This is a great little hostel in the centre of Bath. Check-in is at the bar in boozer/diner Belushi's (which is open till 1am) - you then have to wander back outside to a separate entrance to access the rooms upstairs. You need to bring a driving licence or passport to check-in.

We had a twin room towards the top of the building. It was next door to a bathroom, which was shared with just two other rooms, so there's a good ratio of loos and showers to guests.

The room was compact (it housed a bunkbed as opposed to two singles) but managed to squeeze in a sink, heater and small table (on which a few books and magazines had been placed) and two chairs.

It was decorated with lots of prints from films such as Pulp Fiction and Scarface and the entire ceiling was covered in posters, the overall effect being that of student accommodation circa 1995. There's free Wi-Fi and up another flight of stairs is a TV lounge.

A basic continental breakfast (served in Belushi's) is included but if you're staying at the hostel, you're given generous discounts on food and drinks, so you can have a cooked breakfast for a few quid.

We paid £61 for a Friday night. Having previously stayed at the YMCA just up the road, this is a far more preferable option if you're after centrally located budget accommodation that doesn't make you feel as if you're spending the night in a prison cell.

Stayed there for one night in a private double room (separate bathroom). Basic, but nice enough for a hostel. I could hear the music from downstairs bar but that didn't bother me too much (and it ended around 11pm I think). Conveniently located - and not much noise from the main street either, but that's probably because I visited in November instead of perk summer season. Friendly staff members. They are very polite and helpful. Free breakfast was obviously rather poor, but they do say for a few pounds you could order something a lot more proper...

Overall, I would recommend this place for the younger ones who would like to save money on accommodation when visiting Bath.

Stayed here the weekend of the 24th after watching Bath City vs Kettering. We stayed in room 1 which has 3 bunk beds, sleeping 6 people. There was 4 people in our group in total. The accomodation was basic and for £20 a night i couldn't complain really. The beds were comfy and the facilites were adequately useful. The showers were ridiculously warm and you couldn't vary the temperature. The belushi's bar downstairs was a good location. Staying in the hostel entitles you to drink offers of £2 a pint of fosters, £2.50 a jager bomb and £1.75 vodka and mixer. Also entitled to 10% off everything as well. We never ate but the food looked nice. The hostel is located right in the city centre so you are within walking distance of pretty much everything. All in all a decent place to crash.

I recently stayed here with a hen party group of 12. The accommodation is basic as you would expect from a hostel, however we were happy being in a dorm room and having cheap accommodation in a very central location (once we found it above Belushi's Bar!)

The hostel dorm was reasonably clean, although the stairs are very grotty with a pretty bad smell when you first arrive. It feels very overcrowded to have 12 to a room but that is what we expected in a dorm, and it was ok as it kept the group atmosphere lively! The swipe cards were very unreliable, so we sometimes had to prop our door open which is not very secure. Also some of the group arrived late and were granted access to our dorm even though we weren't there, which was slightly concerning as they could've been strangers!

We were on the top floor which was noisy due to traffic outside, but we could not hear the bar downstairs. Also as we were out late it didn't matter to us. The bathrooms are clean but too small - your knees touch the door when you're on the loo, some locks don't work and there was only one sink in our bathroom. Also, although the showers are powerful you have to push the button every 10 seconds, there is no temperature control, and they mostly spray all over the area where your clothes are hanging. Notices in the bathroom claimed this was a water saving measure but it meant you had to have constantly running water as you brushed your teeth, rather than being able to turn the basin tap on for the time you needed it.

We chose the hostel for the price and because breakfast was included. The breakfast was basic - located in the bar downstairs where the floor was still sticky from the night before and there were still drinks spilt on seats. It's self service with toast or cereal, although you can pay £2 - £4 for cooked breakfast, pancakes etc. Not all of the toasters in the self service area work and you have to fill a kettle rather than there being an urn, which drips all over the plug socket. The breakfast set up felt inefficient as you had to elbow your way to the appliances and try not to spill boiling water over anyone crowding round. Also I was very disappointed that the milk cartons were not recycled, and only paper cups were on offer, as there are recycling bins across the street outside the Pig & Fiddle pub.

Overall, this is basic accommodation in the city centre, and good for groups wanting to party.
