"Of all hostels I already stayed along the last years, YHA hostels are consistently among the best, clean rooms and bathrooms in general and very good central locations. Bristol YHA is conveniently close to the harbour and a short 15 min walk from the Bristol Temple Mead station. Recommended!"

Reception staff were brisk/efficient, but very warm/courteous. Beds were made, clean and had lights/charging stations. Lots of hanger hooks in room as well as a fan (considered no A.C). Breakfast options allowed either simple continental or full cooked. Downstairs bar was cool and area is close to Harbourside..

I should probably have said Classic rather than older in the title but you shouldn’t expect this to be a brand new hotel. Excellent breakfast, great staff and a real pub downstairs. The reception is comfortable, modern and has a nice little coffee bar. Downstairs there is a proper pub and restaurant, Racks, very popular with the locals who I am not sure even realize it is part of the hotel. They have separate entrances but if you aren’t into the sound of people in the street going home from the...

Stayed 3 days in Cardiff and found this hotel a very good option. The staff was very friendly and the location s amazing. My room was spacious and clean. The mattresses could use some updating, however, and if you are a light sleeper, be aware there is a bar under the hotel which is a bit loud into the wee hours. Overall, this was a good choice and I would definitely stay here again!
