The location of this yha is excellent you are right next to the water and close to Ambleside. We didn’t use our car all weekend choosing to walk or use the bus. The facilities are very clean and there is lots of space. The staff are friendly and welcoming

just good
The youth hostel gave a great experience for my group and me as a group leader. Far more than value for money, it is a positive caring and safe environment where you can come as you are -young and old- and enjoy a break as well as allow focus on the project at hand.

Mean-spirited staff wouldn't offer…
Mean-spirited staff at Rotherhithe London wouldn't offer anywhere to store a medium sized shoulder bag but a tiny box in the shared room which was much too small, so I had to carry it everywhere like a tramp because it contained an expensive camera and laptop.
I used them for years before this and had never come across such a problem. It made my stay unnecessarily unpleasant, I've never given them a second look since.

This makes me angry
This makes me angry. I have just spent considerable time completing a detailed survey. DO NOT ASK ME TO DUPLICATE MY TIME AND EFFORT BY UNNECESSARILY DOING THE EXACT SAME EXERCISE ALL OVER AGAIN FOR YOUR BENEFIT.

Lovely stay - will return!
This was my first stay at a youth hostel and I will definitely return to Ambleside and look into staying at other hostels. Really good value to stay in a room on my own with shared bathroom and the self catering arrangements worked really well.

Beautiful location and large hostel well kept
The location is wonderful and the staff are all very friendly. Clean and spacious hostel with pool table, table tennis and some games for kids. We will be visiting again in the summer. Only thing the mattress is not exactly the best.
