Centrally located and just a 2-minute walk from the bus and train stations, Bath Backpackers is a community based hostel which offers budget accommodation with a homely feel. Free WiFi is accessible throughout.

Great value for money with great location (just a 5 min stroll away from Bath Spa train station). Staff are super helpful and polite. Rooms are pleasantly clean with no smell. You have to bring your sheets down when you checkout but it’s assuring to know that you get fresh bedsheets when you check in - comfortable mattress and pillows and duvets too. Toilets are clean and there are nice social spaces for everyone to hangout and make friends.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location right in the city centre. Super friendly staff and guests. I stayed in a private twin room, with a sink, wardrobe and drawers. The bed was basic but comfy, and the room was toasty warm. I felt safe as a single woman (it was my first time staying in a hostel so I hadn't been sure what to expect).

    The bunk bed was surprisingly comfortable and warm. The dormitory was clean and the toilets and showers were too. The location is just a short walk from the city centre, but far enough to be very quiet and give you somehow the feeling that you are in a country house. Wi-Fi was working correctly all through the hostel.

    Cheap and cheerful! The rooms are classic hostel style dorms with bunk beds, so you know what you're getting. The beds were clean. The location is great, right in the centre of town.

    Great location if you're visiting Bath but if you're staying more than one night, don't go cheap. No fault of the hostel's but the six bed Room # 1was noisy, people on Green Street and other hostellers arriving late. Bath room not awful but cramped. Would try the double next time if not travelling alone.

    Great location, there's a lot of restaurant and a waitrose nearby. I had good talks with one of the roommates. There are not many hostels in this area, so it's a "good" option if you're on budget.
