What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Beverley Friary YHA offers a truly unique stay in a historic former friary, lauded for its brilliant location near Beverley's main attractions. While many appreciate the building's charm and suitability for events, some guests have noted concerns regarding the cleanliness of communal bathrooms and kitchens, and limited on-site parking.
"The place was nice, and the location was brilliant. However, they can make some improvements, like getting rid of the spider webs in room 3. I shared that room with 2 others, and we tried to avoid the webs as much as possible. The downstairs toilet was fart too small, and the showers were ridiculous as we needed to keep on switching it on when it switched off by itself, and the shower room was also small aswell."

"Rooms OK, lights and sockets all worked in ours, underbed storage a nice touch. Beautiful old building but let down by the cleanliness of communal bathrooms and kitchen which had to be cleaned on arrival. Tray of burnt food had been left in the oven. Cobwebs everywhere and kitchen window boarded up. To be honest, the dirtiest of any hostel I have stayed at. Very limited parking but public parking nearby."
Julie Redmond
"We hired The Friary for our wedding in November. We had a roaring fire in the great hall and all the guests were so impressed with the buildings charm. The manager and staff were incredibly accommodating and allowed us to visit so many times to make sure everything was in place. Fantastic venue for any group in the heart of Beverley."
