Super friendly and helpful staff! Really clean rooms and bathrooms, great value for money. Overall really nice spaces. Really good to have a sink in the room and bathrooms/showers very near the rooms - never had to wait and was able to use it quickly. The rooms are spacious and well ventilated. Overall a really great experience and would definitely stay here again! They also offer breakfast and have a cafe that seems to be reasonably priced and has a great offering so very convenient!

It is the best hostel I have ever stayed at. It is located on the hill and I was walking there from the bus station (about 25 min on foot) so I could see the great view of Bath. The location is very quiet, only birds singing🥰 The hostel has got a beautiful yard with tables and benches where you can have rest or lunch in the shade of big trees. The rooms and bedding are very clean. I had a bed in a female dormitory, we had a bathroom in our room (with a toilet and a shower) and one more separate toilet also in our room so it's quite comfortable for girls! There is also a big comfortable kitchen with fridges and all things you need for cooking. No deposit fees!!! You pay for your staying there when you arrive.

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.
