Probably the best hostel experience I've ever had! The Bristol Wing is a great place to stay, the staff is super nice and kind, location is super, room and bathroom are clean and cozy. Me and my boyfriend stayed there for 3 nights and we had a great time, would totally recommend. Also: Bristol is lovely, don't miss the chance to visit it!

Extremely convenient-but-tucked-away location. Easy to pop out to markets and events but also to go to the train station. Books lining the shelves, comfortable, cozy lounge for guests. I didn't end up ever actually sleeping there due to unfortunate mental health crises and urgent medical issues, but the staff was DEEPLY patient and understanding working with my unusual circumstances. I was surprised at how well-run, typical hostel experience, even female hygiene products gifted in the bathrooms for travelers in need. A great place to crash while enjoying beautiful Bath and not wasting all your exchanged currency on accommodation but instead on taking in the Jane Austen territory and vital literary and musical culture the town has to offer!

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.

    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.
