Clean and functional hostel accommodation with excellent harbour side location and stylish communal areas that serve a good cuppa. We didn’t eat there but saw others enjoying toasties etc. We would stay again. Be aware parking is at additional cost in this central area.

Great place to stay in Bristol. Exceptionally positioned, with so much of the city within walking distance. The real highlight (aside from the top notch breakfast) was the staff - Tom and Leah were an object lesson in how to raise a very practical and handy place to stay into a really good experience. Leah's curry tip was especially worthwhile!

Excellent value for a sole traveller on the quayside in Bristol. Booked a 6 bed room but was given a 4 bed room. Excellent range of bars and restaurants nearby. Check out a bit early though at 10am , as Breakfast runs to 10 am also.

5th floor rooms were excellent; 4th floor showers were dreadful. There were way too many spots around the hostel that needed a key card, and they didn't give multiple cards for a multi-person room.
