We really enjoyed our stay at YHA Bath during the Jane Austen festival. Simone went above and beyond, giving us great recommendations for local restaurants, sights to see and how to get to places. She let us store our luggage before check-in and after check-out so we could explore the surrounding area. She even took photos for us when we got dressed up for the ball!

Bath YHA is set high on a hill just outside the city centre, but is well serviced by public transport. A beautiful, calming green space with nearby walks into town with breathtaking views. The staff were friendly and helpful, our private family room suited our purpose well, and the breakfast (extra cost) was decent. Would recommend the Bath YHA as a great budget option for exploring beautiful Bath.

A room with a view

It was my first time staying at one of the YHA hostels in bath. Their service was great! They have a self catering kitchen and great food and meals daily. The rooms were very clean and it had a great view of the city. Highly recommend it. 10/10

My twin room was comfortable and clean. The shared toilet was also clean. It would have been good to have a comfy chair in the room. The steep spiral staircase to rooms 1 and 2 had to been negotiated with extreme caution. The lack off a hob in the self catering kitchen was a big negative in my view (just air fryers, one microwave, table top oven) with inadequate cooking vessels.

Great views from property and surrounds. Good staff. Overpriced food and drink at house- TV dinner quality for restaurant prices and charges for everything. But clean room, good bed, and decent spot- overpriced for a hostel but every thing is in that town. Family- multigenerational friendly

The location, while out of the main part of town, had a bus stop at the front driveway and the buses were really easy to use. Much easier than trying to drive in Bath. I didn’t have to wait long for the buses either, they seemed relatively frequent. The bed was comfortable with nice views. Mum and I stayed in seperate private rooms. Her room was quiet. I had some noisy neighbours near mine which was frustrating but to be expected when staying in a hostel. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The setting is beautiful with lovely views over Bath. The kitchen facilities were excellent. Clean and had everything we needed. Only thing that I wasn’t happy with was the laundry facilities. There was only one washing machine and dryer and they were not commercial grade… the washing machine had a ‘mixed’ cycle that was over 2 hours long. Having said that I was able to get my washing done and I was glad they had some facility for this. I would definitely stay here again.

Good value for Bath

Plus: Warm and dry, and hot water in the showers. Also met some lovely people. Cons: Some of the guests and staff are not so lovely. Some of the men were discussing their experiences with prostitutes in the kitchen (there were children in the room) and one of the guests in my dorm was trying to pick up arguments, talking very loudly, slamming doors etc. Another one was on the phone (in the dorm) until nearly 11pm. There were people drinking alcohol inside the hostel (not sure whether they bought it from the bar or not).
