If you are looking for a cosy and friendly hostel don't go to Rock N' Bowl Hostel ! Overall I had a good stay, and the staff was nice but the hostel was just too big and not cosy enough for me! The room was okay, even though it was a bit cold and really noise during the night! The... More

I stayed here yesterday and that was fantastic. Very clean and spacious room, clean white linens, thick and soft pillows and mattress, everything is impeccable and hostel is well managed. I stayed in 12 bed dorm (#212) and showers in this side of building didn't give warm water so i've to go to the other side (but same floor), and... More

I stayed here with a few friends for a weekend. If you're looking for a quiet place this is not for you. However if you want a fun place which is really central to the nightlife of Bristol this is a good value place to be based. The place was clean and the staff helpful.

I've stayed in a few hostels and this is by far the worst. Got shown to our room and it was literally just beds, no mirrors and only plug socket was down the side of the bed, there was only 4 sockets for an 8 person dorm. Our toilets were closed between 10am-2pm ... The time when everyone wakes up.... More

There were 20 of us booked to stay at this hostel, we met at a festival and we're from all corners of the UK and Ireland. We like spending a weekend in random British cities. We like staying in Hostels. Not anymore. Given the choice between having my legs slammed repeatedly in the door of a 1992 Volvo 240 Estate,... More

When looking for somewhere to stay we chose this hostel mainly for location as it is right in the middle of town 5 min walk to Cabot for shopping and also 5 minutes to bars, clubs and restaurants! When... More

Ear plugs only worked until the music was turned up louder at 1.30am. Music until 3.30, loud drunks outside, bowling noise until 6am, people knocking our door all night = no sleep all night. Man coming into our 4 bed female dorm at 4am! Not enough showers, half out of order and others disgustingly filthy!

Great rooms, great kitchen, okay showers and common room. The only thing thats poor is the atmosphere, because there are people who stay for long periods of time, they are all in their clicky groups so it's hard to meet people. Otherwise I really enjoyed it here

Firstly let it be known that there are two Nelson Streets in Bristol, and if, like me, you don't know Bristol too well and are relying on Google maps/iPhone maps to find your way to this hotel make sure it is the right one! A friend and I spent a good half-hour walking out from the city centre to find... More
