I've stayed in many hostels over the years. This was clean and conveniently located. The front desk staff was helpful.

Since we had a rental car, we found it especially convenient to a nearby parking lot (across the street).

My husband and I would stay there again if we couldn't afford a hotel.

I was a little worried about staying in a hostel for the first time but after my experience at the YMCA I would definately stay here again. great price for the area, walking distance to bus station, roman baths, abby, everything... AND I was able to do some laundry there! :) The bathrooms and rooms were clean but don't expect anything fancy. Awesome for budget travelers.

Stayed only 1 night in a single room, fairly quiet. Room was quite large, plain, clean, large window. Shared bath was clean, experienced no waiting. About a 10-15 minute walk from station, tucked back behind some buildings, not too difficult to find; located about equidistant from Crescent (and nearby sights) and Abbey/Baths, which is a plus. Marginal breakfast, but can pay for extras.

We stayed at the Bath YMCA for two nights in a private room for only 32 pounds a night. An unbelievable price for a private room for two in England. The room was definitely simple, with two twin beds, a closet, and a sink. There was plenty of room for us and our luggage, and everything was clean. Bathrooms were down the hall - clean enough but I was surprised that they were co-ed. All showers and toilets were within stalls and there was rarely anyone in there, but it was still just a little disconcerting. The laundry facilities were very convenient and the continental breakfast that is included with the room was quite generous and filling. The location is great and there is a lovely Waitrose grocery store just a couple of blocks away. Staff are extremely helpful and the international clientele makes for interesting people watching. Not a party hostel, more of an inexpensive almost hotel. I would definitely stay there again and I would recommend this to anyone - couples, singles, families - who are looking for an affordable place to stay in Bath.
