This was first and foremost overpriced. i only stayed as i was booking very last minute. It offered no facilities for guests, the rooms had no bathrooms, and i was unsure if sheets and bed clothes were washed. there were complaints about being scalded in the showers, with no temperature control option. The kitchen/common area was over run with the... More

I've stayed in many hostels throughout europe and this was hands down the worst. The website we booked it through told us we could check in when we arrived but when we got there after our journey we were turned away as it was too early. When we did come, and finally got to check in, the staff were so... More

Very unhelpful staff, was in Bath for one night for a wedding and wasn't even guaranteed a room when I had booked online weeks before. Wish I saw pictures or i would have not bothered or just stayed at YMCA. Absolutey disgusting. Staff was no where to be found when I wanted to check out so they kept my £5... More

Basically, this hostel is good for its location near the train/bus station and its proximity to the center of town. Pretty much everything else about it was terrible. The girl who checked us in barely paid any attention to helping us. The beds were incredibly squeaky - so much so that it kept several people awake in the room. I... More

I recently stayed here with friends, 4 of us in a 4-bed dorm and another in a mixed dorm. Our experience was far from great, with the problems starting at check in. The guy serving us was perfectly nice but he seemed confused about the amount we were supposed to pay, eventually agreeing to honour the price we’d been quoted... More

To be honest, things could have been worse. There could have been NO bathrooms, kitchen, or internet access; but even so, this is one of the worst hostels we have ever stayed in. The guys that run the place were cool, but really, only go if you get kicks out of trudging down eight flights of stairs to have a... More

The location can’t be beat, and the front desk staff were friendly. That being said let’s get to the hostel itself... I am not the princess type. I can camp, and get dirty like the best of em, and don’t mind roughing it HOWEVER... 1. We were on the top floor with NO BATHROOM!!! Each floor but ours has one... More

We read earlier reviews and were concerned. We need not be. Bunkbeds were comfortable and cleen. Rooms were clean. Decor... More
