Little Gem in the Foothills of Hellvellyn
There is a first time for everything. At the age of 58, my first stay at a Youth Hostel was a memorable one. What a journey up the track to the lodgings, not for the faint hearted, but wll worth the trip. A breath taking view awaits you. As soon as you enetred the building the warmth and friendliness of the staff lifted and relaxed you. Nice little room with clean Bunks, lovely and warm and amazing views to the stream and river. We enjoyed a nice drink at the bar too. Shower was fine and toilets clean. Breakfast was only a sausage or bacon bun (veggie options) but it was great quality. I'd certainly go again. You get a real sense of community with other walkers too. We ate down the hill in Glennridding, but food was available. Overall, most enjoyable and value for money.

Wow - thanks for the great review John! Great to hear you enjoyed your first experience at a YHA with us and found the hostel and facilities suitable for your needs! Our location is great isn't it?! Its always nice to hear our guests share stories in the communal areas after a days walking :). Hope to see you back again in the future.

Decent staff, couple of issues with the hostel
Excellent staff and customer service. Showers were too small resulting in clothing getting wet - and I'm only 5ft 8ins and 11 stone. Bear in mind, self catering kitchen is locked overnight (nothing to tell you this as far as I'm aware) so check they'll leave it open if you want an early start.

Réponse de YHA Helvellyn le 18 sept. 2021
Thank you for your feedback David! Great to see you found the staff friendly and helpful during your stay with us. We are sorry that you didn't find the showers too user friendly, we will look in to this to see if there is anything we as staff can do. Although the Self Catering does get locked this is to ensure that it can be cleaned and kept Covid friendly. We are more than happy to open it though to help our guests out when needed. Thanks again for the review and we hope to see again soon.

Clean and quiet. The staff are helpful. Fully equipped kitchen and dry room for wet clothes. But the air quality inside the eight people dormitory room is poor because the window is small.

헬벨린에서 묵어보세요
헬벨린 고개를 넘어가는것이 무서웠지만 그래도 좋은 숙박이었습니다. 모두 친절하였지만 다른 Yha에 비해 조식이 부실하고 불편하였습니다

Voyage en famille avec de jeunes enfants
Les points forts : Propreté, personnel et service, équipements
Loved the location, a stone's throw to the ski slopes (closed of course now) and many high fells. Only chip in their armour was the lack of hot water in the showers, or it might have been my inability to work out how to control the temp (tried a couple of shower cubicles though). I like my showers cold, so it didn't bother me in particular, but I know for others it could be hell. I'm a bit on the wild side, so other things I heard from others (more mainstream comfort minded): access is not ideal for a saloon car, no mobile phone signal in the area, wifi downstairs only, place is isolated so you're effectively forced to spend your time there. Worked fine for a last minute bargain mini holiday for me and my children, though!

Helvellyn
Excellent location for those wishing to climb Helvellyn, turn left from the main entrance and your enroute. 30 Min walk down to Glenridding where there are a few pubs, shops and Ullswater Steam Boats. Good quality clean bedding provided, resteraunt, kitchen and bar in hostel. Only downside is road up to hostel, uneven gravel with large potholes/dips, did make it in an Aygo but was really concerned I could lose my Exhaust. Overall very good value if you want to do some walking/cycling on a budget, just take care with vehicle for getting there.

The place was packed, and I hardly noticed.
The room was quite and neat. I showed up, and passed out. In the morning I took a walk up to Hellwellyn. It was cold and rainy, but I am sure it is spectacular on a clear day.

excellent location
Hostel is in an excellent position for walking up Hellvelyn and not too far away from Keswick and other lovely areas of the Northern Lakes, Very relaxed atmosphere with hard working and helpful staff. Food was good and very reasonable prices for breakfast or dinner. Bar was handy - they also sold chocolate bars etc. and toiletries. Beds were extremely comfy and showers were hot. In all,very good value. First time for my using a YHA but definitely would go back.

Needed a local place to rest before climbing helvellyn etc the following day. Beds were comfy,room was clean. Very stuffy as the heating is constantly on. The social room could do with new furniture as the sofas were broke. Lovely breakfast with a vegetarian option. Beautiful scenery.
