The Bristol Wing, hotel in Bristol

Attractively located in the Bristol Old City district of Bristol, The Bristol Wing is located a 8-minute walk from Cabot Circus, one mile from Bristol Temple Meads Station and 2.3 miles from Bristol...

I found the lodging to be quite nice. Location was excellent, near to the bus station and transport. My room was great-quite spacious, comfortable, and warm. There was a wardrobe set up and chair/desk. Good windows that could open for a bit of fresh air too. Shared shower and toilet was right out in the hall and only used by 3 rooms so it was never busy. Wi-fi was strong and the shared kitchen and communal area was really nice. Coffee, tea, and basic breakfast was included, which was great as I hadn't expected it. Overall wonderful stay I really enjoyed it.

Bath Backpackers, hotel in Bath

Centrally located and just a 2-minute walk from the bus and train stations, Bath Backpackers is a community based hostel which offers budget accommodations with a homely feel.

The hostel is perfect for solo travelers, they use to organize some extra-activities to enjoy yourself and get to know the other guests and staff, or if you rather your own plans, sometimes the staff suggests you some activities or tours with special prices or even free. The atmosphere was so nice and they try to make you feel like home. There are also lots of books for your free time if you want to be there for a long period.

Rock n Bowl, hotel in Bristol

Located in the heart of Bristol, Rock n Bowl features free WiFi and TVs in public areas. Guests benefit from discounts at the pizzeria which is located in the same building.

The staff members were very friendly and welcoming. The location of the hostel is great. The rooms were big enough and the beds were comfortable. Even though it's a vibe of a really old hostel it had a great feeling. There is a big kitchen and Big communal areas to chill or work. It was clean and cozy.

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.

    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.
