Perfect Location, Friendly Staff, and Great Vibes! I had an incredible experience staying at this hostel! Its perfect location made it easy to explore the city and access key attractions effortlessly. The staff were absolutely amazing—super friendly, helpful, and always going the extra mile to ensure everyone felt at home. The environment was vibrant and social, with plenty of organized activities to meet fellow travelers and make memories. The rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen were impeccably clean, and the kitchen was well-equipped, making it a pleasure to cook meals. I also appreciated the hostel's commitment to sustainability, with thoughtful measures to reduce unnecessary consumption and promote eco-conscious living. If you're looking for a place that combines comfort, community, and a great sense of responsibility toward the planet, this hostel is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

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.
