us to a room with easier access. She then phoned Whitby up and organised one of the new tents for us the next night.Both stays were brilliant,as we're the staff.Could not fault them in any way whatsoever. I'm 71,my partner is55,and neither of us can wait to take our next hosteling adventure!

Great location, but didn't enjoy the experience

Great location, nice staff. However, there was a multi family group booking, so it was noisy until 11pm and the communal areas were dominated by the group. As a light sleeper, the banging of fire doors throughout the night kept me awake (even with ear plugs).

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Even though the location is wonderful, the hostel is vastly over priced. It cost £120 for a double room which was like a very basic cell. We were a party of 4 and were separated onto two different floors. We were subjected to the noise of other guests at all hours of the night, and the handdriers in the toilets next door which sounded like a hoover being operated at all hours. The room I stayed in had a very squeaky bunk bed and just one plug socket. There was a sink in there, but little else and you could not socialise in there at all as there was no space. The catering facilities, although well equipped, were in a long thin kitchen beyond the cafe with no seating or tables. So we had to take our food on trays through the cafe and into an overspill area that you had to go outside to get to. We felt like second class citizens compared to the cafe visitors and we were paying guests! You are not allowed to consume your own alchohol on the premises. Instead, if you would like some wine, it will cost you £20 per bottle. The cafe is lovely - including the lovely staff working there - but this is definitely the best bit of the place, and you don’t have to stay there to enjoy it. In fact you get a much better deal as a day visitor. To summarise: Hotel prices for a less than average hostel experience. I am very disappointed and, next time, will stay in a hotel or air bnb as that is sure to be much better value for money.
