Pros: Great price for the stay. What I expected from a hostel. Very smart aesthetic for a hostel and nice outdoor space. Bar/coffee area very trendy.
Cons: Arrived at 1:30. Wasn’t made to feel welcome recognises a 3pm check in but didn’t fully understand why the bar area was cleaned at 1:30 and I had to leave in order for this to happen. Lady at the front desk was nice so didn’t want to contradict her or cause any upset. Massive ominous stain on the carpet in the room(11). Would have been nice just to have simple plastic cups in the room. But again understand why not as it’s a hostel not a hotel.
8,0 Excellent
Pros: Pleasant surroundings
Cons: Very noisy machine type noise most nights making sleeping difficult.
3,0 Mediocre
Pros: Breakfast was great value and there was something for everyone.
Cons: The room was extremely noisy - we have 3 small children and between 1.30am - 2 am the doors outside our room opened and closed around 50 times! It woke the baby who then stayed awake until 5am. Surely someone taking the booking could have seen we had small children and placed us somewhere a little quieter?

Some coffee, tea, and snack provided with affordable prices. Cleanliness of bedroom, bathroom, and all building is so much impressive.
Cons: Some loud noises and inconsiderate behaviour by teens (knocking the doors) but it is not a fault of a hostel. Some communal showers need an improvement e.g. hot water not came out It would be good if you could swap a free space during cleaning time (10 am - 3pm) for a customer to stay in a hostel.

Pros:
Cons: It was a good hostel ideas for improvements would be curtains on the bunk beds for some form of privacy and a dedicated area to get changed and dressed

Pros: Good location, clean rooms, friendly staff
Cons: I stayed in more then 50 hostels, this is the only one where I had to pay for luggage storage. Mixed bathroom wasn't that clean so I went to the female bathroom, which was fine.

Pros: close to the center and convenient to shop
Cons: No kitchen and messy chill out room. Some difficult to find the reception if you miss the pub in the ground floor.

Cons: It says in the description is a party hostel, don't disregard this. It is right over a lively pub (especially on match nights) and can get very noisy. The area seems to have many other pubs and inns because there were people coming and going up until 1 or 2 in the morning. Take this into consideration if you are bothered by noise.

Pros: Discounts on food and drink at the bar. Friendly and helpful staff
Cons: I thought it was single sex dorm but wasn't. No parking - had to park 10+ min walk away. Pillows were so thin they may as well not have bothered. Although free earplugs were given, the bass from the music in the bar was vibrating the bed. The under bed storage lockers squeaked and made loads of noise.

Pros: The Room - without any facilities is quiet and safe - and the Bus Link (route 18 + U18) from outside the central bus station is well serviced.
Cons: I did Not really enjoy my stay at the University - On arrival - I could not find the Check In Reception area in the dark - so had to walk a lot within the Campus to find it - I stayed in Marlborough Court, there was No Tea / Coffee facilities available in room or anywhere within the accommodation block - and No TV in the room - nor Radio either !! For Breakfast - it is available in the Sports Village Gym building - but as I experienced, one morning the Chef was not available - and on morning 2, a large queue had formed that would have kept me waiting for 40 minutes standing just to get a cuppa or something to eat. I ate in central Bath at the Royal Hotel outside the railway station - and would recommend that Hotel to stay and eat in instead. Not Forgetting - I stayed at a University Campus and Not a Hotel.

Top tips for finding the perfect Bath hostel
Staying in a hostel in Bath comes with a long list of advantages over choosing other accommodation options like hotels and vacation rentals. One of the most significant benefits of booking a hostel in the area is the savings, as Bath hostels are significantly less expensive than area hotels. Other advantages of staying in a hostel include the shared kitchens and self-service laundry facilities that are perfect for the more independent travelers.

If you’re traveling to Bath on your own and you’re looking to meet up with other travelers, choosing the right hostel is essential.
