YHA Truleigh Hill

Лучшее место для отдыха, очень рекомендуется.

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.

We have just returned from a wonderful adventure at Truleigh Hill. We hired a Safari tent and loved it. The tents are well equipped with lighting, a log burner (with a starter pack) gas hob, kettle, and basic cutlery. Beds are very comfy and the duvet lovely and plump and kept us warm even on a chilly night. On our stay we endured a very windy night, and the tent itself was a bit flappy so pack the earplugs if you are not a deep sleeper. Check in was easy at 5pm and we were shown to our tent and everything explained. We ate in the eating area and dinner was delicious and very reasonably priced. The showers and toilets were basic but clean and tidy. We used the youth hostel as a base to visit Worthing and Brighton but we would definitely return to explore more of the South Downs. It’s a beautiful little gem of a place and you won’t be disappointed by the views. Thank you to all who helped make us have a fantastic little breakaway.

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

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.

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.

I've camped at Truleigh hill twice now and can always rely on it being a safe, convenient and beautiful place to stay. It's great for families, friends or even solo trips. Taxis are available from the town centre, but I'd recommend having a mode of transport available for the drive up the hill.
