Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location and very warm and inviting property. Personalised welcome message was lovely and refreshments. Although we didn't meet the host, communication was spot on and having the keys to collect from a safe box was easy and convenient. Walking distance to some lovely pubs/eateries and close to the beach.

    Spacious room with great views over the beach front. Friendly helpful staff. The room was clean with typical guesthouse decor. You get what you pay for... if you want 5*, this isn't for you, but it's ideal for a cheap, friendly stay in a great location (centre of scarborough). Parking is limited but staff are very helpful and monitor who is parked where so they can easily contact guests to move cars when required. Would stay again!

    The views were spectacular. It's in a great location. The hotel has an old-world charm. The male receptionists were friendly and helpful. The beds were comfy. It's quiet, and the room had a fan, ironing board and iron, tv, extra pillows, yea and coffee-making facilities and bedside lights. It was cheap.
