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.

    Great location, walkable to all the attractions in central Bath. Beautiful room, perfect for a family overnight stay. Check-in was really simple, just had to ring a number to be directed to the correct key safe by the front door.
