You get what you pay for, and it was a bargain stay for Sheringham on August Bank Holiday weekend but it left a lot to be desired. The check-in time is very restrictive - 5-10pm, exactly when you want to get dinner and go to the theatre! The chap on reception was friendly and kindly stamped my YHA passport. The weekend in question was very hot, so it was a sweaty night on the plastic wrapped mattress and a window that wouldn't open very far. On the plus side - the room was quiet, the bathrooms were clean, and people were respectfully enjoying the communal areas.

I had thought that hostelling was just for young people and still think it is an excellent way for them to experience the world cheaply. However, I am delighted to inform people that in an era when B&Bs have grenerally become too expensive boutiques, the hostelling option is a very worthwhile option and this hostel is excellent - very friendly and helpful staff, very clean and cheap and with great countryside nearby for walking and visiting.

Really good hostel, clean, well ran, professional staff, good food, nice rooms, good drying room and the facilities are good. It's right next to a big Tesco which is helpful. A really good YHA hostel.

YHA Sheringham is a great place to relax, with basic, good value accommodation. We had the three person 'private' room, with two people. The location is a few minutes walk from the main and heritage railway stations, the town centre, and a supermarket. It is in a quiet, residential location and the building is spacious and welcoming. There are plenty of communal areas, such as TV room, pool table area, a large communal dining area and a dining room off the kitchen. The self-service kitchen is OK, and just about adequate for the amount of people I saw using it. The paid breakfast was of a good offering, both continental and full, with tea, filter coffee and juice. Consumption of own alcohol is not allowed, which is fair enough, considering. Communal showers were adequate and reasonably clean. The staff were friendly and helpful, reception is staffed evenings 5-10, although they are also around mornings to do breakfasts and clean. You can get hot drinks, cake and wine/beers on reception. Prices for all food/drink were ok. We didn't have a car, but there seemed adequate parking out front...to be honest though the area is great to explore without a car. The hostel is in a great location for enjoying the North Norfolk coast, and the hostel clientelle at the time of year reflect this (mostly 'mature', sorry if stereotyping!), with a combination of long distance walkers, cyclists, or those like us just using the trains, walking around and eating in the various pubs, restaurants or cafes. My wife wasn't a great fan of the plastic coated mattresses, which isnt to everyone's liking, so she had to put the duvet under her. As it was hot, she only used a sheet on top. Towels are extra to hire, although this is standard practice for YHA and no great hassle. There could have been better signage for the toilet near to our room, as it took a while to work out that it was in the wet room adjacent. The only random incident was when there was a power cut in the area in the middle of the night. Although it was unavoidable, it did cause a bit of confusion among guests. To be fair, the on-call member of staff who came in did their best to find out what was happening, although it was really outside their control. It's my third time here, and equally as good as before. Definitely one of my favourites. First time for my wife, who was sceptical about a YHA with shared bathrooms etc, but I think the quality of Sheringham was a good enough experience for her to cope!

Great location - 2mins from town! Stayed there few times, but looking a litle "tired" now...ie the downstairs wet room needs a DEEP clean - it is clean but stained. And the downstarirs bedroom windows might have some of that sticky stuff put over the glass (at least half way up) so people don't get a fright when the seem me in my boxers!

Lovely hostel convenient for the town very clean with a well equipped kitchen, the freezer is especially appreciated by us. But the jewel in the crown here are the great staff new and old Mike, Saba, Amy Maddie and others, friendly, knowledgeable and helpful see you next September.

This was a great place to explore the local area. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the breakfast was good. Showers were clean and there was a pool table. The staff were friendly. What more could you want?
