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.

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

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!

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 .

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.

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.

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.
