A couple of the showers on my floor were unfortunately out of order. Parking is very limited. Scaffolding on my dorm window unfortunately restricted the view of the lake. But in spite of all of this I would go back. The views and location were perfect. ##### Emma Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Maura Nov 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Awesome Absolutely bloody fantastic. I will stay YHA every time from now on. I loved it. Freedom to explore when you want and how you want. The comfiest single bed ever and a gorgeous hot shower too. Excellent location. Staff so helpful. I don't want to give this place the rating it deserves cos I want to keep it for myself, but yeah, Amazing. ##### Maura Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Aug 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Would gladly stay again I had a great stay; my long weekend at YHA Ambleside was above my expectations. The hostel could use a little basic TLC (little things like chipping paint or torn furniture in the lounges) however the view and location are amazing and outweigh any minor faults. For rooms without en-suite, showers and toilets were always available when needed and there was a sink in the room. Shared kitchen was always clean and staff were friendly and helpful. Cooked breakfast in the morning was great. Guests ranged from families with young children to groups of friends, solo travellers and older adults. Everyone was respectful. Really nice, relaxed atmosphere. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicola Apr 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Ok Sorry to put poor but the mattress was hard and damp and the pillow was uncomfortable and I could not sleep well at all. The room was way to hot even with the central heating off and the floor boards creeked a lot . But the view was lovely and the overall presence of the hostel was nice. The hot breakfast was poor as wasnt fresh but was nice to have the continental. The staff were friendly which was nice ##### Nicola Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Arun Apr 17, 2025 Liked: Amenities Excellent place to stay ##### Arun Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francisco Nov 20, 2025 Everything was fantastic ##### Francisco Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom Aug 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Enjoyable stay Enjoyable stay- so nice to be right on the lake as wel! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/953E085B8FEA21E15F17BE6D8E3C89FB63595B1D1723623772958.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Tom Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Amazing location and excellent facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vishesh Jul 5, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location and great value ##### Vishesh Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Red Lion](https://www.expedia.ca/Spalding-Hotels-The-Red-Lion.h104463023.Hotel-Information) > - [The Beach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Newquay-Hotels-The-Beach-House.h26990072.Hotel-Information) > - [Kilworth House hotel & Theatre](https://www.expedia.ca/Lutterworth-Hotels-Kilworth-House-Hotel-Theatre.h17244283.Hotel-Information) > - [Manor House Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Manor-House-Hotel-Alsager.h574627.Hotel-Information) > - [Clifton Park Hotel - Exclusive to Adults](https://www.expedia.ca/Lytham-St-Annes-Hotels-Clifton-Park-Hotel.h2301929.Hotel-Information) > - [Grassington Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Skipton-Hotels-Grassington-Lodge.h76266496.Hotel-Information) > - [Berry Cottage Croyde 4 Bedrooms Sleeps 7-9 Dog Friendly](https://www.expedia.ca/Braunton-Hotels-Berry-Cottage-Croyde-4-Bedrooms-Sleeps-7-9-Dog-Friendly.h36118469.Hotel-Information) > - [The Old Coach House](https://www.expedia.ca/Ripon-Hotels-The-Old-Coach-House.h13172407.Hotel-Information) > - [The Garden Rooms](https://www.expedia.ca/Alnwick-Hotels-Cabin-Walk.h78265449.Hotel-Information) > - [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > - [THE PIG at Harlyn Bay - Cornwall](https://www.expedia.ca/Padstow-Hotels-THE-PIG-At-Harlyn-Bay.h102933925.Hotel-Information) > - [Stylish and Cosy Cottage in the Heart of Yorkshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Leeds-Hotels-Stylish-And-Cosy-Cottage-In-The-Heart-Of-Yorkshire.h99661562.Hotel-Information) > - [Mosh Homes](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-LOVELY-PLACE-TO-BE.h44353906.Hotel-Information) > - [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.ca/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > - [2 bedroom accommodation in Muker near Reeth](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Hotels-2-Bedroom-Accommodation-In-Muker-Near-Reeth.h32928411.Hotel-Information) > - [April Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-April-Cottage.h11546801.Hotel-Information) > - [Cliveden House](https://www.expedia.ca/Maidenhead-Hotels-Cliveden.h518646.Hotel-Information) > - [Rose Cottage](https://www.expedia.ca/Skipton-Hotels-Rose-Cottage.h31001473.Hotel-Information) > - [Spring Gardens B&B](https://www.expedia.ca/Wadebridge-Hotels-Spring-Gardens-BB.h36049763.Hotel-Information) > - [The Feathered Nest Country Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-The-Feathered-Nest.h44085381.Hotel-Information) > - [Stonehenge Courtyard](https://www.expedia.ca/Stonehenge-Courtyard.h97558122.Hotel-Information) > - [Black Bull Bellingham](https://www.expedia.ca/Hexham-Hotels-Black-Bull-Bellingham.h4869733.Hotel-Information) > - [Southern Cross Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Sidmouth-Hotels-Southern-Cross-Guest-House.h3968950.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cross at Croscombe](https://www.expedia.ca/Wells-Hotels-The-Cross-At-Croscombe.h35380551.Hotel-Information) > - [Cowley Manor Experimental](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-Cowley-Manor.h1662540.Hotel-Information) > - [Lastingham Grange](https://www.expedia.ca/York-Hotels-Lastingham-Grange.h2798553.Hotel-Information) > - [Red Lion Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Ambleside-Hotels-Red-Lion-Inn.h99375254.Hotel-Information) > - [The Garden Room - Tiger Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Eastbourne-Hotels-The-Garden-Room-Tiger-Inn.h32092891.Hotel-Information) > - [Hermiston Guest House](https://www.expedia.ca/Keswick-Hotels-Hermiston-Guest-House.h15060297.Hotel-Information)
