Location was perfect, kitchen was well set up and clean. Other guests were very friendly and made friends. It was clean and spacious. dining room was nice. Perfect for a hiking holiday.

On the third day the code to the main door was changed while I was hiking and I was not notified. Apparently it was sent to the phone number on my booking.com account, but since I was travelling internationally, I had a different phone number. Had I been notified that it was a possibility that the code would change, I think it would have been easier and less confusing. Luckily another guest let me in.

Clean, comfortable accommodation with good facilities for self catering. Staff were helpful especially when I became ill during my stay. A very short walk to the centre of Keswick and goodxsized parking area. A great location for exploring this area of the Lake District. I would stay again when in the area.

The dining and lounge area could have been more welcoming. I found these areas a bit spartan but I appreciate that hostel accommodation will not have all the comforts of a much more expensive guest house or hotel

I liked how quiet it was even when a team of football boys stayed overnight. There are plenty of clean toilets and showers. The lounge with TV was a great space to relax and catch up with other travelers. Socks & T’s dried quickly in the spacious drying room. There is a lovely private back area for outdoor sitting. The staff were all exceptional. I really like Denton, do would you.

Smokers in the front outside table area was the only detrimental thing during my 4 nite stay.

The location is great, right by a bus stop, garage just round the corner, and the town centre just a few minutes walk. I stayed in a female-only dorm and it was great. Beds were fairly comfy, plenty of storage areas in cupboards and boxes under the beds. Doors to the buildings and specific dorms had keycode locks, which was handy for coming and going as you please during unstaffed hours - I happened to be doing various walks in the area so was late coming in but early to leave. Kitchen facilities were great, all you could need to prepare meals, blank labels left by the fridges so you can mark your own stuff. Drying rooms for gear too. Good value for money, was pleasantly surprised. Would stay here again if coming back to Keswick.

The only thing really was some mess in the communal dining areas / kitchens but people are supposed to clean up after themselves so not much can be done. Still fairly well kept all things considered.

Great staff. Really helpful, especially when i needed to find a way to plug in my mobility scooter (i have chronic fatigue) and the scooter i hired was too big to bring inside. They came up with a solution and it made enjoying my stay that much more practically possible cause I was able to pace my energy with the scooter.

It is a hostle so you just need to remember its a dorm room situation. I recommend a sleeping mask and ear plugs if thats troublesome. But all the people in my dorm (and there was a high turn over of guests) were lovely and respectful of eachother so this helped.

The location was nice, it wasn't a super far walk from the bus stations/town, and it was a quiet area. The room was a nice size for the number of beds, although it might feel pretty crowded when full (room for 12, but only 2 full for the night I was there). There were also sinks in the room, hangers on the ends of the beds, and storage lockers for your stuff (need your own lock. There were also a lot of common spaces and kitchen areas

I wish there were outlets in the room for each bed--there were only a couple near the door which would not be ideal with a full room. There also weren't lockers that could actually lock for every bed. The bottom bunks just had drawers that slid under the bed.

Very nice welcome and check in with Christina who went out of her way to help me. Secure storage for my bicycle was excellent and helped put any security concerns out of my mind. My room was lovely and clean, bed comfortable and shared shower was also very clean with a super hot shower with good water pressure. There is also a shared drying room which got my wet cycling gear dried overnight The whole hostel was very quiet and relaxing and is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. For people who are expecting hotel type luxuries you will be disappointed, this is a dormitory with shared rooms, for the price you cannot complain, even the Youth Hostel in Keswick was nearly twice the price of this place.

This was the first time I have used a shared dormitory, I was in a 4 bed room with 1 other guest which was a little strange but soon got used to it. I felt sorry for Ashleigh,the other guest, as I was leaving early in the morning and hoped I didn't disturb her too much when packing my stuff up, if only I had thought to do so the night before.

Staff friendly and allowed for my early evening arrival. Room and beds were clean. Kitchen was clean and had all the necessary utensils and it was nice eating in the communal dining room. Location was excellent - close to the centre of Keswick for food/restaurants and good for cycle rides to the surrounding area, including one along the old Keswick railway line.

Could have had a more secure metal fitting or rail to lock bikes to in the cycle storage (I used the wooden post as the bike stands were quite old.)

I wrote in your Visitors' book: "Clean Convenient and Convivial" Since I chose to drive overnight (to avoid M6/M5 traffic ajms) on Thursday August 1st I did not stay the sixth night. I could not find anyone to ask whether that might be refunded. I checked out before 10 a.m. on Thursday August 1st and stripped my bed accordingly. Is a refund for that unused night possible?

Some noisy room occupants on first night. Owing to the warm weather, the fuller room then was somewhat stifling.

The hostel is close to the city center. Everything looks very well maintained and clean.

Water pressure in the female showers was not very good. For the size of the room -and the price per night- there were too many guests, witjh all that this implies (not enough sockets, no individual lights, people entering and leaving the.room at so manu different times)
