Cute little hostel, but very outdated needs a revamp. Cafe is mod and nice. Staff was super helpful and friendly and willing to help. The beds are amazing so comfortable and clean. Best sleep iv had in a hostel.

The shower was awful and hot water was not a thing, thanks fully I could deal with it for 2 nights. Hot water to was hands are super hot for some reason but the shower was like warm pool water on a summer days. Makes no sense. I would recommend a profile check or some way of identifying who can stay in the hostel. I had one guy in my room Middle Aged but was an absolute meth head. He stank like he had not washed in 10 years and both nights he would come into the room every 2 hours in the wee hours of the morning. High as a kite and all the visible symptoms of just having shoot up. That’s was unacceptable and uneasy for me at time when he was in the room. There was a shelter/ help centre 2 block away that he could have been helped at.

Super friendly and helpful staff! Really clean rooms and bathrooms, great value for money. Overall really nice spaces. Really good to have a sink in the room and bathrooms/showers very near the rooms - never had to wait and was able to use it quickly. The rooms are spacious and well ventilated. Overall a really great experience and would definitely stay here again! They also offer breakfast and have a cafe that seems to be reasonably priced and has a great offering so very convenient!

It didn't bother me but worth noting that it is in a nightlife/social area of Bristol - I had no trouble getting to sleep but worth noting. Could be useful to have a slightly larger shelf section in the individual beds, but overall really great/useful.

Location perfect, staff helpful. Ordering drinks sometimes took much longer than expected.I think on my trip there was a lad very new to bar work. You were allowed to eat food on the premises that was purchased elsewhere. Free live musical entertainment. Great teamwork.

I was disappointed that my wishes to have a bottom bunk bed weren't fulfilled. I expected the shared room that accomaded 4 would be the same size as London YHA and would have a locker that would not require purchase of a padlock. No plug in sink and water too hot to wash face in sink. Great for a short trip.

Justin was really helpful and helped me navigate my travels, all staff were super friendly and made me feel so warm and welcomed and really helped my anxiety being an autistic solo traveler to Bristol for the first time! So thankyou for that, I can't wait to come back. The location was superb for me! Everything was so clean and sanitary which is also high on my list having bad allergies to dust. The showers and the oat milk mocha where 100/10!!! Thbakyou to all for my stay.

There wasn't anything to dislike

Stayed for the proximity to the O2 Academy (was in the city attending a gig) and it was a lovely location! Staff was really helpful, allowing me to leave my bag in luggage stores while I waited to be able to check in and went about with some friends in the city, and were also super helpful with letting me back in after the gig was over in the evening!

There wasn't particularly anything I had any qualms with while staying there - maybe the fact it was a Saturday night didn't help me much with sleeping but that's not the property's fault at all. Lovely stay all the way through!

Really great location. Staff were lovely. Check in straightforward. Bag storage was really helpful.

They use the space as a training facility, so the students were using the bathrooms on the floor. It meant there was no toilet paper in the bathroom and no one refilled it the whole night I was there. I think if they are using the space for training, they also need to keep an eye on this. Yes I could have gone down and asked, but doing down in my pjs after a long day exploring was not something I wanted to do. The main entrance is a little hidden so I ended up walking around the whole street before realising the sign for the cafe was the hostel.

The location was great, within walking distance of all the places I wanted to visit in one day. The staff gave me some recommendations for places to eat breakfast.

The shelves in the luggage room looked like they were about to collapse at any minute. Neither could I lock my little locker where I left my personal belongings in the locker room. The WiFi didn’t work. The staff had messed up my booking somehow: I had booked a room for one, but they placed me in a room with 4 beds. Luckily, I still got to have my “private room.

Nice large family room dorm on the top floor. Comfy mattresses. Friendly staff who helped us get another night accommodation and make our way to Glastonbury for a day trip. Walking distance to a lot of sights to see. Close to convenience stores. Well functioning self catering kitchen and very clean.

There is no sneaking around to the toilets at night as the floor boards creak. But this is due to the age of the building. It's a beautiful old building.

I loved the security with the key cards. You needed them to access every corridor and the lift, so even if someone did tailgate someone in, they wouldn't get very far. I also liked that the place was clean and tidy and the bed was both supportive and comfortable. The large locker under the bed for each person was super useful. Although breakfast for those with a wheat allergy was limited, the chef was reassuring with her knowledge and also toasted gf bread in a separate grill. The location was ideal for exploring the city too. I would stay again.

There was nowhere to put your clean clothes whilst showering as the only hook was inside the shower. Lucky I had a waterproof bag with me, but just a hook on the outside of the shower would have been helpful here. Also there was an unnecessary cross contamination risk in the restaurant where the cutlery was placed directly after the toaster and bread rolls. If the cutlery stand and the bread + toaster were swapped round, people with wheat allergies would be much safer.
