Cohort Hostel

A great hostel in a handy location, just up the hill from the general busyness of St Ives. Very welcoming and friendly. The room and bathroom were super clean and it was a great stay.

Amazing location and really well priced! Huge clean communal kitchen, clean toilets and rooms!Free tea and coffee served before 10am but no alt milk! Only cow milkThe only downside to my stay (which couldn’t be helped)I was in room 1 which was close to the male toilets so you could hear quite a lot of nose coming from the bathrooms as well as noisy streets

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed at! Amazing common areas, spacious and nice rooms with curtains for privacy, kind staff and great vibes all around. Super central yet quiet. Large and very clean bathrooms. Pays a lot of attention to sustainability. Has everything you will ever want from and hostel!The only thing I'd change is that common areas close at 10.00 pm and the lounge at 11.00 pm. 10.00 pm is a bit early in my opinion, but really no big deal. Would stay here over and over again

Perfect place for a quick nights sleep. Bed was comfortable, location was optimal. Stayed her before starting on the Southwest coast path from St Ives to Pendeen and this was a great place to have a night before getting started. Quick to reach from the train from London, near a co-op to stock up on supplies before walking and near the start of the path. Couldn't have asked for more from a hostel.

One of the best hostel I ever stayed. It was just balanced, there was a harmony and peace to it. Staff were extremely friendly. Miss those nights sitting in the lounge, with peers from all over the world. Friendly and secure to any age. Definitely going over again!

Awesome hostel, great location and friendly staff. Bunk beds are super sturdy and the relatively comfortable!

My daughter is here with her school as we speak they arrived yesterday and will be leaving on Thursday. From the pictures I have seen on the website it seems like a lovely place looks clean and spacious. I love how they have rooms for different groups of people. I only live in truro but am thinking of a weekend stay with the kids here. I caught a sneak peek of the kids last night on the ramp at the harbour was a really cool experience.

I stayed here with my students whilst we were in St Ives on an A Level Geography field visit. It is a fantastic place to stay, the building has been nicely converted into the youth hostel, offering spacious rooms with very comfortable and cosy bedding.It is simply decorated and very clean. The lounge has separate areas for work and rest, with a range of seating from sofas, tables and chairs, bean bags and cushions, and a mezzanine work area too. There are plenty of board games on offer, as well as the TV and capacity to project from a laptop to a large screen (very useful for when I was teaching my students how to use Microsoft Excel!). There's free WiFi which is pretty good. It struggled at times but did have to support over 30 different laptops and everyone's individual devices at once. One thing that would be good for school groups in the future is if there was options to print off work/information for a small fee, which would be especially useful for A Level coursework. There's free tea/coffee in the lounge before 10am and snack/breakfast/other drinks available to purchase at cheap prices. The hostel has a focus on sustainability with options to recycle waste and reminders to conserve energy and water.The kitchen is very well equipped. On the first night we had a meal provided by the hostel. The curry was delicious with lots more available for second helpings. The rocky road dessert was insane. For the remainder of our stay we used the kitchen to prepare our own breakfasts. It is kept to a very high standard and there is plenty of shelf/refrigerator space to store your own supplies. There is a courtyard area too but we didn't use that much, though it is a fab space to have for warmer weather.The downstairs bathroom was very clean albeit quite cold! The sensors on the taps were a little annoying to use, but the showers were hot with good water pressure.The staff at the hostel were absolutely fantastic. They were so knowledgeable about the local area and were happy to help with any enquiry or just to have a chat! The hostel is centrally located in St Ives and there is a co-op and other food options just a couple of minutes walk away. It is close to the train station and there are bus stops directly outside too.Overall, I feel as though this is a hidden gem in St Ives. My students haven't stopped talking about it yet. I have already recommended Cohort Hostel to other schools and would not hesitate to book again. Thank you so much.

This is the perfect hostel to stay in, in St Ives. The rooms were very high quality and there was plenty of room to store your belongings. The quiet areas were perfect if you wanted to relax and the toilets and showers were well made. The views were just incredible and there was access to so many things in walking distance from Cohort. The service was absolutely incredible and the staff were so nice. I would 100% recommended if a group of people wanted to stay in St Ives!!!

Staff are amazing, central location, comfy beds.
