Location was perfect. Staff were friendly and helpful. Couches in lobby were very comfortable!

This is my second time staying at Bath YMCA, the first time having a room to myself with an en suite bathroom. I like how the location is so convenient to everything in central Bath. The accommodations are comfortable and the staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend it for the budget traveler, especially for long term stays. I was there for 12 days.

Low pressure shower and poor thermostat and no TV.

Although a hostel, it offers single and other private rooms, which was my case. The room was big enough with a few hangers, a chest of drawers, a lamp, an armchair and washbasin. The toilets and showers are shared in sufficient numbers for both sexes. There us a huge kitchen/canteen and a common room.on the ground floor. The staff I met were all smiling and helpful.

staff favour opinion of older customers rather than all customers. I find 1 member of staff who was english to be very nice some members of staff not english to be very rude and dismissive almost militant. ok hostel but expect aggravation

It’s a good hostel for a short stay, the showers seem to be brand new and the place is quite clean. There was a really weird smell in my dorm though (it was a mixed dorm) and some people were REALLY noisy. One of them would pace back and forth between the bunks in the morning, which was bizarre. Some had had too much to drink and others seemed quite hostile. As if other people had it easier than them… Just because people don’t complain it doesn’t mean they have a cushy life. One of my gripes about the hostel is that some of the areas (the dorms, the shower rooms, the kitchen) are closed at certain times of the day. It does make it easier for them to clean however if you forgot something in your room, or get up too late to take a shower, it’s irritating.

The guy manning the reception was lovely, very warm and enthusiastic, and good at staying on top of all the guests checking in and coming to the desk with various queries. There was only 1 other lady in my dorm and she was very quiet so I managed to grab a good night's sleep. I used the small launderette, it's very cheap (£3 if you bring your own washing powder) and it saves you a walk to the laundromat and back (not great when it's cold and damp, especially on the way back). It's only open between noon and 10pm and one of the washing machines was out of order and neither dryer are very 'hard working', I used the 'white' settings and my clothes were still slightly damp after the 40 minutes cycle. However, for the price, I can't complain. I really enjoyed being able to cook an evening meal and although some of the people staying there can be a little too chatty, they usually leave you alone when they realize you're not interesting in 'sharing' etc. I have yet to use the gym, one of my former colleagues used to go there to try and 'hook up' with women in their 30s and 40s, single, divorced, or unhappily married. He was in his 20s and married, but his wife was pregnant, so he claimed he was 'forced' to look elsewhere... I do hope there aren't too many characters like him at that gym, I don't think he was successful though, he moved on to another gym in Bath then got a job in Bristol.

Warm, cosy, on suite facilities, ideal location

Friendly helpful staff. Washrooms clean. Good canteen facilities . The only negative is there is no parking, apart from that excellent vale for the money you are payin.

Always great value for money!
