Convenient for Academy gigs

I never have big budgets for trips so wanted somewhere convenient and comfortable for taking my lad to a gig at the Academy. Found ok although wasn't obvious as we approached, and given details by the bar in the reception bar area. We were five or so floors up in the converted loft space and the lift was out of order, just opening and shutting on one of the other floors. Room was basic, no TV or kitchen area, and shared showers were down the corridor. My lad loved the trip eapecially taking takeaway back to our room after the show. Comfortable beds and would go back.

Excellent value for a sole traveller on the quayside in Bristol. Booked a 6 bed room but was given a 4 bed room. Excellent range of bars and restaurants nearby. Check out a bit early though at 10am , as Breakfast runs to 10 am also.

Never stayed in a Youth Hostel before, probably shouldn’t have left it until my 40’s. However, it was a great place to stay. Food was good, reasonably priced and all that. The room was clean as owt. Bunk beds are for young people though. I’d probably stay again though.

Reception staff were brisk/efficient, but very warm/courteous. Beds were made, clean and had lights/charging stations. Lots of hanger hooks in room as well as a fan (considered no A.C). Breakfast options allowed either simple continental or full cooked. Downstairs bar was cool and area is close to Harbourside..

Yha Bristol

For a hostel it was great, affordable, clean, plenty of loos and showers. I liked that the decor was plain, a preference over what you sometimes see - large fornat prints covering the walls. Customer service was always good, friendly and straightforward.

Wonderful facilities

The only downsides to this place are sometimes people who stay are mean enough to leave puddles, beer bottles and other items in the bathroom but they are sorted by the staff once asked, there was only one shower room to share amongst a whole floor of people with four people per room and the city student life makes it a rather noisy place at night depending how used to it you are. It was hard to handle the heat of the room at night yet I would call this hostel amazing for its opportunity to make unlikely friends, the shower is very comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped and sanitary with modern facilities to fit all the wants a self caterer could need. The service was lovely and efficient amongst staff and did feel very safe and secure with the key card authentication system. I'd stay here again and again especially for its location.
