The Bristol Wing, hotel in Bristol

Attractively set in the Bristol Old City district of Bristol, The Bristol Wing is situated 700 metres from Cabot Circus, 1.6 km from Bristol Temple Meads Station and 3.6 km from Bristol Zoo Gardens.

I was woken up early by the person above me struggling to get off the bed & then an alarm went off but generally was good. The bathroom could have been a bit cleaner but all in all it was a convenient stay being so close to the bus station. Free coffee in the morning was a plus

YHA Bath, hotel in Bristol

With large private gardens, YHA Bath is set in a stunning Italian-style mansion, 10 minutes’ walk from Bath city centre. It offers affordable accommodation, laundry facilities and a restaurant.

That staff were really amazing! We missed our paid breakfast last time (which was entirely our fault), however, they still warmly offered us some hot refreshments, pastries and yogurt to have before we left off. Thank you to the awesome kitchen guys (apologize, I’m really bad with names) for not letting us leave with hungry stomachs! We don’t deserve it. Really lol We also love, love, love the hostel so much! The location is great. We really felt we were one with nature. And very close to a bus stop going to the City Centre and Train station. Too bad we had to stay for a night only and leave the following day for work back in London.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Cai was lovely, friendly but also provided some space where needed. Comfortable and quiet, ideal for a cheap stay overnight where bells and whistles of a hotel not needed. Thanks Cai.

    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.
