This hostel feels like a home. I only stayed for 2 nights but everyone (owners and volunteers) were so friendly and nice. The first night there were cookies for everyone, the second night one of the volunteers made dinner. Theres always messages on the whatsapp group. It was extremely clean and there is a well equipped kitchen (honestly the best hostel kitchen I've seen so far) The location is just great and in walking distance to everything in Bath.

Lovely location just outside of the city centre - 30 minutes by foot or 5 minutes by bus. Friendly staff and great facilities. Clean and spacious room. Good value for money overall with the option of a price worthy full English breakfast add-on at check-in.

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.
