Amazing amazing so so good! Wow, it was a relatively last minute booking for the bank holiday and it did not disappoint! I kind of arrived expecting nothing but instead got everything I wanted and more ! We’ve interacted with 4-5 different staff members - all absolutely lovely, kind and so so friendly. Free breakfast on both weekend days was a lovely bonus too. The room was spotless, we had a lovely view of a church and blooming trees out of our window. Toilet/shower - always clean. We were worried as it’s quite central that it might be quite noisy since it’s the weekend but the hostel is actually quite tucked away so we slept like babies and didn’t hear a sound. We also were able to keep our luggage with the YMCA for a few hours before our train, once again very kind of them. 10/10 experience, thank you !

Honestly can’t think of anything at the moment !

You can easily walk to all Bath tourist places & shopping area and ten minute walk to Train/Bus station, close to large supermarket. Located in quiet courtyard. Staff are all friendly & helpful. Everything was fine, happy to stay again as area is not cheap.I used the laundry which was good value, didnt use the onsite discounted gym. Liked the fact they left out enough items so you could make your own food any time - toaster, hobs, airfryer, microwave, kettle & fridge storage but no oven as can't usually afford to eat out. Theres no lift but was glad as on the first floor out of three. I did like the large room with the tv, think they use it for meetings.

Even after waiting 3 min like being told getting hot water in shower can be an issue. I also know surrounding venues can have loud music at times sometimes in the day but mostly evening but not too late at night, I just tried to move away from it. Could do with a mini oven

Everything was really good. Facilities were clean. I was very surprised that for the price which I paid I got free breakfast as well. Also there is a kitchen in there with all of the equipment (microwave, toasters, waffle maker, cooker etc as well as pots, pans, cutlery). That was the best option for us so we could cook and eat whatever we wanted. The biggest problem was the internet. It constantly was off. It was ok for basic things but for people who would work there it wasn’t good at all. After all, definitely recommended to visit. Perfect location, lots of shops around

The Ymca was an inviting friendly place. Welcomed straight away by Chris and akosh. They were very accommodating, happy, friendly and couldn't do enough to ensure people. Enjoyed their stay, with extra pillows if needed and blankets/quilts. The free breakfast in a morning was lovely and had everything there we could help ourselves to and fill our bellies up ready for the day ahead. I did have an issue with 1 member of staff who told my daughter and I to put extra layers on at bedtime as it was freezing in our room and the radiator didn't work. I did report this to Chris and akosh who were mortified and apologised profusely.

The attitude of 1 member of staff telling us they were full so couldn't have extra pillows and who told us to put extra layers on when our room was freezing cold. On the 2nd night I spoke to akosh who went straight away and found us an extra quilt each but couldn't find extra pillows (but at least he looked and tried for us). They could do with brand new pillows or them. Given a wash as a few had stains on them.

Location was great! Figured out after the first day that while one side has many (25?) steps to get to the hostel, walk around a street and get in from the opposite side which has only 2-3 steps ;) Staff was really kind and on both occasions helped me with issues with the room and getting my suitcase upstairs. You will find a communal kitchen with a kettle and the possibility to do laundry.

My first stay had an issue with the system: I was put into a mixed dorm even though I specifically booked a female only dorm. It was chaos at the front desk at this time (Friday) since at least another person had issues with their booking. The guy that was working let me sit down whilst he tried to sort it for me. It took a while but he stayed calm and kind. In the end he got me into one of their spare rooms. The door handle of that one was falling off, the reading light did not work and the socket was a bit unhandy/out of reach from the bed but I was very thankful to have a decent room.

When I get a private room in a sought-after location for a Saturday night under £50, I always except some concession on quality and comfort. None of this applied here. My room was in a quiet location, ensuring an excellent night's sleep. It was also spacious and the bed comfortable. Reception staff were super helpful from start to finish too. While I didn't use the kitchen facilities, they look ideal for anyone on a budget. Highly recommend this to anyone coming to Bath for an evening show at the Theatre Royal.

Nothing I can think of.

International vibe; helpful and polite staff; faculty to take food into eat; water machine; central location

It’s a shame to write negatives because our stay was very enjoyable. These are comments I hope will improve the experience. We were in room 126 and the ladies facilities had a wet floor always; the shower head was not fitted proper in one of cables; the shower was left running… small notice to say turn off taps; toilet seats were loose… and then at breakfast… the toasters did not work well which led to people waiting a lot… better quality toasters or checked regularly; washing up facilities… sink not big enough& drying board too small; not sure it’s worth the mess of wet floor… long queue. Good idea to get everyone involved in clearing up; but trays on trolleys work well with someone washing out the back…

the girls bathroom on the third floor only had toilet paper in one toilet and on Sunday morning had no toilet paper. Breakfast BBCwas great. Room was clean, reception staff Saturday were brilliant. Advising that thee was tea/coffee and biscuits and telling us times for breakfast be and info about what was going on like a tourist information service. It gas c a really lovely vibe and was very welcoming with a truly international clientele and catering for a wide demographic from travellers to local homeless who wanted a bed for the night and everyone was treated with respect and courtesy. The reception staff were excellent.(Two men) it was clean and basic. Breakfast was very good with a wide selection of jam and cereal options and the self serve/ clear/wash your stuff worked well in the main but some nationalities left heir stuff on the tables for the invisibkecwaiting staff to remove and wash. Maybe a note on the door and by the kettle/toaster

Shared girls bathroom on third floor only had toilet paper in one toilet on Saturday and no toilet paper at all Sunday after breakfast. I took some from the open cleaners cupboard on Sunday but it was very busy. The shower water doesn’t drain so Saturday evening before the theatre Cx abd Sunday morning there was a lot of sitting water and you needed crocs or flip flops. I hadn’t realised you didn’t get a towel! However, these are due to the fact it was incredibly busy and the bathroom scenario was due to being here Cx at peak times. Shower wait on Sunday am was at least an hour.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff, with storing out bikes and with tips of what to do. He even gave us ear plugs when he heard us joking about our snoring! Clean room and good reasonable choice for 4 people to get a cheap room together without sharing with strangers.

The shower rooms had water everywhere and made the floor extremely slippery. There was no soap in the bathroom or showers. A very bad smell in the corridor leading to the room. Breakfast was messy, extremely busy and lacking some basics.

The building and Courtyard are very nice. It is a community center and it serves people from all walks of life. The lounge and TV area are very comfortable The kitchen and dining area are serviceable. I did not expect this to be a luxurious stay. I expected it to be exactly what it was a functional Affordable option. The staff were professional, and very helpful. You need to pay attention to the directions because if you come up on the Broad Street side, you go up a few steps past another building and into the courtyard so you don’t enter off the address on the street. If you go around the other side where it says why you end up going up to very steep flights of steps. Just be aware .

I wish the beds had a little bit more padding or cushion. However, I understand that they are conserving resources and they do a lot of good for people in the community and people with urgent needs so I’m not really complaining. Be aware that there is no lift . But putting lifts in is very expensive. I felt really good about my stay because it was exactly what it was supposed to be and it’s contributing to the community.
