"Lovely stay at YHA Eskdale"

10.0

The hostel was in a fabulous spot with glorious views and great walks in the immediate vicinity. The staff were lovely - special mention to Reuben.

Showers were a bit hit and miss. Although hot you were practically kissing the wall trying to get a mere trickle of the water on to your body and after a long hike that wasn't the best but I did overhear the staff saying they have been trying to fix the problem and had plumbers out a few times. I heard a few guests complaining about the pressure/water/showers but it's not the staff's fault and they were doing the best they could.

"Great hostel at the bottom of Snowdon."

10.0

Great hostel at the bottom of Snowdon. The room was very comfortable and the shower was great. You have a socket on every bed. The restaurant is also good and the self catering kitchen is very clean.

The only downside is that there is not parking at the hostel so you have to prebook the one oposite (quite expensive and often fully booked if you dont book it well in advance) or get the park & ride from another car park.

The kitchen was very crowded and not as well equipped or laid out as other YHAs I’ve stayed in. Too small for the number of people using it and no fridge space available.
