Dorms are not currently available.
Dorm rooms have multiple beds and are shared with other people who may not be travelling together. They are usually more affordable than private rooms as you'll be booking a bed rather than the whole room.
A typical shared dorm room includes bunk beds, a reading light and a storage cupboard for each guest.
Children aged between 12 and 15 can stay in dorm rooms as long as an adult of the same gender accompanies them.
Shared shower and toilet facilities are located near to the room. Some of our shared dorm rooms are en-suites, meaning that they have a bathroom that you would share with other guests who are also staying in the room.
Want some privacy? With a private room, you'll be booking the whole room for your stay.
Private rooms typically include a storage cupboard and reading light for each bed, plus a wash hand basin.
Shared shower and toilet facilities are located near to the room.
For added privacy, relax with your family, friends or by yourself in a private en-suite room.
Private en-suite rooms typically include a storage cupboard and reading light for each bed, plus shower and toilet facilities solely for the people in your room.

The 600 year old restored Dominican friary has maintained many historical features and is set in a large walled garden giving you a truly peaceful break. When it comes to having an epic story to tell, you'll wish YHA Beverley Friary's walls could talk.
One of our best historic youth hostels, the Blackfriars first built in timber on our site in 1240 and a 15th century gateway still stands in our front garden. There's no wonder people have claimed to see ghosts here, including a smiling Dominican Friar! A patchwork of bricks from different eras and sensitive restoration work, you could find an old iron oven, vintage wooden beams or an exposed stone chimney in your bedroom.
We're super proud of our history and have a stunning Tudor wall painting in our Great Hall - a remarkably well-preserved pattern of leaves and flowers. There's even an exhibition within our building, filled with interesting artifacts like a carved stone head, information boards and a walk-on glass floor of friary food.
It's taken decades to get our precious building looking this good, with the derelict Beverley Friary causing controversy in the 1970s; even being described as "a bottomless pit for cash". We became a youth hostel in 1984 and are a protected Grade II* listed building. Come and experience our unique accommodation for yourself or read one of the books about our amazing past.
Manager recommends: Don’t miss Beverley Minster, stroll over the road and explore the most amazing Gothic church in Europe - free entry but personally I’d pay the entry for a guided roof tour to see the church construction, tread wheel and get up close to the stained glass. Whether you're using it as a base for cycling and walking holidays or activity breaks, shopping or birdwatching, Beverley makes a magical setting for your Yorkshire break.
