About

A high quality, four star hostel providing a relaxed oasis in the heart of Bristol. This friendly, vibrant and culturally rich and diverse city, boasts many world famous attractions.

A great city centre location makes this a perfect base. Explore the harbourside and old city areas, and visit the magnificent Avon Gorge, Brunel's suspension bridge or enjoy Bristol's cultural base of theatres, museums, art galleries and thriving live music and club scene. A former waterfront grain house, this hostel has been sympathetically restored to offer relaxed cosmopolitan surroundings.

Good spot and nice staff however when I stayed the whole place was basically filled with school groups. Not sure if this is common but was a bit lonely for sure so maybe check with staff before you go!

Good hostel overall. Staff were pretty nice. They had luggage storage in the rooms which was good. In a great location right on the river. Had to pay for a full breakfast to have a cup of tea but other than that it was a good stay.
