Transgender day of remembrance trip
As a non binary person and woman I was treated with dignity and respect by the staff of the YHA and allowed to wait in tge television lounge Only negative was a lot of old people in the hostel as guests with their outdated attitudes towards LGBTQI+ people

Top location for staying in Whitby
There is no doubt that this is the best place to stay in Whitby, simply for its location. In addition to that it is a very well-run youth hostel. My only criticism is that there was sometimes no one in reception, which made it difficult to get information, until you became one of the people in the know, to know that you should go to the tea-room (also called the cafe) where you will find someone to help.
