YHA Haworth - Partner

Historical building, friendly staff, great value for location. This is a hostel, so the price reflects this, so it cannot be compared to local hotels or guest houses. My score is based on what I personally gained from my visit. It is an interesting building and part of the history of Haworth. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the building and area. It is possible to purchase breakfast but I chose not to due to my time commitments elsewhere.

Nothing.

Great location and was welcoming from the start. Room was clean and we got extra pillows promptly when asked. Games room was loved by the kids and was a nice place to relax (we had it to ourselves!). We didn’t have breakfast but saw another guest eating and it looked good!

The building as a whole looked a little tired but it is a glorious building and wonderful to see it being used.

Incredibly beautiful building. I was in awe entering it, and the staircase up has beautiful stained glass windows and a lovely area to relax at on the first floor. Kitchen facilities were stunning and very clean. It was quite empty when I was there - I only met two other groups of guests - so I had the kitchen to myself each time I was cooking! Even the games room is beautiful. Bliss.

The mattress was too soft unfortunately.

The building is beautiful, and it’s a 25 minute walk from the Brontë Parsonage Museum.

I debated a long time before leaving a review, I don’t like to post negative comments, but in the end I just didn’t feel safe in this hostel and I wouldn’t like another woman travelling alone to go through the same thing. - It is asked to leave the window open for ventilation but the wire holding it was nearly broken, so anyone could open it from the outside(same in the washroom) - For a few hours I was wondering if I was going to be the only guest sleeping in this huge house, which is quite scary but manageable obviously. Then some people came in the middle of the night, I have no idea if there was staff or not but they kept talking at 3am like it was 8pm. - I get why there aren’t any padlocks in hostel dorms, but I very much regretted not having one in my private room, in those circumstances. - The shared bathroom was just dirty, with stuff you don’t want to find in the toilet. There was mold too I also asked the staff when I arrived if I could leave my luggage the following morning. I was told no because the hostel was privately booked the following weekend, and then only when I said it was not convenient, the guy told me I could leave my stuff until 1pm. I ended up leaving as fast as I could the following morning anyway, considering the whole experience. I have a feeling it’s not going to be a hostel for long, it seems more profitable to them to book them privately, maybe they should focus on that and not be awful to hostel guests.
