Great little room, easy reach to the quays and the train station. Perfect for a night stay
Tomoki
Good room
David
Very helpful reception staff. There is a good bar / cafe area in the property. The room was clean and a good size. No towels were provided in the room, but this is not unexpected as it is a hostel.
Ying Yin Sonia
Ataff are super helpful. Overall clean and tidy. Some issues with the noise as guests share one corridor and some of them were not mindful about the potential disturbance caused during late hours.
Angela
Clean and functional hostel accommodation with excellent harbour side location and stylish communal areas that serve a good cuppa. We didn’t eat there but saw others enjoying toasties etc.
We would stay again. Be aware parking is at additional cost in this central area.

5th floor rooms were excellent; 4th floor showers were dreadful. There were way too many spots around the hostel that needed a key card, and they didn't give multiple cards for a multi-person room.

A rainy night in Bristol
The hostel is in a great setting and we had a great time from check-in the staff were great and very friendly .The bar area is relaxed with lovely local beers and even had a local band playing their own tunes it was fantastic.The food too was great with deals too . A great easy experience overall.

Staff friendly, great location, sense of safety and relaxation.

Service was slow at check in, often answering the phone whilst dealing with customers in person. Poor selection of breakfast options- both cooked and continental.

Noisy
Unfortunately we had a room on the main road side, which was very hot and very noisy due to the single glazed windows, the fan provided was like a jet engine so too noisy to sleep with it on, the shower was hot and powerful and the beds were comfortable.

Great location. Lovely helpful staff. Very good budget stay. Good coffee. Would stay again.

Convenient for Academy gigs
I never have big budgets for trips so wanted somewhere convenient and comfortable for taking my lad to a gig at the Academy. Found ok although wasn't obvious as we approached, and given details by the bar in the reception bar area. We were five or so floors up in the converted loft space and the lift was out of order, just opening and shutting on one of the other floors. Room was basic, no TV or kitchen area, and shared showers were down the corridor. My lad loved the trip eapecially taking takeaway back to our room after the show. Comfortable beds and would go back.
Keith
Excellent value for a sole traveller on the quayside in Bristol. Booked a 6 bed room but was given a 4 bed room. Excellent range of bars and restaurants nearby. Check out a bit early though at 10am , as Breakfast runs to 10 am also.

Just a great all round hostel!

Never stayed in a Youth Hostel before, probably shouldn’t have left it until my 40’s. However, it was a great place to stay. Food was good, reasonably priced and all that. The room was clean as owt. Bunk beds are for young people though.
I’d probably stay again though.

Vinod
Reception staff were brisk/efficient, but very warm/courteous. Beds were made, clean and had lights/charging stations. Lots of hanger hooks in room as well as a fan (considered no A.C). Breakfast options allowed either simple continental or full cooked. Downstairs bar was cool and area is close to Harbourside..

For a hostel it was great, affordable, clean, plenty of loos and showers. I liked that the decor was plain, a preference over what you sometimes see - large fornat prints covering the walls. Customer service was always good, friendly and straightforward.
Chloe
Wonderful facilities
The only downsides to this place are sometimes people who stay are mean enough to leave puddles, beer bottles and other items in the bathroom but they are sorted by the staff once asked, there was only one shower room to share amongst a whole floor of people with four people per room and the city student life makes it a rather noisy place at night depending how used to it you are. It was hard to handle the heat of the room at night yet I would call this hostel amazing for its opportunity to make unlikely friends, the shower is very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped and sanitary with modern facilities to fit all the wants a self caterer could need. The service was lovely and efficient amongst staff and did feel very safe and secure with the key card authentication system. I'd stay here again and again especially for its location.
Joanna
Brilliant!
Great stay here with my son. Comfy beds, awesome location. Yes you hear other people and the floor boards are a little creaky. Nothing ear plugs didnt solve. Highly recommend 👌

First Timer
The team there are great, really helpful. Sadly the beds aren't the most comfortable; the pillows & mattresses are incredibly thin.. I only slept around 2hrs (albeit there was a lot of noise from outside all night since the windows were open).
This was my time in a hostel so I'm sure more experienced users can overcome the short comings.
The local is great, directly opposit a Weatherspoons, on the harbour side.

Philip
Great place to stay in Bristol. Exceptionally positioned, with so much of the city within walking distance. The real highlight (aside from the top notch breakfast) was the staff - Tom and Leah were an object lesson in how to raise a very practical and handy place to stay into a really good experience. Leah's curry tip was especially worthwhile!
Nigel
Very basic room but clean and comfortable bed Ideal for a short stay. Easy check inn Staff friendly and welcoming Good Breakfast to set you up for the day. Located in a fantastic area on the river front.will definitely use again

Surprisingly comfy bed for a hostel! Great location, fast check in. Only complaint is the plug points on our bed didn’t work.

Great service & value for money
Such a welcoming relaxed place, clean, great staff, comfortable beds, clean dorms. Although the lift was broken, I requested help with my suitcase up and down the stairs and staff were super helpful. Great cafe with great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Make sure you get en-suite private room if you want it. Room was hot, fair bit of noise from corridors. Hotel in good location. Could have done without early morning fire alarm due to someone showering with door open…

Great central location, clean & tidy
Great little find, at £49 for two of us, you can't ask for much more in central Bristol, clean, tidy & comfortable.

I booked a quadruple ensuite room. It had inadequate ventilation which meant that it wasn't only suffocating but also pretty darn hot inside the room. Furthermore, there was no WiFi access in the room. What's worse is that unlike other YHAs, we were told to pay a deposit for spare keys. Quite a disappointing experience, definitely not worth it.
Nanette
It would be very convenient if each rooms with bathroom n toilet.

Reasonable but hot
Rooms are basic but clean and in reasonable quality. Beware as was very hot in summer - no air con.
Verified traveler
This is not a cost-effective option- you're better off paying more and staying in a hotel. Place smells of pine disinfectant and is somewhat run down. Single rooms are very small, get too warm to sleep in properly and have no chair. No curtain on skylight or any way to block light coming in. Far, far too expensive for what it is. That goes for the breakfast, too.

Didn't spend much time in the hostel but it was clean, the beds were comfy, and the wifi was good. There were also plenty of spaces to relax, meet people, or just hangout. The hostel was also in the best location! Super close to the winter markets, restaurants, and bars.
Nina
Very convenient
Close to The Folk House (venue for Bristol Cajun & Zydeco Festival), which was especially useful as the weather was wild, wet and windy, it was just 6/7 mins. walk away.
The staff were friendly and attentive especially on my last evening, when due to an oversight my door card did not work after 22.30..

Solange
Ok for one night.
Ok. Not the friendliest YHA I've ever stayed in. It's just a crash pad in town. It seemed to be full of stag dos.
I stayed in a single room which was a tiny nondescript room in the attic. The floors creak like crazy and the doors bang so it's impossible to be quiet.
The location is very good and there's 24hour access, so that's useful.
It's quite expensive for what you get.

Not my best hostel experience
Stayed in a private bedroom for 2. The room was slightly warm over the summer. There was no construction going on at the back of the bulding and it was SO noisy it disturbed my sleep. I'm aware that there's nothing the hostel could do but make sure you bring earplugs. There was NO wifi at my room at all!! Were told that we could get free wifi connection (The Cloud) at the reception and selected areas only and which our room was excluded.
Giulia
I think so far one of the few hostel I would go back to.
+ My room was quiet, close to the bus stop link to the airport, clean facilities, overall pretty location,
Lovely staff, clean room.
- I think the only things that could be improved in the dorm are the plugs. There weren't many and not very close to the bed.

Executes purpose very well.
I was only told when I arrived that the WiFi is only usable on the ground floor. So if you want to do any work requiring the internet in your room this may be challenging as connectivity is poor.
There is nothing else to comment on except the mattress which I think even a tiny increase softness would go a long way.
The local area is quiet and has exceptional beauty. No problems with behavior and the staff were all very friendly.

convenient hostel in central bristol
I was not familiar with the key which was a swipe-card, so I didn't know how to open the doors. But once I knew what to do it was very convenient.
The room was a disappointment, very small and with no table or chair. I also thought it would have a private bathroom, as I must have misunderstood the description. The shower cubicles were also a bit uncomfortable, as there was insufficient space inside to keep anything dry. So I put my towel on a radiator in the corridor opposite the cubicle, otherwise it would have got wet.
The other problem was noisy neighbours, after 11 p.m. This was made worse by the thin walls and creaking floor-boards. Perhaps the staff should patrol the corridors after 11 p.m. to make sure no visitors are making too much noise.
On the plus side I really liked the self-catering kitchen, and there was always hot water. I was also very grateful for the lift, which is constantly in use.

It's in a great spot in the city within easy walking distance of the train station and bus stops.
Was let down by the beds - they are the smallest single beds I've ever slept in, not to mention the lack of mattress thickness and they're covered in plastic.
There was also not enough bathrooms on the floor. Two toilets and two showers was all we had! Not ideal.
Overall not the worst hostel, but it lends itself to a stay of maximun two nights.
