YHA Bristol Reviews

It ia a really cool building and in a perfet location but it has no character at all. The girls behind the desk are grumpy and not interested in the visitors. They want you out of there side as quickly as possible, or so it feels. Not really a warm, pleasant welcome. I only stayed there for 1 night, which was fine and cheap but is I had stayed longer in Bristol, I would have liked a different hostel I guess.

This is a lovely hostel, well up to YHA standards. The central location was perfect, but not too noisey and with a lovelt view of the waterside. Staff were helpful and always had a smile. The facilities are brilliant and the hostel has a friendly, relaxed feel.

NO LO RECOMIENDO! POR INTERNET LO ENCONTRARAN A UN PRECIO Y CUANDO LLEGAS AL HOSTEL TE AGREGAN TRES LIBRAS. SI QUIEREN INTERNET DEBEN PAGAR 5 LIBRAS LA COCINA MUY MUY SUCIA ES IMPOSIBLE COMER AHI. HICE FOTOS Y SON PARA UNA PELICULA DE TERROR. CUIDADO CON LAS MALETAS CUALQUIERA SE LAS PUEDE LLEVAR ES MUY FACIL. EN LA SALA DE LA TELEVISON CUANDO LLEGUE POR LA MANHANA ESTABA LLENA DE PAPELES POR EL SUELO POR LA NOCHE SEGUIA IGUAL. ME FUA A OTRO HOSTEL MUCHO MEJOR CON INTERNET GRATIS Y A MEJOR £

Friendly hostel, well located. I liked the coffee bar with excellent hot chocolate and a nice mezzanine area with sofas. Kitchen gets untidy because some hostellers don't do their washing up and the kitchen bin needs a lid, but other than that it is a great place to stay.

For the amount I paid I would have expected free wifi, towel hire and free breakfast (simple toast and cereal). These things shouldn't cost too much and are really basic things that most hostels now provide.

is it an hotel or is is it an youth hostel? you have to pay for breakfast, you have to pay for laudry, you have to pay for lock your baggage, you have to pay for wi-fi. It's not an hostel.

Everything was extra, wifi cost, lockers cost, bed was only 6'. staff seamed disinterested, unwelcoming.

Generally I like the hostel but the room I was in (one of the private rooms) had a dodgy window that didn't close properly, also the noise of creaking floorboards in the next room drove me a little crazy!

Amazing location and really modern, clean hostel. Stayed here for new years and got in easily and safely quite late new years day morning. Brilliant hostel, just had a bit of an issue with a lift door that wouldn't close, but stairs were fine. Considering how little time I actually spent at the hostel, managed to meet lots of different, friendly people from all over the world. Definitely recommend a stay here.

Well located, great views from the room, well equipated kitchen and clean. But check-in at 15, professional staff not friendly at all, cold room and living room. You pay for everything: expensive breakfast, lockers, pool and expensive internet. No good atmosphere to meet people, it's totally the opposite you can expect from a youth hostel.

Excellent stay- the staff were very friendly and helpful! The cafe-bar downstairs is one of the best in town, and is visited by many other chill residents of Bristol to grab a lovely coffee. The location is perfect; my room overlooked the gorgeous scene of the river, boats and bars of Bristol harbour! 2 downsides to be aware of though: use of the computers and wireless internet is way too expensive at 50p for 10 minutes, and there is an additional charge of £3 per night for non members.

overpriced internet access charges

Unbeatable location and clean rooms. Check-in after 2pm.

great hostel cept my match tickets being robbed from my luggage in the left luggage along with boarding passes and aftershave!

The only problem I experienced in the hostel was very squeaky floorboards from ajoining rooms, which kept me awake.

All in all a very clean and comfortable place, but a bit boring which is not a big problem as it is located extremely close to the pub/club area of Bristol. The only thing I really didn't like is that you have to pay for almost every extra. Breakfast (4 pound), locking valuables (2 pounds) and so on - they make you pay for all of that (plus the fee as a non-member), and I've been to many hostels that didn't.

We found the room very cold: the windows should be closed and the heating switched on earlier in the evening...

Very helpful and friendly staff, clean rooms and great location. Just wish there was a bit more life to the place, was pretty dead on a Friday and Saturday night if it wasn't for a couple of really cool people I met there. The tv and air con in the games room didn't seem to work, would be great to have some music down there too. A towel would have been handy and I didn't like having to pay for wifi..

Hostel very clean and professional but not fun at all. There is a pool downstairs and two kind of living room but it all seemed dead for a Friday Night. The location is perfect as there is some clubs, restaurant really close and just beside the river which offer a really nice view. Another point that we didn't like is the fact that you are not allowed to drink your own alcohol inside the Hostel .... but they sells beers at the reception, something is wrong there no ?

This was the best hostel I have stayed in to date!
