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.

Lovely location just outside of the city centre - 30 minutes by foot or 5 minutes by bus. Friendly staff and great facilities. Clean and spacious room. Good value for money overall with the option of a price worthy full English breakfast add-on at check-in.

We booked a twin room and were greeted warmly and felt welcome at the property. All queries were answered and the staff made sure that we were felt safe, comfortable and welcome. Breakfast was good and over all the place was excellent value for money. It is centrally located and very close to the market and bus station. We would definitely stay at this place again.

All hostels in Bristol

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.

I had a good stay in this hostel. The room was simple but clean, my bed was comfy, clean bedding. The shared bathroom was clean, with a very good shower, location great. The rules of the hostel don't let you bring food or alcohol to your room but I cannot see a problem with it. The receptionists were always available and happy to help. And of course the place is very cheap... So if you are on a budget and looking for a quiet place to stay this place will meet your requirements.

Exactly what I paid for, a safe, cheap stay in a locked 2-bed room for me and my friend. On queen's square so right next to everywhere you need for a night out in bristol city. The staff were friendly and we were let in quickly despite arriving at 2-3am. The beds were springy but soft and comfortable enough. The toilet and shower were in excellent condition.

Staff were very friendly and the location of this youth hostel in the centre of Bristol, next to the marina and the aquarium, is great! The 5 person room was good and the bunk beds were of a decent quality. The bathroom facilities in the corridor were clean. There was a restaurant, a bar and shared kitchen facilities, which had all the equipment, cutlery and crockery that you might need.
