Bath YMCA Hostel is well located in Bath, and features a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge.

I had booked the place for 10 of us and the staff were kind to put us all together. Clean sheets, good vibe in the common areas. The location is also perfect We were also lucky to get complementary breakfast on the weekend. Worth the price we paid.

Located 1312 feet from Cabot Circus in Bristol, The Full Moon Backpackers features a restaurant, bar and free WiFi throughout the property. There is a 24-hour front desk at the property.

The location is excellent, close to the bus station, the shopping area, and the old city. The pub and the area downstairs is an asset, as well as the common room Staff are very kind and always helpful, and reception is open 24/7

Attractively located in the Bristol Old City district of Bristol, The Bristol Wing is located a 8-minute walk from Cabot Circus, one mile from Bristol Temple Meads Station and 1.7 miles from Clifton.

This hostel is safe, clean, modern, and has a great vibe. The rooms are very clean and have privacy curtains and space to lock your belongings. The kitchen and lounge space is very comfortable and welcoming. While there's no stove top to cook, there's a microwave and a fridge, and the option of a simple breakfast is available in the morning. The star is most definitely Shazzy in Reception. What a true treasure!!! Shazzy goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and is so delightful.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    This character building had a great location. One feels the history of the area. Old pub room for an evening drink was cozy. Location was great as we could walk into the centre of the old city easily. No breakfast was available for us, but the staff recommended an amazing breakfast place across the street with which we were very pleased. Our luggage was safely kept for us after we checked out - so we could wander through Bath at our leisure.

    I loved the concept, really cheap accommodation at the uni. I was expecting less but got more than I was hoping for. The room was spacious enough for a solo traveller, quite modern and new bathroom facilities. No tv but I was out anyway. Bed was comfy and everything was spotless. Check in was easy, finding the room was ok. Signs everywhere to help. Key card entry to all areas so felt safe and secure.

    Great location right in the city centre. Super friendly staff and guests. I stayed in a private twin room, with a sink, wardrobe and drawers. The bed was basic but comfy, and the room was toasty warm. I felt safe as a single woman (it was my first time staying in a hostel so I hadn't been sure what to expect).

    The bunk bed was surprisingly comfortable and warm. The dormitory was clean and the toilets and showers were too. The location is just a short walk from the city centre, but far enough to be very quiet and give you somehow the feeling that you are in a country house. Wi-Fi was working correctly all through the hostel.

    Cheap and cheerful! The rooms are classic hostel style dorms with bunk beds, so you know what you're getting. The beds were clean. The location is great, right in the centre of town.

    Great location if you're visiting Bath but if you're staying more than one night, don't go cheap. No fault of the hostel's but the six bed Room # 1was noisy, people on Green Street and other hostellers arriving late. Bath room not awful but cramped. Would try the double next time if not travelling alone.

    Great location, there's a lot of restaurant and a waitrose nearby. I had good talks with one of the roommates. There are not many hostels in this area, so it's a "good" option if you're on budget.
