YHA Ambleside

I stayed one night in the hostel. Definitely l will be back in the same place soon

Very great location around the lake. Super view, there was enough parking around the hostel, but if there isn't, there are some other options for the customer that's great. The room was great, even if the mattress wasn't the best. A lot of showers and toilets for everyone. The kitchen is great, but there was nothing to make tea or coffee so bring your coffee bean or tea bag. Never been disappointed by the YHA ! The view of the lake is worth it for the calm.

such an incredible place, staff is incredible and the location is just stunning. Only 2 toilets and one shower shared between a floor of 5 rooms so about 30 people. Obviously nothing they can do about it but just be mindful if you have a rush out in the morning. Would apreciate if the beds had blinds like in most hostels, otherwise you have limited privacy as everyone in your room can see you.

Amazing location, their brekky is good value for money. The only real challenge is trying to find a car park. There are not enough directly near the hostel. Having an armchair to sit down in the room was a bonus.

Brilliant in every way shape and form

The location is perfect that facing the most beautiful lake. Fantastic!

Really friendly staff, great location, perfect for exploring nearby trails and towns

great place and location for great price

Is so so good

Great place by the lake! No complaints 👌

Amazing location. Everything you need at the hostel and so close to everything. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful location. Worth noting that it's still about a mile away from the main part of Ambleside. Kitchen + common spaces are nice, other areas could use updating. Wifi is only available on the ground floor. You're not allowed to use the common spaces before check in or after departure. Instead, you have to sit inside the busy restaurant/bar area with all of your stuff, which doesn't make sense to me since there is a large common area with many tables that is often empty on the same floor.

clean rooms, beautiful views and nice service. I recommend the hostel

I really enjoyed my stay — the view from the room was amazing, the staff were warm and welcoming, the facilities had everything I needed, and the room was spotless.

Toilets could be cleaner :(

Enjoyed my stay. Very nice hostel with amazing views. Parking can be a bit of an issue but because I stayed in the middle of the week I did not have much trouble. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay. Thank you.

Excellent location. The hostel is right next to the lake and our room overlooked the lake too. The staff were very friendly and I enjoyed having a couple of pints of Dortmunder next to the lake in the sun or on an evening when the sun was setting. We even went for a little swim from the jetty. I will definitely stay here again. I recommend this hostel.

Breathtaking views out the front with lots of outdoor seating - watched the sunset on the water every day! Good facilities, shower was hot and kitchen was well stocked with the kit you might need. Room was basic and comfortable - corridors could be a little noisy at times. Would stay again :)

Standard YHA. Mid tier hostel with not the cleanest shower area (although not unlike most hostels) and the doors in the rooms do not actually lock automatically. Must be done with a key so you have to trust that whoever leaves the room after you is going to lock it behind them. However, the absolute most perfect location and a more than fair price. For low maintenance people, I would definitely recommend here when visiting the lake district.

If it’s location you’re after this is perfect. If it’s a warm welcome, friendly staff atmosphere and a general calm environment I would suggest look elsewhere.
