The walls must be thin, the family opposite our room where very loud until the early hours. Apart from that we had no complaints.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry your stay was disturbed by other guests, we would encouraged anyone who is experiencing noisy neighbours to contact reception who could either move you to a different room if available and/or speak to the guests concerned. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay apart from the disturbance. Regards Bath YMCA

I think putting clean sheets on the dirty floor does not correcpond to the hygienic norms. I will never stay at your hostel again.

Thank you for your feedback. The sheets are put onto plastic bags not directly onto the floor. However we recognise that this is not an ideal situation and have changed the way clean sheets are allocated to rooms. We would like to thank you for raising this issue as it means we can improve the service we provide. Regards Bath YMCA

Enjoyed staying there for 8 days. The only unpleasant aspect was the crowds of student groups that arrived on the weekend and blocked the entire reception with their bags and things. Staff were friendly and the place was in a great location.

I think they shouldn' t charge clients for keeping their luggage for a couple of hours! The weekly time for breakfast is too short: how about from 7 to 10 on week days and to 11 on weekends?

I've stayed here before whilst working in Bath and would stay here again quite happily. The staff are always very helpful, breakfast is included (toast and cereals and a full English is only £2.50). It's always clean and tidy and good value for money.

I am so pleased that the YMCA provides great value in the heart of Bath, so that "normal" folk can enjoy the city. I stayed in a single room which was cleaned to a high standard, The room was comfortable with chair, desk, wardrobe, drawers and sink. The communal bathrooms were also very clean. The staff on the desk were very friendly and helpful. The use of the microwave in the evenings was great and free hot water is on tap to all guests. Excellent -keep up the good work YMCA!

Basic accommodation but good value for money. A kettle in the kitchen would be handy and salt/pepper. Staff friendly and helpful.

Owner Comment (Show)
Thank you for your comments. The coffee machines offer hot water free of charge to customers. Your suggestion to provide salt and pepper when the restaurant is closed is a valid point and has been passed onto the catering department. Regards Bath YMCA

Twin private room with shared bathroom facilities was a good and affordable option for a long weekend getaway. The accommodation good value for money. The only thing I would've liked to have seen was cleaner bathrooms. While the rooms were immaculate, the bathrooms were quite dirty from time to time (e.g. hair on shower floor, wet floors, spiders in toilet cubicles, stains in toilet bowls). Check-in staff were rude when we first arrived but other staff were friendly.

The location was great, an easy walk to most of the town and train station. Our room was clean, bathrooms were nearby and staff welcoming.

The bed was a little small, but as the room was clean, secure, warm and spacious it was not worth worrying about for two nights.

Excellent Hostel - clean, private, friendly staff. A bit out of the way and hard to find, especially in the dark, but well worth the walk. Thank you!
