  : The location is great, right by a bus stop, garage just round the corner, and the town centre just a few minutes walk. I stayed in a female-only dorm and it was great. Beds were fairly comfy, plenty of storage areas in cupboards and boxes under the beds. Doors to the buildings and specific dorms had keycode locks, which was handy for coming and going as you please during unstaffed hours - I happened to be doing various walks in the area so was late coming in but early to leave. Kitchen facilities were great, all you could need to prepare meals, blank labels left by the fridges so you can mark your own stuff. Drying rooms for gear too. Good value for money, was pleasantly surprised. Would stay here again if coming back to Keswick.
  : The only thing really was some mess in the communal dining areas / kitchens but people are supposed to clean up after themselves so not much can be done. Still fairly well kept all things considered.

  : Great location / main building facilities are good
  : Not enough ports for charging absolute essential for mountain days. Only had one slim pillow = stiff neck. I didnt feel like the place was that secure..

  : Access, Cleanliness, Drying room
  : The kitchen was cramped and far too separated from the Dining Room. One (male) shower only supplied extremely hot water! One night almost all bunks in the Male Dormitory (Dodd) were filled with a rather rowdy group who had little knowledge of the concept of "consideration for others" as regards sleep. Particularly annoying as I had to get up at 4.30am to get to my post as a Route Marshall at the annual Fred Whitton Cycling Challenge. I hardly slept at all that night but all other nights were fine.

  : Good location, clean, hot showers.
  : Nothing not to like, more as an advisory note - could do with an extra couple of bathrooms as there doesnt seem to be many for the amount of people staying at the hostel.Beds are a little hard and again, kitchen very small for the size of the property. Could be a wait.
