This is a great hostel sitting right on the river in the heart of Keswick. We stayed in a private room, which had a bunk bed and sink. Quite cosy but all we needed. The only down side to the room was its proximity to the kitchen which made it quite noisy. Beds were comfy though and the hostel provides... More

Thank you for your comments about the quality of your stay. The kitchen is well equippped and generally everyone works around each other. If you find it busy it could be a welcome change to try our restaurant if you visit again. The meals are good and very reasonably priced. Have a great summer. Anne More

Excellent drying room as well as a washer and dryer. Breakfasts were good. The mattress on the bed for very hard so if you have a... More

We do have fantastic views over the park to Skiddaw and from some rooms the view over the town to the fells beyond. Our full Engllish breakfast is good and gives... More

Typical YH features with helpful staff and great restaurant. Comfortable room with good nearby showers. Big lounge and good drying room. Lovely location on river. Near to town shops, but also near enough to hills, paths et.

My family stayed in a family room at this hostel in April 2013. We stayed for 3 nights and I found all the staff helpful. The self-catering kitchen, whilst basic, which does seem to be the way at YHAs, was perfectly adequate, and allowed us to cook plenty of meals. Eating space is quite limited as there are only 3...

Thank you for your kind comments about the staff and hostel. Sorry if you were disturbed with late arrivals and doors banging. If ever this problem arises again during a stay in a hostel then please contact staff who will do what they can to ask others to be quieter. Hope to see you on another visit More

The staffs were approachable. My friends and I had a nice stay there. The table tennis at the ground floor was enjoyable, while the pool and the self catering kitchen at the first floor were so helpful! The location was just nice, near the town centre.

Thank you for your comments about the hostel and friendly staff. We are pleased you throughly enjoyed our facilites. The self catering kitchen has to be closed for health and safety reasons due to being placed in the centre of the hostel and it is opened as soon as staff come back on duty at 7am. More
