Bath YMCA Hostel is conveniently set in the centre of Bath, and provides a garden, free WiFi and a shared lounge. The property is located 600 metres from The Roman Baths, 1 km from Bath Spa Train Station and 2.3 km from Oldfield Park Train Station. The hostel features city views, a sun terrace and a 24-hour front desk.

I like the location best, very easy to walk to tour places. And there is a parking lot acrose the street. Although the room is simple, but clean and there is a big dining room and hangout area at the main floor. Very convenient to stay for travelers.

The staff are amazing and friendly. I am yet to leave but because I extended my stay, I will write about my first few nights. ❤️ The place is awesome and fit for anyone and everyone. I love the lady from Thailand at the bar and Damion and the tall guy. They are really friendly and welcoming. 😊☺️ Meals are 25% off if you stay at the hostel. If you do come here, please try the burger and fries!! 😝🍔🍟 If you drink, they give welcoming drinks and they have shots for 1 pound!! 🍻🥃 I mean!! An all you can eat 6 pound breakfasts is available too. Very filling!! 🌤 They have activities for every night of the week like karaoke and live music and etc. It's right at the heart of Bath. So much to see. Not too far from the train Bath spa station and not too far from Bath bus station. 👌 I love the place and falling in love with it everyday!! ❤️ The hostels are clean. The rooms. Clean sheets and all. Bathrooms are clean. They have a chill out room too! I have met amazing people since I came here. I unknowingly booked a mixed dorm but no issues at all. The guests are mature. I didn't even change to a female room. 👏👏 I love the decor and art along the stairs. They have quite a niche! The whole St Christopher's Inn and Belushis bar. Just awesome!! ❤️❤️ Love! Love! Love! 😊😊 I prefer them to their London Branch. I unknowingly mistook my dates and even when I was willing to pay, they said there aren't any rooms even when booking.com showed there are rooms. Mind you, it's at night in London. A whole girl by herself with 3 suitcases and I was told to walk off. Bath, Thank-you!! ❤️ PS: Please pay or fix the upstairs TV decoder so that guys can watch TV at the chill out room and check the microwave. 😊😊❤️ Will upload better and more photos with next review.

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.

    Great location, walkable to all the attractions in central Bath. Beautiful room, perfect for a family overnight stay. Check-in was really simple, just had to ring a number to be directed to the correct key safe by the front door.
