The Bristol Wing is in the lovingly restored historic old police headquarters. The site dates back to the 13th Century and has a rich history – it has been home to a prison, the Chief Constable, a circus troupe, a group of artists and, throughout lockdown, the street homeless. We have now restored and refreshed our Wing and it is once again a commercial hostel. We have a mix of private, en-suite and dorm rooms with great communal spaces on the ground floor with complimentary tea and coffee available. Our ethical and environmental credentials are second to none. We have a newly refurbed building designed to minimise our negative impact on the world (solar panels, high levels of insulation, double glazed windows etc). The Bristol Wing is owned and managed by YMCA Brunel Group and any profits made are re-invested in supporting young people at risk in our communities. YMCA Brunel Group works with young people through supported housing, youth work, childcare, and health and wellbeing.
