Our stay at the hostel was largely enjoyable, thanks to the friendly and accommodating staff, especially Cara at reception. She was incredibly pleasant, polite, and helpful, ensuring our staggered check-ins went smoothly and making us feel welcome after long journeys from various locations. The bar provided a cosy space to unwind, with the company of fellow travellers adding a unique and delightful atmosphere to the experience. The facilities were generally well-maintained and clean, which we appreciated. However, the beds left something to be desired in terms of comfort. Unfortunately, I woke up on the second night with several bug bites on my arms, neck, and legs. While I can’t be certain the bites came from the beds, it seemed likely. Despite this, the hostel’s convenient location, attentive staff, and overall tidiness contributed to an enjoyable stay. With a few improvements to bedding, it would be an even better choice for travellers.

As mentioned above, bug bites from sleeping in dorm 8.

The staff were incredibly nice and friendly. I felt so comfortable and happy during my stay. They let me store my luggage after checkout. One thing about the kitchen you should keep in mind is there is no stove in the kitchen but there are microwaves and ovens. So do your shopping accordingly. The distance of the hostel from the city center is 30 mins on foot. It is almost on the top of Bathwick hill. The view is magnificent from there. Everyone coming to Bath should see this view walk down the hill to center. I attached the photo of the hill. Ofc there is a frequent bus service to the center and you can use it as well.

That staff were really amazing! We missed our paid breakfast last time (which was entirely our fault), however, they still warmly offered us some hot refreshments, pastries and yogurt to have before we left off. Thank you to the awesome kitchen guys (apologize, I’m really bad with names) for not letting us leave with hungry stomachs! We don’t deserve it. Really lol We also love, love, love the hostel so much! The location is great. We really felt we were one with nature. And very close to a bus stop going to the City Centre and Train station. Too bad we had to stay for a night only and leave the following day for work back in London.

The location is beautiful. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The building was clean and well organized, The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The bathroom and shower was clean and the shower was great. Breakfast in the morning was great for the price. I wish we stayed for longer and plan to visit again soon. For the price, there is no beating this experience.

Nothing comes to mind.....maybe they could have had some more options in the breakfast?

This property is on a beautiful property and the facility is clean and attractive. Though the bathrooms are shared, there are sinks in the rooms and the bathrooms are clean. The cafe is very nice, as are the lounge areas with comfortable seating and ample games. Good for families!

The location was a little more difficult to access downtown on foot, largely because Bath is a very hilly area, and it would be difficult to walk up and down into town. However, there is an easily accessible city bus into town.

Value for money is extremely good and the location had a beautiful view. We had some issues with our room toilet and we were given alternate arrangement immediately which worked out very well for us. We also called in to say we might be a bit later than 10pm to check in and they immediately accommodated it. Staff service and response was outstanding.

A few issues on the day we stayed 1. Systems were down so was almost close to 11 when we were checked into our room. Had to wait meanwhile 2. Toilet didn't flush at all in the first 5 person ensuite we were given at 11pm and there was no maintenance person available at that time. We were given alternate arrangement and it worked out very well for us but toilets should have been checked prior and possibly fixed or alternate arrangement given to us when checking in. We had to move around 11.30pm after settling in the first allotted room. And What if the alternate rooms were fully booked, not sure how they would have managed.

I didn't take breakfast because I spent just one night but I was comfortable sleeping and waking, everyone in the dorm was well composed so that made it easy as well and the staffs were all on their smiles all times I encountered them. The environment is quite peaceful as well and easy to access the road and public transport.

Just the fact that when you bring your car, there is no where to park close to the hostel. Then I feel there should be a security light and maybe a camera for security purpose at the path way from youth bus stop to the hostel.

The place is amazing; the rooms are big and clean. There was a heater and a sink in the room. The staff were very friendly, and we loved our stay.

Poor breakfast variety; the same person who serves also makes the eggs in the kitchen. Dairy-free milk options were unavailable on the table, and we couldn't ask because she was busy inside, likely preparing eggs for others. The breakfast was tasty, but I don't think the price was worth it.

The property location was fantastic, very near town and quite easy to get to

We had booked a “twin room” which I thought would have a double bed. I didn’t check to confirm this admittedly but the picture I looked at when I booked looked like a double or two singles or something. We had a room with 4 bunk beds, the whole room was booked out for us so we still had our privacy so this wasn’t a train smash at all

Everything! It’s a lovely old building, set in nice gardens, run by friendly and helpful people, it feels spacious, has good laundry facilities, a big kitchen, lovely views over Bath Abbey, a generally good vibe to the place, filled with mainly community minded and friendly guests of whom I made numerous friends in my week stay.

There are no hobs in the kitchen (apparently something to do with being a listed building), the one hallway outside our dorm room smelled a bit like toilet, and it’s at the top of a big hill - but that for me is totally worth it for the picturesque setting and view. Despite these minor things I totally loved this place.
