Pros: I don't think I have stayed in a hostel as nice as this. I have stayed in hotels that aren't as nice as YHA Bath. The grounds that this place is situated is almost idyllic. The staff were wonderful and always happy to help and give you information. There were some new staff members there that are just going to be more awesome in the future. The breakfasts were reasonably priced and you got a lot for your money. The 4 bed dorm had so much space and the beds were clean and comfortable.

Pros: Stunning modern youth hostel, v clean & modern, v friendly and helpful staff - only downsides were the cooking facilities weren't as good as usual in a YHA; no hobs and v slow ovens, and we could hear our upstairs neighbours through the floor of the modern block behind the main building. Also, the fact that there is no parking on site is somewhat inconvenient

Cons: There was nothing. Well, apart from that hill to reach it from the centre :) But hey, small price to pay. We have legs :)

7.9 Good
Pros: The rooms are clean and overall very comfortable for a hostel.
Cons: There is nowhere to park near the hostel and the walk from the road up their driveway is a pitch black country lane. I had my young son with me coming back to the hostel late one night and could see someone hanging around in the lane. I asked the reception for assistance but they declined. The next morning their attitude was it's not our problem! It would have only taken them a moment, not very helpful and I guess only works if you are in a group - not for me again.

Cons: Cramped bathrooms, and a prison-like feeling in 12 bed dorms, but one gets what one pays for, and so the value for the money works out.

Pros: Convenient location for city centre
Cons: Make sure you book direct and not through booking.com if you want to take advantage of the free breakfast. Dorm rooms crowded and the “chill out” room felt like a crack den - not relaxing to spend time in!

Pros: The Room - without any facilities is quiet and safe - and the Bus Link (route 18 + U18) from outside the central bus station is well serviced.
Cons: I did Not really enjoy my stay at the University - On arrival - I could not find the Check In Reception area in the dark - so had to walk a lot within the Campus to find it - I stayed in Marlborough Court, there was No Tea / Coffee facilities available in room or anywhere within the accommodation block - and No TV in the room - nor Radio either !! For Breakfast - it is available in the Sports Village Gym building - but as I experienced, one morning the Chef was not available - and on morning 2, a large queue had formed that would have kept me waiting for 40 minutes standing just to get a cuppa or something to eat. I ate in central Bath at the Royal Hotel outside the railway station - and would recommend that Hotel to stay and eat in instead. Not Forgetting - I stayed at a University Campus and Not a Hotel.
