The hostel was great and worth the stay for different reasons:
1. Amazing location with big lake, near public transportation
2. Friendly and helpful staff, you can borrow hair dryer at the reception. You can keep your bag in locker room also, bring £1 coin or ask lovely staff for tap to pay.
3. Huge shared kitchen with lots of cooking essentials which can be used to cook nearly everything you can.
4. Clean and well maintained room.
Can’t ask for more with this price.

The location of the hostel is very good, at the entrance of Ambleside Pier on the shore of Lake Windermere. The room is a physical key. The double room I stayed in was a bit smelly. The windows are old-fashioned and the seal is average, but the heating is very hot.
