As an avid traveler, I have had the pleasure of staying in numerous hotels around the world. However, my recent stay at Harbourside Hostel was an experience that truly stood out from my expectations. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home. The staff at Harbourside Hostel were exceptional in every way, especially Adhar (sorry if my spelling is incorrect). The facilities at Harbourside Hostel were immaculate and well-maintained. The dormitories were spacious and thoughtfully designed, with comfortable beds, individual lockers, and ample charging points. Moreover, the location of the hostel was superb. Situated in the heart of Bristol city, it offered convenient access to all the major attractions, public transportation, and an array of local restaurants, bars, and shops.

I loved every bit! The rooms were so clean and the bathrooms were so hygienic. I also grew quite fond of the staff in my few short days at the hostel. I wasn’t there long but boy did I have fun! Would strongly recommend this hostel to anyone thinking of a budget friendly trip to Bristol

Amazing hostel! I stayed in the 10-bedroom and I found it very spacious. The common facilities are great, a lot of space in the kitchen, and there is free coffee and tea. Also, there is a free towel and earplugs at the reception if you need that. The staff is very friendly and Tomas was especially nice and helpful to my friend and me. The toilets are frequently cleaned and I never found them dirty. A big plus for me is that the sheets were already made, I always dread doing that at hostels.

They know how to be a hostel and receive travelers. Really lovely place: magic build, good facilities (a huge kitchen with everything you need), good space to share, confortable rooms, amazinggggg showers and really close to center, but not close enough to listen many noise (so this is perfect to rest). Crew members are lovely!

It has good vibes ; at least during my stay there. We jammed with other travellers so it was enjoyable. The common area is quite bright and big. The location is also cool. On top of that , they support Palest1ne so that's a highlight in the western world where we are oppressed by the unmentionables and persecuted for rising our voice against them.

All hostels in Bristol

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I had a good stay in this hostel. The room was simple but clean, my bed was comfy, clean bedding. The shared bathroom was clean, with a very good shower, location great. The rules of the hostel don't let you bring food or alcohol to your room but I cannot see a problem with it. The receptionists were always available and happy to help. And of course the place is very cheap... So if you are on a budget and looking for a quiet place to stay this place will meet your requirements.

Exactly what I paid for, a safe, cheap stay in a locked 2-bed room for me and my friend. On queen's square so right next to everywhere you need for a night out in bristol city. The staff were friendly and we were let in quickly despite arriving at 2-3am. The beds were springy but soft and comfortable enough. The toilet and shower were in excellent condition.

Staff were very friendly and the location of this youth hostel in the centre of Bristol, next to the marina and the aquarium, is great! The 5 person room was good and the bunk beds were of a decent quality. The bathroom facilities in the corridor were clean. There was a restaurant, a bar and shared kitchen facilities, which had all the equipment, cutlery and crockery that you might need.
