Opted for the 3 bed room. Functional, clean and what I expect from the Hostel. Our room overlooked the front entrance and was rather noisey in the small hours. But fine because I had 20 pints beforehand (helped to deaded the noise). The shared shower room was modern and clean.

Overall not a bad hostel - clean and quiet. It was a little bizarre having only one key for the dorm rooms though, meaning that if someone was sleeping in the room the door had to be left unlocked or they were woken up by others knocking on the door to come in.

Our normal dorms range from 10 bed to 14 bed and work on a code, unfortunately they were all booked out to groups so we used a private quad room as a dorm for those looking for something cheaper than booking out a private room to themselves. The snag is that we only provide one key for the private rooms, the reason being that if someone lost or took the key then we would have to change the locks as well as the other 3 keys.

The location was great because it was in walking distance to everything. The hostel was clean and the man at the front desk was very helpful when we asked about a place to eat. He even printed a coupon off for us to use. I would definitely stay there again!

If you are looking for a average bed in a good part of the city, than this is the spot for you. Nothing fancy, but everything is there that you need. The biggest con would be the only lockers available are outside the rooms downstairs and you have to pay for them, but besides that nothing else was a disappointment.

Great stay and location for 4 older women. Longer ladder rungs for bunks would be easier for any age or size. Clean and well lit. Location directions helpful.

The guests were noisy and ideally there should be some quiet time after a certain time. my partner couldnt get to sleep becuase there was noise under our window until 3am. We didnt know if we had the right to ask for a quieter time

The location is more than 6 minutes walk from the Bath Bus Station,though it is in the city centre.It will be better to put a sign board well-maked.

The YMCA Bath hostel was a great place to stay in Bath, particularly for the value. The accommodations were not luxurious, but they were more than adequate for our needs: clean, comfortable, and convenient. I would definitely stay here again on a subsequent trip...

Great option in this beautiful city. Most of the other accomodations in Bath are quite expensive so the fact that you provide this option is greatly appreciated.

I stayed here overnight with my young son and we had a fantastic time. The staff were really child-friendly and the accommodation was perfect for what we needed. The place is a little noisy around midnight and after but you would expect that of any large hotel or motel anyway so that is really no problem.

I stayed in single room, and I liked there very much because it was very quiet and I could see Bath Abbey from my room window.

A good hostel, with a great location. Free lockers inside the rooms would be nice, and there is a desperate need for more outlets, but I would stay here again.

An excellent value and very excellent location for walking Bath. Facility ( rooms, bathrooms, cafe) were very clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. A little tricky to locate the first time as the entrance requires finding the correct side lane entrance. We were a group of middle aged women and there in mid week in September and it was very quiet, so it suited us! I suspect it is much livelier and youth oriented on the weekend.
