The building is gorgeous. There is a wonderful self catering kitchen (though it could use a cooktop). The views are extraordinary. And the staff is stellar to a person!!!

This was my first stay in a hostel and I loved it! The accommodations were simple but clean. Our view from the window of our room was stunning. The area was quiet. During our last night there was a large group of young students and did not hear a peep from evening until morning. The kitchen had everything we needed to make breakfast and the meals you could purchase were well done. The staff were very helpful. I will stay in another YHA hostel for sure if I get the chance to go back to England.

Staff very friendly and welcoming, always greeting you when you entered. Facilities are great especially for self-catering. Bathrooms clean. Rooms a little dated. Bunk beds very sturdy-not rickety or squeaky. Only negative I can think of is the bed sheets are too small for the beds so they come untucked very easily meaning I woke up often sleeping on the mattress instead of the sheet. Overall a great property, great location, good for parking too. Very hilly if you are walking though!

The room is small but clean. The location is a distance away from the city center but there is a bus stop 2 minutes away from the property; a couple of buses go directly to/from the city center. The staff is friendly and efficient. I did not have breakfast at this hostel.

I had a good stay at the YHA in Bath. The staff were helpful, and the facilities were clean. It was great to have an extra toilet in the dorm room. The bed was comfy and everyone in the dorm was considerate and kept noise levels down. The location is great for exploring Bath.

Very very difficult to get up to our room because of the multi levels of stairs but more importantly copious copious doorways that had to be unlocked to go through to next section. I understand the idea of safety but the situation was frustratingly comical- how laborious and time consuming it all was.

Bath YHA is set high on a hill just outside the city centre, but is well serviced by public transport. A beautiful, calming green space with nearby walks into town with breathtaking views. The staff were friendly and helpful, our private family room suited our purpose well, and the breakfast (extra cost) was decent. Would recommend the Bath YHA as a great budget option for exploring beautiful Bath.

We really enjoyed our stay at YHA Bath during the Jane Austen festival. Simone went above and beyond, giving us great recommendations for local restaurants, sights to see and how to get to places. She let us store our luggage before check-in and after check-out so we could explore the surrounding area. She even took photos for us when we got dressed up for the ball!
