Feedback from one of our past students :
'Guildford YMCA is so much more than just a hostel. Throughout my residency I've enjoyed all the benefits of a town centre location, film and quiz evenings, fantastic food and a quiet place to knuckle down to some studies. Here you will have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. This together with a great bunch of staff, it has been a pleasure to call this place 'home' for the last two years.'

Budget rooms are limited and a deposit scheme is applicable. (Terms and conditions apply)
