Lovely hostel up a hill. Getting to and from it is an adventure for the children, and me! Stayed in a nice, private ensuite family room. spacious self catering room. Doesn't have a cooker but has air fryer ovens. Pleasant atmosphere. Amazing views. I would advise taking additional pillows with you. We have now stayed at a number of YHA hostels. Always positive and good value for money. Thank you YHA Bath.

not too far away from city but you do need to do a little bit step in order to get up to here, we stay in 3-5 people private room, is little bit smelly in the bathroom, and the door handle is broken. Other than that, everything else is fine.Especially wake up to see this stunning view of Bath, the worthy part.

We stayed at this hostel with a friend for a weekend. The location is just incredible - on top of a hill, with great views. The staff was professional and very friendly, which created a pleasant atmosphere throughout the stay. The room is quite simple, but I think this is worth the price we paid. A nice bonus is the option to order breakfast or use the kitchen to prepare hot meals.

Great value for money with epic view over the city. No parking but you can drop off bags and park the car for free on the road at the bottom of the drive. Lovely staff throughout our stay. One adult travelling with two kids, ages 9 and 11, sleeping in private en suite room

We had a really fabulous stay here. Fantastic building, location, facilities and the staff were brilliant and really helpful. The self-catering kitchen was really large and had pretty much everything you could need with a lovely large eating area that can host multiple guests (The only thing it would benefit from are hobs as lack of these really limits cooking options). They kindly put our luggage in the luggage room once we'd checked out so could still explore Bath itself on our last day. The grounds and building itself are just lovely. We had a wonderful 2 x night family stay (9 and 11 year old in tow).

I really enjoyed my stay at YHA Bath. The location is peaceful and surrounded by nature, though it is a bit uphill. If you walk or hike near the hostel, you can see Bath from above, which is beautiful. The hostel was clean, comfortable, and felt safe as a solo traveller

They say that this is the most beautiful YHA in the UK, so I am here! The room is clean and not noisy at all. All the guys that work here are friendly and helpful. The hostel is truly nice with the view.

Great place to stay in a very pretty and quiet neighborhood next to the beautiful landscapes surrounding Bath. We stayed in the dormitories, that were very clean, just as the common spaces. We were welcomed by extremely kind and helpful receptionists.
