As a non binary person and woman I was treated with dignity and respect by the staff of the YHA and allowed to wait in tge television lounge
Only negative was a lot of old people in the hostel as guests with their outdated attitudes towards LGBTQI+ people
I did arrive in the dark and sat nav took me to the entrance but, small signage I missed so walked short distance to hostel to find you can drive through archway to car park and entrance.
but I will know next time,
I also booked breakfast (at a fair price) which I did enjoy,
all staff I found was pleasant and helpful,
so thank,s everyone how made my stay stress free,

Great location - the property is a little tired but ver good overall
There is no doubt that this is the best place to stay in Whitby, simply for its location. In addition to that it is a very well-run youth hostel. My only criticism is that there was sometimes no one in reception, which made it difficult to get information, until you became one of the people in the know, to know that you should go to the tea-room (also called the cafe) where you will find someone to help.
