YHA青年旅館-特魯雷丘(YHA Truleigh Hill)

Nice staff, clean room. Nice stay, breakfast was nice with a few different options to eat.

We shelled out £98.90 for a double dose, you see – two souls, a room, shared bog, and loo, plus a pair of English brekkies. Sharp as a tack, we penned our brekkie desires at the crack of 7:30am. But blast it all, one of our morning feasts was tardy, not gracing our table until a shocking 8am, and the rascally staff had the audacity to inform us they'd run dry on veggie sausages. I, in my ire, declared I'd forgo the veggie banger, only to be served at an infuriating 8:02am, sans the elusive veggie sausage. The dining quarters were as desolate as a ghost town, and to add insult to injury, those behind me in the breakfast queue merrily devoured their victuals before we did. I demand a reckoning from this hostel's high and mighty! We shan't breathe a word of praise for this establishment. To fellow travellers embarking upon the South Downs Way, steer clear of this den of inequity at all costs. The self-catering scullery is an abomination, cobwebs draping the ceiling like garlands of disgrace, and the common area, a haven of filth and squalor.

Stayed for a third time I. One of their pods. Super comfortable with duvets provided. We have a great meal in the evening and pre order cooked breakfast for the morning. Really friendly and helpful staff, good beers in the fridge and a mad mix of super friendly people staying from hard core walkers and cyclists to Japanese and German tourists! There are stunning views if you go back out of hostel through the tree tunnel and turn right along the footpath. Amazing at sunset. Also saw glow bugs which was cool

This place is wonderful. Its set in the beautiful South Downs, great for hikers and cyclists. We were visiting Brighton but wanted somewhere quiet & calm to sleep. The staff are friendly, and it was very clean. Great facilities, lots of games & the food is excellent. I personally love chatting to new people & we met a wonderful mix of characters here but it's also easy to keep to yourself if you wish

I was hoping to visit this Youth Hostel today, but this morning the train I was planning to catch was cancelled at the last minute and then the next one due to the rail strikes. I had checked the night before and a service was offered. Unfortunately, I appreciate this is a business but it is also a charity and there was no goodwill for people like me stuck and with no little choice. A shame the commercial nature. In the past they have always been accepting and helpful. I rang up just in case someone else is in the opposite situation and there is now a bed for them.

Hostels have come a long way! The dorm beds were so comfortable and clean and there was lots of communal space if you felt sociable. Brilliant place to stay on a South Downs Way hike with lovely walks all around.

1) It's great value for money. 2) The location is stunning! 3) The accommodation is clean and comfortable 4) There's a wide range of accommodation choice: - DIY camp, YHA camp, shared rooms, private rooms, etc. 5) The staff are enthusiastic, friendly and helpful - good old-fashioned customer service, it's great! 6) You can be sociable. Or not. The choice is yours. Comfy communal areas. Comfy rooms. 7) Plenty of places to charge-up if you want to stay online and free WIFi. 8) YHA seems to be working hard to cater for dietary needs so you won't starve if you don't want to self-cater! 9) Excellent walking, cycling and sight-seeing opportunities. 10) You benefit young people and the community by staying there! I've been twice now and will definitely go again. It's a lovely place to stay to visit family in Brighton, without having to stay in Brighton itself, as I'm a rural kind of a girl!

Booked the day before, planning to camp and have breakfast there while cycling the south downs way, unfortunately on the day my son had an accident so we did not make the hostel check in, in time, I let them know via email around 3pm that day incase in the unlikely event the camping pitch (a patch of grass in their garden) would be required for another camper, I also asked for a part refund seeing as we would not be having the breakfast that had been pre paid for, I thought it would not be an issue and not unreasonable to expect a refund for at least the food...........wrong! I received an email quoting terms etc. stating no refund would be given. I feel this is disgraceful seeing as the YHA would have not been out of pocket whatsoever, after all it is only a camping pitch and not a room. How many restaurants do you know that charge you for a meal you did not have? well in my experience so far only the charitable YHA. Another reviewer I saw was unable to get a refund due to a rail strike and was given the excuse............ " no refund at late notice due to the fact that it is unlikely that we will be able to resell the room at this late notice" If they were reasonable then you would have thought the breakfast would be refunded. They give charities a bad name.

i would like to thank you all very much ,i had a great 5days even though the weather was not the best all the great little bits of advice you gave me and your local knowledge made my stay wonderful and i shall return
