Excellent staff. Great quiet location with a view of the water. If you just need a nice clean place to sleep on a quiet street close to the harbor

Omg, I could not recommend Bath Backpackers more! I stayed here for 6 nights and honestly wish I had booked longer. I’ve been traveling solo for 4 months, and this has been my favorite accommodation of the trip. From the moment I arrived, it felt so homely — the owners and volunteers are incredible. The facilities are perfect: everything is practical, there’s a fully equipped kitchen, beds are comfy, and plenty of different areas to relax or hang out, so you’re never stuck just in your room. They also host loads of fun activities, during my stay we had a Spanish night, Greek night, scrapbooking, and games. If you feel like going out, people often head to the pub together too. It’s not a “party hostel,” but the social atmosphere is amazing. Honestly the perfect balance, I loved every second here.

    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.
