Summary of traveller reviews

YHA Bath offers a clean and comfortable stay with friendly staff. While located a bit outside the city centre, many appreciate the peaceful retreat and lovely views during the walk. Some recent guests noted issues with sewage smells in bathrooms and a less-than-ideal cooked breakfast.

Amazing hostel, love the location, even tho it’s a bit far from the centre the walk back and forward was lovely, giving you an amazing view from the whole city. Rooms are spacious and clean, very comfortable beds but specially in my room, the smell of sewage coming from the drains in the bathroom was terrible! Hope they get it fixed. Staff were really nice as well. Overall everything was great
