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.

I was looking for a place to stay in Bath on a Saturday right before Christmas, and the hotel prices were really shocking. Fortunately, I found this hostel! The room wasn’t especially comfortable, but it had everything I needed. I was glad to have a sink inside the room—very convenient. The shared bathroom had plenty of hot water and was clean. The kitchen was well-equipped, and they even offered sandwiches for dinner to guests arriving late. There’s a parking lot right across the street, which costs £15 per day. The location is excellent—within walking distance to the Roman Baths and all the main attractions in town. All in all, this place offers great value for money.

The staff was really nice and helpful, everything was clean and the location was great. I initially booked a 10 bed dorm, but then realized I would be sleeping with only men, which didn't feel so safe as a solo female traveler. I asked if it was possible to be in another room, with women preferably, and they agreed immediately, which was nice. I do feel like solo female travelers should be immediately put with other women, or warned about mixity in dorms... overall was a lovely stay, thanks a lot !

All hostels in Bath

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.

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).
