Yha Patterdale Hostel

Review by hotel critic

During my recent stay at YHA Helvellyn, I was impressed by the value proposition offered by the hostel. the shared kitchen was well, equipped and clean, allowing guests to prepare their own meals and save on dining expenses. the laundry facilities were convenient for travelers in need of clean clothes, especially after a long hike in the beautiful surrounding area. the carpeted floors in the rooms added a touch of comfort, and the free Wi, Fi in public areas was a nice bonus. the hostel also offered free parking, which was a great convenience for those arriving by car. the bar/lounge area provided a relaxing space to unwind after a day of exploration, and the picnic area with garden furniture was perfect for enjoying the stunning views of the surrounding landscape. the leisure/TV room was a nice touch for those looking to relax indoors, and the board games provided entertainment of all ages. YHA Helvellyn strikes a good balance between cost and luxury, offering a comfortable and budget, friendly accommodation option for travelers visiting the Lake District. I appreciated the cleanliness of the facilities and the friendly and professional staff. the no pets allowed and no smoking policy helped maintain a peaceful atmosphere throughout the hostel. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to the area.
