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 21 Nov 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 14 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay in Swanage Very clean and comfortable rooms and friendly staff.

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 28 Apr 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 10 Mar 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 12 Aug 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 > [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > > [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > > [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > > [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > > [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > > [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > > [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > > [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa - an Iconic Luxury Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > > [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > > [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > > [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > > [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > > [Chimney House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandbach-Hotels-Chimney-House-Hotel.h527768.Hotel-Information) > > [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > > [Donnington Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sevenoaks-Hotels-Donnington-Manor-Hotel.h865829.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > > [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) ---
