"I have nothing to compare it with as this is my first experience of youth hostels in 40 years. I was impressed. I loved the open area, bar and restaurant. The dormitory was excellent. Beds were well spaced, ample plug sockets, mattress & pillows excellent. Clean sheets and super mattress. The bed was as good as any 5 star hotel. Honestly. The shower was clean but a little small. The facilities in the kitchen were good but some of the pans had loose handles. The staff clearly clean but somehow...

Top Ambleside Hotel Reviews

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

Ambleside Salutation Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good
"Great location for Ambleside and the lakes. Only minor points were car park was pretty tight and only 2 spaces that EVs could use of which one had a reserved car for a disabled driver (although next door sauce was marked for such cars). Lack of air con made room quite warm on what was a very hot weekend, however rooms were well appointed and spacious. Spa and gym were excellent and worth a visit, very clean too. Food for breakfast could not be faulted and nice to have a varied choice of fish too. Overall, highly recommended and good vfm too."
