Kirkby Stephen Hostel

Stayed here for one night after hiking. A great location in the centre of Kirkby. Facilities were good and the place was welcoming. It used to be a church so it was an interesting place to stay and the common room was in the main church building. I would stay again

The hostel provided a really warm welcome . Clean tidy and is well served by very friendly staff. Great value interesting building great location in the town. Good recommendations for local eateries and other shopping needs and places to visit.

We booked the hostel through *********** as a 4-person shared room with en-suite facilities. The arrangements for getting in were good without any issues, however, when we arrived the rooms en suite were partially complete. The bathroom floor appeared to have the floor covering removed with the remanence of the contact adhesive still on the wooden floor. The shower was without a shower curtain and the area was without a door so that the en-suite could not be used while other party members were present. I contacted the Hostel to politely ask if there could be a reduction in the fees as it was advertised as an en-suite when it obviously cannot be used. I didn’t receive any response so took this up with *********** who replied saying that the hostel would not review the cost as they feel that it was an appropriate amount for 1 night (£170.00). Sadly, we will not use the hostel again, but we advise any bookers to check that the rooms are as advertised and not amid refurbishment.
