Best Youth Hostel? (YHA)

Roberta1

We have just discovered youth hostelling and had a great holiday at Broadhaven YHA earlier this year.

I'd be really interested to hear about other great youth hostels to visit, whether they be in cities or in rural areas. I hear some are in really historic buildings.

Thanks in anticipation!

It depends what you're looking for. 'Cos of their locations different hostels are better for the activities in that area, caving; cycling; city breaks etc etc. You're better going into the YHA website and viewing what's available in different parts of the country, many of them will have reviews written by people who have been there.

I've been there! It was very nice.

Depends what you want really. There are all sorts - pick an area and have alook on the YHA website, when you see something you fancy ask, I'll bet someone on here has been there.
