YHA Bath

friendly roomate and staff,even if far from center,the facilities is good

Very nice will come back againnnn!!!!

The hostel has an excellent location down hill into Bath. The bunk beds are very comfortable and the shower facilities good. Breakfast is excellent and well presented. Facilities to make own meals also available. New International friendships also made.

Can't recommend this YHA enough. 20 minutes walk from the centre of Bath although it's a steep hill to walk back. However there are regular buses to and from the centre which are virtually at the end of the YHA driveway. The parking is limited on Bathwick Hill but it's free and we were lucky enough to find a spot on arrival. The staff go above and beyond to help where they can. Simone was brilliant with local information and Matthew was exceedingly helpful in sorting out some food for my gluten free diet. The self catering facilities are good as are the bar and lounge areas. We only stayed in the main building so I can't comment on the new annexe but it does look very smart in lovely surroundings.

I loved my one night stay. I had a private room with ensuite for £35 - wherelse in Bath would that happen?! (I was upgraded from a 2 bed private ensuite to a 6 bed which was also nice). The view from my room was fabulous - the whole of Bath and surrounding hills. I didn't miss TV or wifi (not available in rooms) - I sat and looked at the view all night. The main, original building is amazing - the YHA have some incredible places. Breakfast was fine (although the water for the tea was tepid by 8 o'clock but the coffee was okay). I was in the new part and was concerned if I'd be warm enough (it was due to be -6 that night), but if anything I was too hot! In fact I was a bit concerned that the YHA must be wasting loads of money on heating - I guess some visitors moan if they feel a teeny bit cold? Only moan was the amount of litter on the drive up to the building - entirely the fault of guests - awful!! Top tip - make sure that you walk down into the city via the path alongside the fields and canal - breathtaking, especially with frost over everything.

Nice building. It is a steep climb from the main road if you are walking. There is no car park facilities. Plenty of off street parking both on Bathwick Hill Road and North Road. Seemed quite safe. If you are on the second floor in the new building and have dust allergy.. run.. Self catering kitchen do not have any hot plates. But there is microwaves and work top ovens. Reception staff was very knowledgeable and obliging. We did enjoy our stay.
