Pretty standard hostel - clean, friendly service, etc. There is parking across Broad St. from the hotel, which is convenient.

Stayed in a dorm for a night. This is a cheap hostel to stay at Bath if you are looking for budget accommodation but would not stay for more than a night as poor shower facilities, hygiene is borderline and security of rooms (especially dorms) is not that great. Staff are helpful though. This place just needs a little bit of revamp.

Many thanks for your comments. We are midway through revamping our dorms with all the dorms on the first completed with brand new beds, mattresses, curtains on the beds and individual lights and plug points, unfortunately the 2nd floor dorms, of which you stayed in, have not yet been done, but will hopefully be done at some point in the future. The shower facilities have all been fully renewed wihin the last couple of years and and are cleaned every morning

Good value for money - relatively cheap, but with excellent location, friendly staff and clean rooms. The atmosphere generally also seems to be fine. Only disappointment was the breakfast - the continental breakfast is poor and an extra fee is required for a cooked breakfast and certain hot drinks.

This place is excellent value. The rooms are clean and the facilities excellent. Bath is a great place to visit and I'd stay again at the YMCA.

There were some problems with the plug sockets in our room which were rectified in a reasonable amount of time, but this seemed to be a problem experienced by many rooms from talking to others, so its perhaps something that needs to be addressed more uniformly. Otherwise a great stay.

Good Hostel,clean and convenient. A group of us have stayed there on the same week for the last 10 years. The initial attraction was price but it has now become very expensive and for just a little more we can get a more comfortable hotel.

The staff were very warm and helpful. The accommodation was basic but clean and very secure. Lots of information available from staff or the leaflets that in the reception area.

The YMCA hostel staff were very welcoming and helpful. My friend and I had booked separate rooms but we asked on the day if we could switch to a twin and they were able to accomodate this for us. The hostel was extremely clean and the shower facilties were great. The location is also fantastic. I would definitely recommend this hostel.

We were searching for some reasonably priced accommodation in Bath (hard to come by) and this was perfect as we were coming up for a wedding. Great city centre location, staff were really nice. Only things I would say were it was very noisy (late night drunks coming back and corridors magnify every sound) .. and there were no plug points in the room (very strange) so no phone charging or hair straightening/drying.

Many thanks for the feed back. There are plug points in all the private rooms, unfortunately lots of them are obscured by the curtains. We have put a laminated notice in the rooms explaining this. As for the drunks, we do have a 24hr reception, unfortunately no noise can be heard at the reception desk, so we need guests to inform the desk of any unruly behaviour, but it's obviously very hard to keep a drunk person quiet.

Excellent location, friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast could be improved but it was still good.

We had issues getting into our room on arrival so left our stuff in the storage after being reassured it would be safe. The gentleman we dealt with late evening was terrific. So helpful and accommodating to our needs.

The hostel was well run and the accommodation was great value for money. Only thing I would change is that my room was nearer the ladies toilets and showers and had to cross the staircase in the night to use the toilet, would have been better if male only rooms are on the same side of the staircase as male facilities although am aware wouldn't always be possible and just a minor thing

Many thanks for your feedback. We are in the process of adding an extra shower and toilets in a corridor on each floor so we will have a male and female shower in at least one of the corridors on each floor. We are not able to do the same with the other corridors for various reasons. We do try and put guests by appropriate toilets, but it's not always possible.

First time I have stayed in a YMCA since I was 20 (and then it was a YWCA) and that was nearly 40 years ago. Helpful staff, great central location, good local knowledge especially when it came to car parking. I would definitely stay again.
