"Have discovered this place later in life but pleasantly surprised that all ages stay at a hostel!"

7.0

I had contacted the staff in advance as I had mistakenly sent a message via Booking.com to cancel the room but thankfully the staff member picked up my message quickly and was able to avoid the cancellation going through. I was very happy!

As a lone female, I was a bit concerned to be in a room with a roof outside my window. The closest shower room was also out of action.

"Amazing stay at YHA Ambleside"

10.0

Everything, and especially the staffs in the facility they have been extremely kind to us. I was a bit nervous staying in a hostel with 1 y/o daughter but at the end it came out as the best decision over staying in a fancy hotel with double money

Access to the hotel could be free from cars which was kind of blocking with parked vehicles while coming off from the main Street. Especially with the pram I had to be very careful not touching the car

位置方便,員工非常友善。 有免費裝水的地方。 湖景很漂亮。 房間有置物櫃,可以用自己的密碼鎖鎖住。

浴室只有固定式的蓮蓬頭。 房間門怪怪的,有時候會關不上。
