Small family room, but good shared facilities

Great location in Alnwick, easy walk to the castle. Overall the hostel was in good condition with good shared facilities. The room was a bit small for a family with luggage.

Nice Hotel. The Room was big enough. The Hotel Staff helped us. The best Youth Hostel I ever had. The Building is lovingly restored. A seperate room for table tennis and billard and football scooter. Breakfast room was very nice with a nice view.

Well run and friendly

My first hostel stay in 30 years - this time with family in tow - and it was wonderful. AYH is clean and clearly well run, and the staff were absolutely fantastic and friendly - and went out of their way to accommodate our requests (luggage storage, late breakfast order, random questions). We had a lovely time exploring Alnwick, visiting the castle, spending time in pubs and at Barter Books.

Stayed many times before

Always a pleasure to stay in the hostel as it’s friendly to disabled and lgbt people I’m both . Kristen welcomed me back again who helps to run the hostel. Only niggle is the late check in time but the room 10 was massive and quiet in the former courthouse and police station where the hostel is now situated. Only minutes walk from Alnwick castle and the shops and restaurants and pubs .

Good stop over.👍

Up for family gathering, one night stop.Friendly helpful reception. Arrived back late at night and couldn't tell which bed was made up. Would help to have a bright tag to identify it in the dark. All else good.

I was early to the check in time but they let me leave my bag in a storage room so i could go exploring without lugging it around. Also they helped me figure out the sunday bus schedule so i could see bamburgh castle. Loved how helpful they were!

Awesome. Two thumbs up!

We stayed as a family in a four bed (two bunkbeds) room. It was an amazing say. Great staff, awesome kitchen, and really really clean. You can tell they take pride in this facility. Walking distance to everywhere including the castle. Let us leave our baggage in the luggage room before and after our stay.

Shame about unruly posh children as this is a lovely hostel where I’ve stayed many times before . Running up and down the corridor all night these posh brats and their parents who couldn’t give a damn about the comfort and wellbeing of other people staying at the property

Value for money

Allereerst was ik huiverig om een hostel te boeken als gezin. Maar dit is een uitstekend hostel. Het is schoon genoeg en we hebben prima geslapen in een familiekamer. De prijsverhouding is prima. Aan de buitenkant denk je misschien waar komen we terecht, maar het is prima. Nog een pluspunt met een hotel is dat de kidneren er kunnen spelen; pingpong, poolen en tafelvoetbal. Zeer centrale ligging. Uit eten of naar de supermarkt kan allebei. Kortom: kinderen blij, wij blij.

Habitacion cuadruple con 2 literas. Todo limpio y sencillo. Maravillosa la atencion del personal, asi como la sala de juegos y la cocina, para preparar tu propio desayuno, si no solicitas el del hotel.
