Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Very easy check in process. The property is an old police station, and therefore quite cool. Definitely hostel vibes, with young people hanging about in the lobby. Very safe, with an access controlled front door, as well as all other doors which require a card swipe. Good value for such a central location in Bristol. Room was very spacious, and the bed was very comfy.

    Clean and comfortable. Yes, the music is loud at the weekend - as is well communicated and advertised by the hostel. We expected it and were fine with it. No issues, great all round. Safe secure hostel, comfy beds, clean showers, helpful staff. Great pub downstairs, 10% off drinks & pizza when you show hostel key card.

    Such a lovely modern hostel! I felt completely safe staying solo here, I had a single room with shared bathroom which was absolutely clean, smelled fresh and it was very quiet. Nice range of cereal for breakfast and lots of tea options and an instant coffee included. Would stay there again for sure!

    I had a good stay in this hostel. The room was simple but clean, my bed was comfy, clean bedding. The shared bathroom was clean, with a very good shower, location great. The rules of the hostel don't let you bring food or alcohol to your room but I cannot see a problem with it. The receptionists were always available and happy to help. And of course the place is very cheap... So if you are on a budget and looking for a quiet place to stay this place will meet your requirements.

    Exactly what I paid for, a safe, cheap stay in a locked 2-bed room for me and my friend. On queen's square so right next to everywhere you need for a night out in bristol city. The staff were friendly and we were let in quickly despite arriving at 2-3am. The beds were springy but soft and comfortable enough. The toilet and shower were in excellent condition.

    Staff were very friendly and the location of this youth hostel in the centre of Bristol, next to the marina and the aquarium, is great! The 5 person room was good and the bunk beds were of a decent quality. The bathroom facilities in the corridor were clean. There was a restaurant, a bar and shared kitchen facilities, which had all the equipment, cutlery and crockery that you might need.
