This is the second time in my life that I stayed at a hostel. The premises are generally in good condition, it is clean and the staff is friendly.

the location is great, right on the banks of the Thames - the parking facilities are not so great with a very steep driveway, which would benefit from being resurfaced.

No problem David. All part of the service. We just want to make sure people aren't having difficulties trying to find us or stuck in traffic. Cheers. Nick

Good location next to pub; very clean; comfy quiet
We had a 4 person room (bunk beds), right opposite the loos (which was convenient and was NOT noisy, which we briefly worried about). Plenty of space. Sink in room, which was a nice touch. Showers were hot and powerful, short walk from the room, no queues. Slept like logs as the beds were really comfy, warm duvets & heating (but not too warm), and the room was very quiet. We didn't really use the kitchen or lounge (food is great in the almost adjacent pub). Parking was cosy and on a hill, but the warden warned us and we got a space easily. We would definitely stay there again.

YHA Streatley - better than many hotels !!
I used the Streatley YHA as a base for visiting several friends in Kidlington, Uxbridge, Reading, Newbury and Northwood - this worked very well as a base for me. The management could not have been more helpful and kind, even phoning me to tell me that I had left behind some personal belongings ! As per the info for this YHA, the driveway definitely is very steep - so make sure that your vehicle has good brakes ! If you arrive in the dark (as I did), I strongly suggest parking in a neighbouring road, so that you can see the driveway in good daylight - especially if you have a hired vehicle. Even a very welcome late-night coffee was supplied with a smile when I arrived ! I would never have considered a youth hostel before... but this is a fine example of just how great the experience can be. No need to waste money on fancy hotels - this YHA does a lovely cooked and continental breakfast - even vegetarian sausages for me ! Finally, Streatley and Goring are absolutely lovely to explore, with larger meals available at the inn by the bridge over the River Thames, where boats are available for hire - or you can take a pleasure cruise and let someone else captain the boat ! The YHA is a registered charity, so they need your money... please support them, so that they can keep providing affordable, comfortable accommodation and great experiences !! I know where I will be staying next time I am here :-)

A quiet and welcoming hostel, highly recommended
Very cosy and welcoming hostel at the beautiful countryside. Bargain prices, also the manager (Nick) and the two other staff members (Henna and Matt) are really helpful and always keen to make the stay a nice experience.
