Had fab time despite the weather in this centrally located youth hostel. Stayed in a family room for two nights and found everywhere clean and suitbale for our needs- a double bed would have been appreciated but will look for this in the future. Only paid £20 a night and felt this was great value as had river view room.... More

Stayed here as part of the YHA's 'Winter Family Magic' deal. Great value - only £30 for a family of four for one night including evening meal. The evening meal was of a good standard - sausage and mash - and the sausages were good quality. The rooms were warm and comfortable and there was a lovely family atmosphere. In... More

I spent two nights here in January 2012. The hostel was nice and they offered breakfast, lunch and dinner. I had breakfast and dinner on both nights and thought the meals were good, for hostel standards. The showers were lovely and warm and the rooms comfortable. However the most amazing thing was the price. They had a special offer of... More

Family of 5 stayed here in Jan 2012. Staff were very polite and efficient (obviously we did not encounter David or Felix or they have been retrained / given the boot!). Such a good budget option if you plan to be outside most of the day. Why? - 1) Location - Smack bang in the middle of one of the... More

Stayed for 2 nights over New Year - same as last year but a big difference. We booked a 6 bedded room and were told that we could only book a 2 night package this time ( including dinner ) - Head Office had said this We paid quite a lot and were very surprised to find that their were... More

Stayed with friends for a fews days at YHA Keswick, which is right on the waters edge. The hostel is nicely furnished with a nice restaurant and lounge, as well as self-catering for those who prefer that option. We received excellent service from Martin (a very interesting, knowledgeable man) but appalling service from DAVID who really deserves the sack!!! He... More

Excellent service provided by Neil and Robin. Paid for 3 nights, but checked out after 2, but was not offered reimbursement. Will not return for Christmas and New Year. Due to unprofessional and rude service provided by David and Felix, what should have been a pleasant and restful stay became otherwise. Youthful arrogance should not forget that it is paying... More

We stayed for one night in a private 4 bed room. We received a warm welcome at reception and were told of the various facilities within the hostel, including lounge, dry room and restaurant. The room consisted of a bunk bed and two single beds, there was a sink and plenty of storage. The room was clean and airy. Breakfast... More

Only stayed here for 1 night but it was most enjoyable. The Youth Hostel is situated right at the side of the River Greta. Even though there is no on site parking we had no trouble finding a space on the road nearby. It is a short walk then at the side of the river to the hostel. Check in... More
