Convenient location, good showers, but some issues
It’s a good hostel for a short stay, the showers seem to be brand new and the place is quite clean. There was a really weird smell in my dorm though (it was a mixed dorm) and some people were REALLY noisy. One of them would pace back and forth between the bunks in the morning, which was bizarre. Some had had too much to drink and others seemed quite hostile. As if other people had it easier than them… Just because people don’t complain it doesn’t mean they have a cushy life. One of my gripes about the hostel is that some of the areas (the dorms, the shower rooms, the kitchen) are closed at certain times of the day. It does make it easier for them to clean however if you forgot something in your room, or get up too late to take a shower, it’s irritating.

Convenient location and good value.
The guy manning the reception was lovely, very warm and enthusiastic, and good at staying on top of all the guests checking in and coming to the desk with various queries. There was only 1 other lady in my dorm and she was very quiet so I managed to grab a good night's sleep. I used the small launderette, it's very cheap (£3 if you bring your own washing powder) and it saves you a walk to the laundromat and back (not great when it's cold and damp, especially on the way back). It's only open between noon and 10pm and one of the washing machines was out of order and neither dryer are very 'hard working', I used the 'white' settings and my clothes were still slightly damp after the 40 minutes cycle. However, for the price, I can't complain. I really enjoyed being able to cook an evening meal and although some of the people staying there can be a little too chatty, they usually leave you alone when they realize you're not interesting in 'sharing' etc. I have yet to use the gym, one of my former colleagues used to go there to try and 'hook up' with women in their 30s and 40s, single, divorced, or unhappily married. He was in his 20s and married, but his wife was pregnant, so he claimed he was 'forced' to look elsewhere... I do hope there aren't too many characters like him at that gym, I don't think he was successful though, he moved on to another gym in Bath then got a job in Bristol.

Brilliant central location and staff were lovely and helpful. The room was a great size and had an ensuite shower room. Some cleanliness of the ensuite was lacking, and there was noise of people in the shower rooms and toilets near our room, but everything else was really good.

Worth it for solo travellers. Washrooms are clean, staff is friendly, there's a big cafe like area where you can eat or prepare food. Located at 10 mins walk from Bath bus station. Only issue of dormitory is ventilation when it gets hot and if you've got loud snorers at night. Rest no issues about this property.

Stayed for 2 nights in a mixed dorm, and was able to change my room for a quieter one on the 2nd night as i didn't sleep well due to other people's alarm waking me 😭 staff were very kind and helpful

Ngeatives: Not good air circulation in a room. When coming the bed cover was not covered. There is no hot water for taking shower. Positives: Price is very cheap Located in city centre and near to public facilities and super market. Please make sure and find some videos before booking this. I did not expect as terribel as like that. At least maintain clean and provide key for locker to save valuable things.

I am writing to request assistance regarding a refund issue for a recent booking. Upon arrival at our accommodation, we found the room to be in an unsatisfactory condition, as the floor had not been cleaned. After informing the hostel staff, they offered to change our room. However, the alternative room did not meet our needs, so we decided to remain in the original room, which I cleaned myself. The hostel staff were very supportive and offered a £15 refund for the inconvenience, which they processed and transferred to Expedia, as the booking was made through your platform. I would now like to request that this refund be credited to my original payment method.
