Everything is excellent. I spent only 17 pounds in a 4-bed-room with only 1 roommate. Convinient and this place is really recommendable!:)

I visited all hostels in Bath except YMCA, and this one is my favourite. I was here the 2nd time and like it a lot. Room Brutus is great :)

Fantastic location! Just down the road from the train station which was ideal when I was struggling with my huge backpack and only a moments walk from attractions. Unlike my previous stay in Bath at another hostel I found the Backpackers had a very homely feel and was full of character. The common room turned out to be a great place to meet people as I was travelling alone, not only did I chat to other guests but the hostel staff were not only helpful but incredibly friendly. I had a great time!

Older building with vibrant interior wall murals! Punch code "keys" on front door and rooms. Small but fully equipped kitchen. Bathrooms on 2 and 3 floors were small and dirty, but the main bathrooms were usually cleaner and well worth the trek downstairs. Shower rooms equipped with motion sensitive lights on a short timer (so be quicke in the stalls or you'll be in the dark) and never had hot water (even if you shower first). Beds very squeaky and a little uncomfortable.

Good location, reasonable prices, good kitchen with huge fridges, comfortable living room with sofas, sky, benches, tables, free wifi and always a few people to hang out with. I loved spending time there. The room itself (female dorm, DIVAS) was not so good. The bed was not super duper comfortable but the main problem was the door that squeaked extremly load. For people who are crazy about clean toilets: That's the place to go! I have never seen so clean toilets in a hostel before!

A brilliant little hostel! The staff were friendly, fun and relaxed. The rooms were nice although the sheets seemed to be dirty which wasn't very pleasant. We had a great time though and would definitely stay there again!
