Lovely en suite room with sea view. Staff very friendly and helpful. My first stay in a YHA in nearly 30 years and experience was so good I’m looking to come again.

Loud shouting until the early hours. Children running around the corridors and in and out the building No YHA staff on duty at night. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### gagan Nov 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing experience with stay and facilities available, its present in a very price location and nearby to a lot of other amenities ##### gagan Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michail Sep 14, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay in Swanage Very clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff.

The staff were so friendly and Gary went out of his way to accommodate us at short notice. The hostel is modern, clean, spacious save very well located. They've done a fabulous job of trying to keep guests safe during COVID. Thank you for all your care. We hope to return again soon! ##### Mala Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darren Jun 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Brilliant place to stay.

All areas of the hostel were clean and tidy including the common areas, my dorm room and the toilet/shower areas. The location is great. A short walk to town although it is uphill coming back. There’s an off road car park. I paid the extra £6.75 to have the breakfast. Pretty good choice and quality. There was cooked breakfast (sausage, veggie sausage, bacon, beans, scrambled egg, grilled tomato, hash brown), white and brown bread/toast, cereals (cornflakes, rice crispies, weetabix, muesli), pastries (mini croissants and mini pain aux chocolate), ham, cheese, yoghurt, fruit (apples and oranges) and orange juice/apple juice/water/tea/coffee. Each bed has individual light, plug including usb and shelve. Each room has a sink and hand wash which I find really useful. There are no lockers in the rooms though. The shower cubicles I used were clean, you can adjust the height of the shower head and it’s a good powerful shower. The only slight negative is that the cubicle light is on a timer so when you shower you have to open the shower door within the cubicle and wave your hand around to get the light back on. It’s not a big deal but nice to know in advance that you’re likely to get plunged into darkness. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. ##### Hayley Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### miss nicola Apr 28, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### my favoriteplace great place t\\o stay its been refurbished so kitchen has a sea view and great amenities the showers are hot and powerful really close to the centre great little shops and a mini supermarket live music guaranteed every week end and great walks ##### miss nicola Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 10, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good location, close to shops and beach.

Toni was an absolute superstar, best customer service experience I've ever received. Highly recommended. ##### Mark ### 10/10 Excellent #### ema, London Aug 12, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good value for money and great location The hostel delivers exactly what is on the tin - great value accommodation, good location, good sleepover. We were a group of friends and wanted to book a last minute sleepover while travelling on the coast, we booked 4 bed private room which was great value. Upon arrival we were met by friendly and helpful receptionist, the facility was clean and neat, common toilets and shower rooms were kept in good order and clean. The hostel is possibly not up to standard for business travellers but for families or group of friends it's great opportunity not to break the bank! Good walking distance straight to town centre was a bonus albeit return journey up the hill with few drinks was challenging :) ##### ema ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Hotel Chester](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Hotels-The-Hotel-Chester.h60919379.Hotel-Information) > > [Headlands - Room Only Accommodation](https://www.expedia.ca/Falmouth-Hotels-Headlands-Room-Only-Accommodation.h7374570.Hotel-Information) > > [The Admiral Rodney Hotel, Horncastle, Lincolnshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Horncastle-Hotels-The-Admiral-Rodney-Hotel.h664365.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Yew Tree Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Coniston-Hotels-Yew-Tree-Cottage.h26995444.Hotel-Information) > > [Wisteria House B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Chippenham-Hotels-Wisteria-House-BB.h53797442.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lindisfarne Inn - The Inn Collection Group](https://www.expedia.ca/Berwick-Upon-Tweed-Hotels-The-Lindisfarne-Inn.h28969020.Hotel-Information) > > [Maison Claire](https://www.expedia.ca/Chester-Hotels-Maison-Claire.h2250858.Hotel-Information) > > [Glenhaven](https://www.expedia.ca/Saxmundham-Hotels-Glenhaven.h30997583.Hotel-Information) > > [The White Hart Royal Hotel, Moreton-in-Marsh](https://www.expedia.ca/Moreton-In-Marsh-Hotels-White-Hart-Royal-Hotel.h3848404.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Scarborough-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h44509462.Hotel-Information) > > [The George](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h45140643.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunday Box Hill Burford Bridge Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Dorking-Hotels-Sunday-Hotels-Box-Hill.h861138.Hotel-Information) > > [Tides Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Pevensey-Hotels-Tides-Cottage.h42241061.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Low-Wood-Bay.h5243.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [The Manor House](https://www.expedia.ca/Dronfield-Hotels-The-Manor-House.h4780993.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Salcombe](https://www.expedia.ca/Salcombe-Hotels-Salcombe-Harbour-Hotel-Spa.h19504246.Hotel-Information) > > [Newmarket Boutique Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Newmarket-Hotels-Newmarket-Boutique-Apartments.h3522773.Hotel-Information) > > [The Trout](https://www.expedia.ca/Cockermouth-Hotels-The-Trout.h11899282.Hotel-Information) > > [Lizzies Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Horncastle-Hotels-Lizzies-Cottage.h44511273.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel St Ives](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Ives-Hotels-St-Ives-Harbour-Hotel.h175599.Hotel-Information) > > [Macdonald Tickled Trout Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Preston-Hotels-Macdonald-Tickled-Trout-Hotel.h19091.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pearl Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-The-Pearl-Hotel.h6335144.Hotel-Information) > > [YotelAIR London Gatwick ](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Yotel-Air-London-Gatwick.h18969729.Hotel-Information) > > [Kestrel Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Grange-Over-Sands-Hotels-Kestrel-Cottage.h31001279.Hotel-Information) > > [A stunning luxury lodge, perfect for a couples retreat or family break.](https://www.expedia.ca/Ripon-Hotels-2-Bedroom-Accommodation-In-West-Tanfield.h83658218.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Woodbridge-Hotels-The-Crown-Hotel.h520172.Hotel-Information)
