A great hostal at an amazing location. Most sights were a walkable distance from this place and the coach station is quite literally around the corner. I felt safe during my stay and found everything very clean. The bathrooms, even though there were only two, were especially well-cleaned.

As an avid traveler, I have had the pleasure of staying in numerous hotels around the world. However, my recent stay at Harbourside Hostel was an experience that truly stood out from my expectations. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted with warm smiles and a welcoming atmosphere that immediately made me feel at home. The staff at Harbourside Hostel were exceptional in every way, especially Adhar (sorry if my spelling is incorrect). The facilities at Harbourside Hostel were immaculate and well-maintained. The dormitories were spacious and thoughtfully designed, with comfortable beds, individual lockers, and ample charging points. Moreover, the location of the hostel was superb. Situated in the heart of Bristol city, it offered convenient access to all the major attractions, public transportation, and an array of local restaurants, bars, and shops.

The staff are very engaged with the guests and go above and beyond to make sure they have a good time. They're organising activities almost every day, invite guests to go out with them and even sometimes make guests free pancakes! One of the best experiences (if not the best) in a hostel I had in 15+ years of on and off backpacking.

It is the best hostel I have ever stayed at. It is located on the hill and I was walking there from the bus station (about 25 min on foot) so I could see the great view of Bath. The location is very quiet, only birds singing🥰 The hostel has got a beautiful yard with tables and benches where you can have rest or lunch in the shade of big trees. The rooms and bedding are very clean. I had a bed in a female dormitory, we had a bathroom in our room (with a toilet and a shower) and one more separate toilet also in our room so it's quite comfortable for girls! There is also a big comfortable kitchen with fridges and all things you need for cooking. No deposit fees!!! You pay for your staying there when you arrive.

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.
