AMAZING! Wasn’t expecting a lot for what we paid and being a hostel etc, but this exceeded all our expectations. Staff were great, even some cereal with coffee and tea included in the mornings. Our private room was large and very comfortable, bathrooms were clean and close by. Ultimately just the perfect stay for us.

The building on the inside is all painted white, the bedding is white, the shower and toilet rooms are all white, it feels lovely. clean, no worries and not scary. The staff are down to Earth and make sure you are too. I also like the fact I am learning it’s nice to stay with the Harbourside once a night every two weeks. anymore and it soils it. Good mental health and great for privacy, I also think they try to mix you with the right groups in dorms to make your stay more enjoyable and relaxing, leaving you feeling refreshed, just like a trip to India probably would!

Great vibes, friendly staff, huge shower room. There was a party happening that day and we got to jump the queue every time to get in because we were staying at the hotel, excellent vibes at the party. We stayed in the double room next to the reception area, and it was clean and comfortable, somehow there wasn't much noise despite the big party outside. Can't wait to go and party with Full moon hostel again!

Very central location in Bristol, plus there's a shopping street with cafés, shops and a supermarket a few steps away from the hostel. Expect bunk beds in the room but the matresses were comfy enough to rest our souls after a long day exploring Bristol and its surroundings. Bathrooms were cleaned thoroughly during our stay. If you're a light sleeper perhaps earplugs are a good option, there's a karaoke on the first floor and a bar downstairs. Although it was noisy at times we didn't have any problems in our sleep.

All hostels in Bath

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.

Great location right in the city centre. Super friendly staff and guests. I stayed in a private twin room, with a sink, wardrobe and drawers. The bed was basic but comfy, and the room was toasty warm. I felt safe as a single woman (it was my first time staying in a hostel so I hadn't been sure what to expect).
