fantastic place to stay

Much more affordable than anywhere else i could find locally.

Lovely sea views from our bedroom

excellent breakfast

Free parking and free superfast wifi (which i am using right now to write this!)

Very impressed with the facilities. Our room was clean and comfortable. All the staff where very helpful and friendly. Would recommend visiting.

Very clean and modern my first ever visit to a YHA at the age of 56 !!



Really good

Swanage is a small seaside town in Dorset. Buses are plentiful and the youth hostel is in a good position, albeit on a steep hill. This is my third visit to the hostel and is a good alternative to staying in nearby Bournemouth. Corfe Castle nearby and the town has lots of old buildings. A rewarding stay definitely. A good base to do a lots of walking too.

My son came with his school, they all had a fantastic time!! He was so sad he left his bear behind, Rosie saved the day and posted it tracked for a safe return! Thank you so much! Very kind x

Me and my family and friends have use this on exclusive hire for 7 years we love it and so look forward to our yearly gatherings in Swanage

Great location, clean rooms and showers, friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast

Great hostel, clean rooms and a really good value breakfast. Handy for Swanage town and for the Jurassic coast.

A super base for exploring Dorset with easy access to Poole.

Nearly 5* but the self catering kitchen was cramped. We had a stunning view and loved that the kids had a room they could go in and be kids and there was a separate lounge type room. Beautiful house, all the staff were incredibly helpful and just so nice. Will probably return next year.

Definitely recommend this yha - friendly and helpful staff, clean accommodation
