Parking Plastic mattress Loo roll got stuck all the time 1.90 for a cuppa Staff were miserable

From a frosty welcome to a plastic covered hospital mattress, to a very “good riddance” goodbye I would say this hostel was not a pleasant stay! 1.90 for a cuppa and very cramped and somewhat dangerous kitchen for self catering, it’s not ideal! Cooked breakfast for £10 looked great but didn’t have it. Was quiet for a hostel which was nice but felt unwelcoming. Rooms basic, hospital mattress with plastic on them which you kind of mould into and very uncomfortable. Staff seemed pissed off if asked anything. Toilets and showers ok but take flip flops. Parking is a nightmare! Bit or a dark up hill walk to the reception if you get a parking space!!! Check In 5pm and not a moment sooner and you will wait in the cold until your turn! Didn’t like it soz

Attended a family members 40th in the village. Locked out of hotel at early hours of the morning as the fob was not working!! luckily another guest was exiting the main hotel door at 2am. Radiators in all 3 Rooms did not work!

bunk beds screwed to the wall meant every footstep or door opening was felt through the bed. worst nights sleep I’ve had in a long time. breakfast was buffet style. dry bacon. not worth £9.95 in my opinion.

very friendly and helpful staff. great location. spacious room.

Bedroom extremely basic. Food poor quality. Manager was passive/aggressive on arrival.. He could do with some customer service training.

Obviously expensive location & popular day of week but is is Hostel facilities for hotel prices. It is close to where we needed to be next day early morning. but the lack of possibility to park near room was rather inconvenient.

Friendly helpful staff . Clean shared self catering kitchen & clean basic room - 2 bottom bunks with pristine white bedding

We were traveling with two small children (3 and 6), and for them the showering options were not the best. I agree that we were traveling to the Lake District still in a busy season (end of August), but paying £258 for two nights in a hostel (without breakfast) is way too expensive in my opinion. Also, we were located in the annex building, which was not as nice as the main building that we were hoping for.

The location is nice, in the middle of a forrest, close to the lake and the town centre.

Mainly no charging station in the room, WiFi and sleeper beds not good.

Very good atmosphere

Beds could have been more comfortable. Quite expensive as compared to a bed and breakfast mainly due to having to pay extra for breakfast.

Staff were friendly and responsive. Facilities generally were good, we enjoyed sitting in the lounge backing onto green gardens. Beds slightly uncomfortable and quite of noise late into the night/early morning. Breakfast was pretty good although more cereals would have been nice and a greater range of fruit.

The room (13) we stayed in was very noisy. The room was adjacent to the self catering kitchen and below a lavatory. The floor of the lavatory was squeaky whenever anyone asked on it, the flushing of the loo was very noisy in the room and when used the hand dryer as really noisy. Not a good place to try and sleep. Also there was a shortage of a downstairs loo in this block.

The YHA atmosphere is good as always

Stayed in June 2022

Noise from baths and showers, bad smelling inside the rooms/building, poor furniture to a very low standard, the whole interior of the building at a bad state needing renovating, no towels, door handle in the room broken, very poor value for money.

I didn't like the large hole in the centre of my room floor. I complained to the staff who were not very helpful and couldn't answer any of my health and safety questions.

The location was great

Stayed in May 2022

Uncomfortable bed, few bathroom facilities, no wifi in my room. Reception is closed for several hours each day.

The historical building is beautiful, located amidst flowering trees in historic Grasmere. You can buy breakfast, coffee, beer, and snacks at reception. There are laundry facilities on site and a water bottle filling station. Parking is free. The duvet provided was very comfortable.
