YHA Bath Reviews

This hostel was extremely disapointing!!! Nothing was included in the price (10p per 10mins internet, 2pounds a towel, washing extremely expencive) There was no microwave, and the kitchen was very basic and old. The rooms were dusty and musty. The staff lost my friends expencive dress suit. It is a min half hr walk into the town down a quite steep hill. The driveway is unlite which makes it dangerous as there are many tripping hazards etc. Overall, it was really poor... I would not go back

Our family were reasonably happy with the hostel - the room and bathrooms were clean, and the kitchen reasonably well equipped. Major concerns for us were the absence of a lock on our building ('The Lodge') and a very musty smell in our room which was greatly improved by opening a window.

Lovely stay and great staff. If i was to give some constructive feedback, I Thought the breakfast (£ 4.95 and dinner deals were perhaps a little pricey... ( £7/8... could have easily got a meal at a nearby pub for around the same price if not cheaper.

I really enjoyed my stay. Hostel was clean and staff were very friendly.... Bathwick Hill is a tough climb up to the hostel though. I think this should be mentioned on info page.

The hostel staff were fantastic and very helpful. The actual hostel is an old traditional building which was nice so it had more character than the other places. The rooms were very small but clean, and we had a private room with our own bathroom. I ended up however going to the communal bathrooms as our private bathroom was sooooooo tiny with our shower pressure terrible and the shower leaking and water falling onto the toilet. Still i enjoyed my stay, the breakfast was pretty good too.

the annex building is not good, there are only three toilets for far too many people, it smelled like mould and the shower pressure was abysmal. also, there are no lights on the driveway, which is quite long, and made me feel nsafe at night when returning to the hostel.

Shower facilities could be better, bigger and away from the sleeping area, with a moveable head I don't like shower and toilets in the bed rooms when you are sharing with strangers Tea towels could be cleaner and changed more often

Excellent breakfast! Friendly and helpful staff.

As always the staff at Bath Youth Hostel manage to combine a kind and relaxed approach to everyone in spite of working in such a busy and over subscribed hostel. My only comment is that with a recession many families want to use the self catering facilities to cut down on costs and I feel that a few more utensils might be needed. Tessa Clarke

Good Hostel
