YHA Stratford-Upon-Avon

Great building, with some lovely communal rooms. Great kitchens, and immaculately clean. Staff were incredibly helpful. Generous breakfast was offered (minor-est of problems, the veggies sausages were awful, but that's just a question of taste). All good, would certainly recommend.

I trevelled with my husband and some of our friend the food was disappointing, a few good options but some of the members I went with couldnt stomach , i personally got an okay room , hair under pillows, a few stains , a horrible smell coming from outside that only affected my room and a strong smell of urine coming from the bathroom . Others in my group had much worse rooms containing a lot more hair , stains , qnd pungent smells aswell as an item trhat hadnt been removed from the previous ocupants. Lots of cobwebbs and dead flys in windows however very nice grounds around the property , improvements to be done and definatly improve cleaning but otherwise it is not the worst place to stay and I would like to return to visit the pods due to the lovely reviews would have to convince my husband though haha.

I came here with my wife and a couple friend's. It wasn't really bad ,the food was nice to eat but we payed to much for it, the rooms weren't cleaned properly, under my pillow there was a hair ball and under one of our friend's pillow and wall there were boogers,under one of the beds were someone's dirty underwear,the only reason I enjoyed the stay was because my wife, wasn't able to fit onto one bed with me so we slept separately,best sleep of my life ,even though I woke up with sore muscles because the beds were quite hard and uncomfortable,the showers were basically throwing out ice cubes and the bathroom smelled like they were cleaned with urine. We all came back home with colds,the food gave one of my friends a mild allergic reaction.When you opened the window it smelled horrible,if you wanted to to make your room smell nice ,you couldn't do anything,if you sprayed any type of spray, for example hair dry shampoo or perfume or cologne it would set off the fire alarm.The outside was really nice and the interior was amazing ,the garden was beautiful and the field was outstanding.Overall if you want to sleep secretly with your wife you should come here!I really enjoyed some parts if this place.

The area is beautiful and the grounds are wondrous. Big old trees and a stunning building. I have never stayed in a hostel before. It was much better than I expected. The town is about a 40 minute walk, 10 mins in the car including finding somewhere to park. Also the staff, especially Marc was super helpful.

Superb. Friendly helpful staff. Well managed hostel. Lovely period house & grounds with more than adequate parking. Usual YHA food & separate clean self-catering area. One of the best hostel experiences in uk (in a 60 year trial run!) Thank you all for two great stays recently.
