Everything about our stay here was super. Lovely location, clean and comfortable, delightful grounds, good foodd, both for breakfast and particularly for evening meal.

Great location within walking distance to Castleton . The bunk bed was comfortable but a bit on the noisy side when you turn over . We had the option for breakfast and it was cooked very well and tasty .

Room was mucky, cobwebs, dirt on the floor. Staff took ages signing us in, did not give breakfast times, came down 9:15 too late for breakfast. For £110 a room, I was very disappointed and also the pipes or something were so loud throughout the night so very little sleep.

The hostel was nothing like in the description! The beds was uncomfortable, spiders all over in the room. The receptionist ask to strip the bed before we leaving. We have booked a bedroom for 2 persons. When we arrived the receptionist told us we can’t get the bedroom we booked for because a school trip going on in the hostel so we need the stay in another building next to the hostel which was totally separated, that building was empty, no other guest or anyone so we was really scared with my sister plus they wanted to charge us 10£ extra because of the bigger room what we didn’t book for. The receptionist said there will be kitchen open to buy dinner so we decided with my sister to go and get some dinner but when we went the receptionist said unfortunately there isn’t any food just only pizza which is small size and was costing over £10. He said to us if we not happy we can go to the Castleton village which is 20 min walk to get something to eat. We had to walk from the hostel to the main gate which takes about 12min in total in the middle of the “park” (because the hostel is in the middle of a private park) without any light. There is no light or anything so in the darkness we had to turn on the flashlight on the phone for we can at least see the way after all this we walked like about other 10 min till the village next to the main road there was one side only fields and other side kind of small forest. It wasn’t a great experience at all specially only 2 girls alone.

Really great location for hiking and Castleton is beautiful. However the walls in the hostel are paper-thin, and we were placed in a room next to a family. We were awoken every morning at 6 am throughout our entire stay.

Lovely building with some amazing restored original features. Very clean bedrooms and communal areas. Helpful and friendly staff.

The youth hostel is in amazing grounds and some of the public areas are very regal (like the lounge with leather sofas). The staff were welcoming and helpful. Of course, you don't expect luxury in youth hostels, but when you are paying £98 a night with no breakfast, then something is not right with the pricing. The ensuite bunk bed we had was in real need of redecoration and there was just tepid water in the tiny plastic shower room. Honestly, that would be fine, as this is what you expect of a sector catering to young people who might not have a lot of money. But if you are older and can afford nearly £100 a night, I would advise going to a nearby hotel in Castleton instead.

Don't expect any chance of checking in earlier than 5pm - reception is shut (literally, shutters down). Reception staff ignored me as I waited 15 minutes before. The male member of staff who checked me in was bizarre, condersending. No evening meal option as they weren't offering it. No notification of this prior to arrival. Room ok, basic. Comfortable bed.

Friendly and helpful staff. The only downside was the condition of the road surface near the building. Huge potholes that are not well visible at dusk.

We really enjoyed our trip to the YHA castleton. The hall had gorgeous grounds and was only a short walk away to the village. They had a lovely lounge with a log burner lit, where we played cards for a bit. Overall our stay was perfect for what we wanted.

I used the train and it was an easy walk to the hostel. Good clean self catering kitchen. Love the library and doctor who tardis. One fault was that was tv on at breakfast and the YHA were not allowed to tune into BBC

What made this place amazing was the staff. They were absolutely wonderful, so friendly and could not do enough to help us with our queries and requests. The service was just wonderful and we cant wait to visit again.
