Some of the toilet and shower don’t have a fan which caused some bad smell.

Bathroom lights very light early in the morning and side lights on the bed too.

Bar was nice, good parking, lovely room and facilities

Not the most comfortable bunk bed, and the duvet was far too warm, even with the window open! No alternative was available, so I will take my own next time.

Fantastic view from the room as well as the lake frontage. Facilities excellent, with the restaurant and bar an additional bonus.

Well, everything is good,

The location and the facilities are nice, staffs are nice especially the young girl, sorry I didn't know her name. But she said she is new to the hostel. Something wrong with my payment so finally we sorted.

I never really have any complaints to make about this hostel, but reluctantly, I feel that I needed to on this occasion. Again, no food was being served from the restaurant, which ended my sausage and mash desire immediately. The room I was allocated looked like it hadn't been cleaned due to the amount of dust and dirt that was all over the skirting boards and wooden surfaces (it's OK though, I cleaned it myself).

Being a regular visitor on the YHA network, it is always such a pleasure staying at the hostel in Ambleside. The location is perfect, and the staff are always both professional and friendly. Unfortunately, I have had to write comments in the negative section this time (which is something I never do), but it won't stop me from visiting again very soon. Thumbs up from me. 👍

The only thing was the cost, but that’s coming from a 21 year old with little money so i’m sure the older tourists will have no problem with that haha.

the atmosphere, the amount of people who were staying there and of course the location. the staff were super lovely too :)

The kitchen was closed due to ‘staff shortages’ which I was unaware of until I checked in, so the sausage & mash that I’d been looking forward to whilst on the train will have to wait until my next visit.

As always, another pleasurable stay at the YHA in Ambleside. It’s a shame that I could only stay for the one night this time, but the service, location, and the staff were as always, exceptional, and I’ll definitely be heading back up there again very soon.

The room could be slightly cleaner around the edges, but for the price, shouldn't complain.

Homemade yoghurt at breakfast was so good.

Spectacular location , clean rooms and comfortable beds !

We were self catering and the kitchen was very chaotic at meal times. We ended up having evening meal very very late and breakfast very early to beat the rush.

Location was fantastic, it was clean and good value for money off peak.

My recent one-night stay at the hostel was nothing short of fantastic. The cleanliness of the facilities was impeccable, setting the stage for a comfortable and enjoyable experience. However, what truly stood out was the absolutely amazing lady at the reception. Her warmth, friendliness, and attentiveness made me feel instantly welcomed and valued as a guest. Additionally, the hostel's lounge area was another highlight of my stay. It provided a cozy and inviting space to relax and unwind, adding an extra layer of comfort to my overnight retreat. Overall, I can't recommend this hostel enough. With its great cleanliness, welcoming atmosphere, and exceptional staff, it exceeded all my expectations. Whether you're staying for just one night or longer, you're sure to have a wonderful experience here.
