Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    I loved this quirky place, the rooms were big, everywhere was clean and the beds were super comfortable. I was a bit wary about my stay as I'd previously had somewhere else booked that was almost double the price, my budget forced me to move somewhere cheaper but I was very pleasantly surprised that I certainly hadn't downgraded - I'd probably given myself an upgrade. I'd more than happily stay here again.

    Staff were very friendly and the location of this youth hostel in the centre of Bristol, next to the marina and the aquarium, is great! The 5 person room was good and the bunk beds were of a decent quality. The bathroom facilities in the corridor were clean. There was a restaurant, a bar and shared kitchen facilities, which had all the equipment, cutlery and crockery that you might need.
