Amazing view over Bath from this YHA. There’s a comfortable large lounge area as well as a big kitchen dining area where you can use microwaves to cook (there are no hobs.) very friendly, lots to do so returning in summer 😊

Honest detailed review. Great stay
Absolutely great stay and stunning location. We traveled as a group of friends and booked the private room. All the facilities and and service staff was just wonderful and welcoming. I would say the private rooms could be a little bigger in size but that's not a problem. Everything was clean and beautifully maintained. The priory itself was beautiful in and around the grouds. The kitchen and self catering area was great, spacious and well equipped with all utensils cutlery and multiple ovens. There is no induction or stove if anybody needs that detail. We were able to cook a lot of things in the ovens and kitchen space. Walk to the hostel from bath city centre is very scenic but it is quite uphill so i would not recommend walking with bags. Over all a great stay and highly recommended.

Issues with the check in.
I had an issue when checking in as the bed had been 'double booked' by 2 different platforms (hotels.com and expedia.com). I arrived before the other person but it took just over 1 hour for the staff to force the system to allocate the bed to me and the other person had to sleep on a sofa! At least I didn't have to pay twice: that nearly happened to me with a camping site near Calne (they claimed the monies were not in their bank account!) and with a backpackers' hostel in Oradea (in Romania - same story: they claimed the payment hadn't gone through). There is a large kitchen (microwaves only) however it is very busy in the morning. Some of the bins (kitchen and toilets) didn't seem to be emptied on a daily basis. Otherwise the hostel was clean, if a bit noisy during the day, and some people in my dorm chatted (to other people in the dorm, or on their phone) until well after 10pm. It's OK for a short break, provided you don't have to get up early in the morning!

We are so sorry for any inconvenience caused on this occasion - It is very rare that 2 bookings are made at the exact same time and this occurrence takes place. We don't accept people staying out of rooms but on this occasion we didn't want to see anyone left on the Streets on a very cold winters evening when there was no alternative accommodation in Bath,

First & LAST!!
First time in a YHA! Impressed with the whole set up, the room for the night was perfectly adequate and we had our own toilet and sink! The reception staff were lovely, friendly and very helpful. However!! There was a school trip of about 20 teenagers there, the noise, screaming, banging and KICKING OF DOORS was appalling, especially at 4am in the morning!! First and LAST time in a YHA I’m afraid!

The only negative was the parking. They did say parking was available on the main road outside the hostel but on a busy Saturday unfortunately no spaces so we parked in town and got taxis. Apart from that they couldn’t have been more helpful. A great little place for friends to gather.

Excellent accommodation, perfect location.
We were attending a performance of the Messiah at Bath Abbey and needed good affordable accommodation. This YHA was the perfect choice. Our bunk-bed room in the rear block had a modern bathroom with hot shower, mattresses more comfortable than many hotels we have stayed in and it was surprisingly quiet! The location is an added bonus offering the choice of a regular bus service to and from the centre or a fabulous walk down the hill via the canal. Thoroughly recommend.

Beautiful hostel with nice rooms
The Bath hostel is in a beautiful historic building...up a very big hill. It's rather sad that one has to park on the street and walk up the hill. Perhaps they could make a few paid parking spots available? The rooms include some bigger "double" size beds, which is nice. Even though the bathrooms are basically airplane-sized, it's nice to have en suite. Nice cafe, good coffee.
