Keswick is such a great town and so well located for hiking and playing in the Lakes. The YHA was lovely and so centrally located on the river by the park. Very well equipped with a great cafe too. My only complaint is that the bedroom doors shut noisily which means you wake with the early risers. All else was perfect

Stayed before, brilliant staff and location. I'd have given it five stars overall if the matress had been nicer (like a gym mat) and the cheap metal bed creaked badly.

For a busy hostel, the kitchen needs upgrades. It is a far cray from other howtels we stayed at in Scotland, especially.

Blown away by the place. First time in YHA and we will return. Amazing facilities. Superb location. Beautiful views. Fantastic staff. Can’t rate it enough. We had a private room with shared shower and WC (also never done this before) and it was brilliant!

Lovely place to stay for a couple of nights. Staff were very welcoming.Room was fine just a little warm so just left the widow open a little. Toilets & showers were clean. Kitchen was great. Breakfast was okay wouldve been better if the bacon / hash browns were warmer. Good for a hungry person as they give you more if you ask. Had very noisy neighbours but thats not the staffs fault just very thoughtless people that obviously thought they had the whole building to themselves.
