Hotel Cholderton Youth Hostel (Amesbury, United Kingdom)

Cholderton Youth Hostel's employees are very courteous and overflowing with enthusiasm. Guests appreciate the kind treatment and cooperation of the staff in terms of helping with the meals and giving tips on finding other food options within the area.

Most guests consider the hostel's location to be geographically well-positioned and highly accessible to important tourist sites. The Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral, Cholderton Charlie, Wiltshire, and Longleat Safari and Adventure Park are all within close proximity from the property.

A good number of guests admire the free access to a farm located adjacent to the hostel. It is a great place to unwind and serves as a perfect play area for kids. Furthermore, for an additional fee, guests have unlimited access to petting gorgeous variety of animals or enjoy the three-story indoor play barn.

Some guests find it quite hard to walk about 50 metres from the designated parking area to the hostel especially at night time due to lack of proper lighting. Thus, guests are advised to get everything they need from their cars before proceeding to their rooms.

Most guests complained of the low-priced mattresses used for the beds, as well as the noisy springs. Sleeping on the bed is painful and causes backaches. The wooden bed bunks used on rooms creates noises when people move in their sleep.

The kitchen area is extremely grubby, and lacks proper cooking equipment such as pots and pans according to some guests. The shortage of cooking utensils and basic kitchenware made it hard for guests to function properly in the kitchen. Moreover, the rotten food found in the fridge caused intense dismay to the guests.
