We stayed for in this lovely YHA for two nights and wished it was for longer. 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!

The staff were very helpful and friendly. The YHA is positioned perfectly for all the local amenities. The place was spotlessly clean. I'll definitely stay they again when back in Swanage.

Wonderful place clean staff good food good.close to town beach, only negative staff smelt of cigarettes when booking me in , not nice

I enjoyed my stay here, kitchen was nicely laid out and spotless. Great to see recycling provisions too. Shower fine and shared a room for a very reasonable price. For a hostel i slept well and was not disturbed by noises outside my room. Great access to public transport and beach. Would stay again

Airy, spacious and sparkling clean this lovely Victorian Villa with views of the sea feels like a home from home.

I thoroughly enjoyed my 2 night stay at YHA Swanage. 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.

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

Good location, close to shops and beach. Friendly staff.

Perfect family room for 5 of us and with great facilities. Excellent value and good quality breakfast.

Really nice place for short break

Great hostel, clean and modern. Bedding provided. Decent showers, nice kitchen and comfortable common room

Great hotel with great facilities and an even better staff. Toni was an absolute superstar, best customer service experience Ive ever received. Highly recommended.

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 :)

Bunk beds need replacing, every time I moved it shook like it was going to collapse, this is Aalto very worrying when trying to climb up into the bunk..
