We stayed here for two nights for our Year 6 residential. We used as a base to visit Whipsnade zoo and the White Water Centre. The staff were amazing and were always willing to help and answer our many questions. The food was delicious. The only negative was the mattresses, not very comfy. However, I understand that they are practical and easy to clean. Thanks for a great stay 😀

This hostel is as good as many hotels I've stayed in. We had a 2-bed room with ensuite bathroom in a new-looking wooden lodge. Compared to many hostels I stayed in 50 years ago it was luxurious, but it could have been better - the socket above one bed didn't work because there was no wall socket for it to plug into! And finishes in the bathroom suggested the job had been done in a hurry with no checks.

The lodge had its own kitchen, but we went to The Crown at Broxbourne for our evening meal and ate the hostel's excellent cooked breakfast.

The lodges are hidden from the front of the hostel so security is quite good. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

Stayed for a night, right next to a train station but unfortunately for us our visit coincided with a train strike. Due to the strike we had to drive into London- £12 but free parking at the YHA!
Private room with shower and toilet. Friendly staff. Basic but a youth hostel!

Friendly staff, clean room and very good value. Slightly loud until midnight, but that's early enough to not be a problem to me.

After visiting this place previously I was disappointed with changes. Now simple things like kitchen towels and sponge for cleaning dishes were not provided.
As well usual breakfast with various cornflakes and full English breakfast replaced with bon and sausages for take away. No sauce no salad leave. Very difficult to eat. I wonder how is family with kids at older people managing then they found out about the changes for breakfast. We needed to go to the town to the shop for food as this food not sustainable for kids 5 years old. And old people would have problems with digesting it. No hot drink.
They offer fruit, juice and snack bar although. But I prefer basic (serial, milk, tea and toast with jam) rather than a dry bon.
Room was clean. Shower had no any shelf. just a box-room so you could keep your shower staff on the floor🙄.
The hook for the towel broken..
Hot water supply not consistent (boiler not working properly). So shower hot and cold, hot and cold.... Very unpleasant to take a shower.
All little details making not great impression. Owners need to look after business better than this.
And COVID it's not an issue - breakfast could be organized in a better way.
