Being quite tall I struggled with them. The beds were comfortable and each had a reading light & charging socket. There was plenty of space and storage in the room. The main issue we had was the smell from the shower. It just smelt so mouldy even with the extractor fan coming on every time you entered the room. There were some spots of mould on the ceiling (see picture) and it was not pleasant to use. On the first night we tried to eat at the hostel but were told they could not make loaded nachos that were on the menu so we ended up having to go elsewhere. The coffee machine was out of order awaiting repair. The social spaces were fine but the sofas were quite worn, the self catering kitchen was nice with lots of space. The location itself was great and parking is free for 24 hours in the nearby Quayside car park, or free for 2 hours in the car park outside the hostel (you do need a parking disc to park here). There is lots to see and do in the town centre, lots of places to eat and drink and lovely beaches 10 minutes drive away from the hostel. The staff were friendly and welcoming but when were leaving we asked how we found the stay to which I replied "Ok". It was fine for what it was and the cost but it could...

I had no idea how fantastic a stay at YHA could be until we visited YHA Berwick. After being unable to secure a room at a nearby location, we decided to give this place a try—and we were absolutely thrilled with our decision! The room was spacious and perfectly suited for our family of four, providing all the comfort we needed.
The location couldn’t have been better. Situated within easy walking distance of all the key sights in Berwick, we found it incredibly convenient to explore the area right from the doorstep.
A special mention must go to Scott, who checked us in. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel right at home with his warm welcome and wealth of local knowledge. His recommendations for bars and restaurants were spot on, making our dining experiences just as memorable as our stay. Scott’s friendly demeanor and sharp sense of humor really added to the overall experience.
