YHA Voted a Top Place to Stay
The YHA has been awarded fifth place in the Best UK Hotel category of the 2007 Observer Travel Awards (an improvement on seventh place last year). This is a tremendous achievement, especially when you consider that the other four nominees in the top five are luxury hotel chains charging three figure sums for a night’s accommodation.
The awards are made as a result of 13,500 questionnaires completed by Observer and Guardian readers who were asked to rate their holiday experiences. Clearly many of them loved their experience of the YHA, let’s hope the appearance of youth hostelling in a list dominated by five star luxury inspires other readers to give it a try.
