Excellent location, though the door signage is kind of hidden among the buildings. Friendly staff. Would appreciate if left luggage service could be provided for free, so as most hostels do.

Hi Thank you for your review. We are trying to get a larger sign but Bath council have very strict rules about putting signage up as all the buildings in the city are protected. Best wishes St christophers team

By far the best hostel I have stayed at. The location could not be better, the building is fun and loaded with character as well as all the modern amenities including lockers, wifi, full kitchen, clean hot powerful showers, and several busy lounge rooms. I'm trying to think of one negative so I don't seem biased, but I just can't! Can't wait to come back to Edinburgh to stay here again.

The signboard is not really obvious. Taking a shower is not very enjoyable due to ecofriendly showers. Luggage storage is not free. However, we had a good slay and the food was good.

Hi Thank you for your review. We are waiting on Bath council to allow us to put a bigger sign up. Unfortunately it is taking longer than we expected. We do realize our showers are not the most luxurious but they do save a lot of energy and water. Our luggage store is only charged after check out it is free during your stay. Best wishes St christopher team

I enjoyed my stay here. I have stayed in dozens of hostels across Europe, and this one was above average! The staff were friendly. If i return to Bath as a backpacker, I know ill be staying here again!

Good location and great large rooms. Quite loud from the street at night and cold showers were the worst thing!!

Hi Thank you for your review. We are aware that the street can be quite loud so we do provide free earplugs to everyone. Our showers are not generally cold, they take a few pushes to get the hot water running but if you can let us know which shower it was we can look into it. Best wishes St christophers team

Stayed in January main heater in dorm room was broken so room was unbearably cold. Told staff every night that heater was broken and they said they would 'look at it' but nothing was done. Lower bathrooms very cold not heated like the tope bathrooms, then the toilets flooded and so the whole bathrooms was out of order for 24 hours so had to use bathrooms upstairs. Breakfast good, staff friendly, beds fine, excellent locations.

Hi Thank you for your review. I am sorry the heating was not sorted out during your stay. It is a very old building and can be hard to fix these problems quickly. Best wishes St Christophers team

Centrally located, great value hostel. There was a little noise from the street and occasionally from the bar below but didn't disturb my sleep. Also had a chilled loungeroom up on the top floor which was great for relaxing. watching movies/tv etc. I'd recommend this place for a good value place in Bath.

My 2nd stay here. It was fun but quite dead. Belushi's was usually busy with an interesting crowd which made it easy to meet people. Girls dorm was a treat with hairdryer and straightener! Nice location & helpful staff.

I enjoyed my stay at this hostel. All of the staff I encountered were friendly and many of them were staying in the hostel themselves, and working in the bar downstairs. Breakfast was basic (toast, spread, cereal, coffee, tea) and decent. Rooms were clean and not too cramped. There were cages below the beds which could be locked if you have a padlock, however no other form of locker. Common room had games, DVDs and always had someone in there (generally a staff member). I would stay here again.

great location and good breakfast. showers not so great: could not adjust the temperature and the water in the shower I had was just below scalding hot. only one outlet that I could find in the 12 person dorm and it was hidden behind a bunk, so not really accessible. staff was friendly as well

Hi, thank you for your review. We are aware of the lack of temperature control in the showers. We are looking into a cost effective solution. Each of our rooms have at least 4 power outlets. Due to the layout of the building some of these are not obvious. We will put up signage to make them more visible. We hope you enjoy the rest of your travels. St. Christopher's Team

It's clean and not bad, but the chill-out room is on the highest floor, which is not very convenient. At the same time, you need to pay to rent a flim or a game. In a word, it doesn't have the atmosphere of a hostel for young people. In addition, the facilities in the bathroom are not so good.

Hi Thank you for your review. Unfortunately due to the nature of the buildings in Bath the top floor was the only place we could put a common area, it also means we are unable to install a lift. We charge a minimal fee of £1 to rent our games and DVDs so we can maintain and expand our selection. If you have any suggestions as to how we can improve our atmosphere or facilities then please don't hesitate to email us. Best wishes St christopher's Team

quite pricey for what you get but OK if you're a party animal. Bar is right downstairs.

The biggest disadvantage is there is no self-catering facilities.

Hi Thank you for your review. Unfortunately we don't have the room to install self catering facilities. But we do provide 2 microwaves in our chill out room. Best wishes St Christopher's Team

This hostel is nicely located in walking distance from all the main attractions, which is good. However, I would highly reccomend that you grab the free ear-plugs at the ront desk because you can hear loud people running the streets at night. One specific downfall was that I nearly frooze to death while sleeping in my room that night. It was so cold. The heater only provided a decent amount of heat to one end of the room, which was where another girl was sleeping.
