YHA Helmsley - Hostel

The room and bathroom were spotless. The kitchen area had everything we needed. It was also very organised. You can even camp if you have your own tent. Facilities 10/10

Absolutley AMAZING service! So so kind and lovely. I made a special request beforehand and the staff were so generous with it, they properly went above and beyond. Room was really neat and tidy, showers and toilets were lovely and clean. Thank you so much!

We’ve just had another lovely stay at YHA Helmsley. The accommodation is basic but brilliant, and so clean & tidy. There are plentiful amenities, including a fully stocked self-catering kitchen. We stay in the 5 bed en suite room and it is perfect for us all. Thank you! We will be back soon.

Friendly and helpful welcome when we checked in. First thing we noticed was how clean and well organised the place was, and this was maintained right through our visit - every day the public areas, particularly the member's kitchen, were in perfect order whenever we got back in the late afternoon. Public areas comprise a large dining area with different size tables, at the end of this are sofas around a woodburner. Off this is a large and well equipped Member's kitchen, with 2 microwaves, 2 fridges etc. Far better than so many hostels nowadays. There's also a small separate lounge with a TV. Upstairs plenty of toilets and showers so no queuing. Outside the car park at the front is very tight and rather muddy, which caused a few issues, but there is on road parking at the front and side too - the hostel is on a quiet side road so no worries about leaving the car out. Convenient spot - it's very quiet with just distant noise from the A170 road but very handy with the market square reached via quiet roads and an alley within 5 minutes. When we visited the other guests were a mixture of cyclist groups, families, couples and a few bikers. This is just luck but everyone there with us was friendly, relaxed and mainly chatty which added to the good atmosphere. Shout to the Baz the warden who was on duty, great ambassador for the YHA with his hard work and sense of humour.

We like YHA hostels very much but this one was our least favorite so far. You are locked out until 5:00 pm. The town of Helmsley is lovely, but this hostel is in an ordinary neighborhood that is not as pleasant or attractive as most YHA sites. The staff was pleasant but not accommodating.

Really lovely staff and everything you could want in a hostel
