Avoid Bath at all costs. It is horribly expensive and there's is really nothing going on.
Bath is a beautiful city. Make sure to visit the Roman Baths, they are amazing. Eat breakfast at the Pump Room, it's cheap and very tasty!
St. Christopher's Inn - Bath in Bath … It may just be the fact that this was my first hostel experience, but I had one of the best travelling nights of my life here. Like all hostels in cities, though, it is a bit noisy, but hostels were not made for light sleeper! If you're cool with that then everything else is perfect. VERY CLEAN rooms and beds. However I can not stress how cool the staff was to me, and the people I was traveling with. In fact if you just like to hang out with interesting and clever people then you should definitely check out the chill out room. Here the staff just chills out with you to watch movies and get drunk (well ok, I and another guy got drunk, the hostel isn't run by alcoholics or something). In fact they even gave me a few beers for free. They just really made me feel at home, and it was much appreciated. More so, the inn is excellently located and the staff are very knowledgeable about the area. So that is why I have to give them five stars!
YHA Bath Youth Hostel in Bath … I stayed in this excellent hostel last summer. One night was too short of a time to be there. The city of Bath was so beautiful and nice! Hostel has very great location. In spite of the fact it was in the middle of the city, the place was peaceful. The house was so lovely! I will go there again some day..
The Full Moon Backpackers Hostel in Bristol … I was skeptical about booking here because of negative reviews, but I was pleasantly surprised! The staff is very friendly (though not always extremely knowledgeable about the area but whatever), the rooms are clean, the shower and bathroom facilities clean, private, and in good working condition. They use a little fingerprint security system instead of a key, so no keeping up with keys, plus it feels very secure. The rooms are what you'd expect, no surprises there, but for 16 pounds a night (which is what we paid for the room) it's a bargain! Plus it's very eco friendly if that's your thing. Yes, the bar is overpriced. Don't go there, then. Pie minister (yum!) is right down the road, and there are plenty of bars within easy walking distance if that's what you're looking for.
YHA Bristol Hostel in Bristol … Amazing location, bang in the middle of town with a great view if you're lucky (which we were). Excellent facilities. One of the best breakfasts i've had at a hostel as well. The staff were pretty helpful. All in all the best hostel in bristol for sure.
City of Bath YMCA in Bath … Incredibly clean — our room was immaculate, as were the bathrooms down the hall. Great location and great desk staff out front — very friendly, and very helpful. Breakfast was great, and the whole place just gave off a really good vibe overall.
YHA Bath Youth Hostel in Bath … Stayed there sixteen years ago. It was great then!
YHA Bath Youth Hostel in Bath … I stayed in this hostel just before Christmas, and the atmosphere was fabulous—from the marble floors to the Christmas tree! The kitchen was well-stocked and extremely clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They even pointed out discounts we didn't know about. There were many single travelers there, as well as families. The walk into town down the hill was beautiful and well worth the 20 minutes through green pastures and past small streams. The bed was really comfortable, and the bathroom was clean and warm! I would definitely recommend this place—just catch the bus there from the station as the walk up the hill is a bit of an effort with a pack! Lovely!
Bath Backpackers in Bath … I just loved this place! The entire hostel (which is big) has the walls painted with really funky murals and such. Very inviting. The staff is really helpful and were even foolish enough to laugh at some of my jokes. The dorm rooms, showers and kitchen were as clean as need be, and the TV room was cozy and encouraged interaction. Met some cool people there and got some good alone time in too. Perfect place to stay in Bath! E-mail me if you have any specific questions about this place and I will try and answer from memory, was there early last year. djusttraveling@yahoo.com
Bristol Backpackers in Bristol … I stayed a bit in this hostel, during the summer and the winter. Everything is very good! Clean, good atmosphere, very helpful staff, cheap beer at the bar downstairs, and the people met were awesome! Best advice ever: Go there!
City of Bath YMCA in Bath … Cheap accommodation in the centre of Bath, excellent location for the restaurants and pubs (and the sight seeing!!!). The rooms are basic and clean and you get breakfast - definitely worth the money. The staff are helpful - Andrew at reception is friendly and helpful. I will be recommending this place to my other friends who are travelling.
YHA Bath Youth Hostel in Bath … This hostel is great! Clean, friendly, helpful. It's not the most centrally located place to stay in Bath but it's well worth the great walk or easy bus ride to stay in this beautiful house! Definitely stay here!
YHA Bristol Hostel in Bristol … Excellent place. Used to be quite grotty, but now its great. The service and cleanliness is good, and for a low price too.
