Great value and a really comfortable night. Booked a family room and found it clean and with easy access to toilets and showers. Arrived very late but staff were on reception to welcome us. Breakfast options were good and the dining room is cheerful and clean. Would definitely stay again.

The property felt clean and safe. The grounds could use some TLC but after being a YMCA mender for 30 years, I understand the hardships that come with taking care of older buildings and grounds. Worth the money to stay here.

Great cheap place for overnight stay

Was visiting Bath for an evening concert, and wanted a cheap bed to crash in. This was fine - providing you're happy in a dorm. The bedding was fresh and clean. The complimentary breakfast was also excellent. Checking in and out was all straightforward. There are lockers available - but you have to bring your own padlock. Incredible value if you just need a bed for the night!

Let's be realistic, for £20 a night in the centre of Bath you can't go expecting the Ritz. It did the job adequately.

Good for 1 night

A basic but comfortable Hostel in the centre of Bath. Top floor Showers do not have hot water however pro tip is the 1st floor showers are electric so you can get your hot shower there. The 3 bed bunks are very uncomfortable - however it was good enough for 1 night stay in Bath.

Will work if you don't mind noise

We stayed in a private double room, it had a sink and was on ground floor - room was clean, shared showers were overflowing and tiny. Do not recommend if you a light sleeper and need quiet space - the room has practically no sound isolation (sounds from the hall carry into the room, and if you open the window (and you need to if you like fresh air) - everyone likes to sit outside just beside the window and it is especially noisy in the night. Staff is great, kitchen has a microwave and cutlery, so it is very convenient to buy food from Waitrose and eat at the YMCA. Location is great

Overall the time which I spent there was nice because of the very polite and helpful young gentlemans whose work on the reception.They dealed with any issues which I have what makes me feel comfortable. The one thing which wasn’t great was the room. But as I mentioned the stuff helps resolve this problem. I recommend that place for people who want to spend active time outside 😊
