An eco-friendly Backpackers Hostel situated in the very heart of Bristol’s famous cultural district of Stokes Croft, our shared and private rooms provide accommodation for tourists and travellers visiting alone or as part of a small group, within a minute’s walk from the City Centre.
PLEASE NOTE: We are currently NOT accepting group bookings of over 5 people. There are other hostels in the area who will be more than happy to accommodate you 🙂 We’re focusing on making the space ideal for international backpackers here.
Our lively hostel is ideal anyone looking to explore our much-loved, diverse and culturally wealthy city. Guests have free access to our busy bar and occasional live music venue in our large courtyard. If you’re looking for a good time in Bristol’s artistic and vibrant haven this is the perfect hostel for you!
A few years ago we underwent a hugely exciting project, calling on artists from Bristol and all over the world to decorate the hostel’s rooms, each bringing an entirely unique theme and style. In line with Bristol’s rich artistic and cultural scene, you’ll find some fantastic artwork on display here whichever room you end up in!
Our guests will have access to the communal kitchen and common room. We have DJ’s playing on Thursday evenings, and live music events on weekends. Please note on these nights we have loud music until 2am!
Please note, due to our licensed bar on site, we DO NOT accept guests aged under 18.
We strictly do not accept groups of more than 5 people. There are some great hostels in the city who will be much more suited to accommodating you. Feel free to contact us for some recommendations.
GUESTS MUST HAVE VALID I.D (Passport or driver’s license)
GUESTS WILL EACH BE ASKED FOR A £20 REFUNDABLE SECURITY DEPOSIT AT CHECK-IN WHICH MUST BE PAID BY CARD. This covers any damages, excess mess, late check outs or anything which threatens the well-being of guests and staff at the hostel. If any of these occur we do not refund deposits and we have the right to fine a higher amount in extreme cases. Deposits for each booking must be paid in one completely payment (i.e. not individually per guest.)
We have a 24/7 reception desk for check in, so guests can check in anytime throughout the night after the check in opens at 15:00, our desk is always open 🙂
These requirements are to ensure not only the security and comfort of our guests, but to maintain the exciting atmosphere and friendly environment which are hostel is proud to offer. There will be no refund for bookings which fail to meet these requirements on arrival.
WE REQUIRE FULL PAYMENT TO HOLD & CONFIRM YOUR RESERVATION – ANY BOOKINGS MADE WITH INSUFFICIENT FUNDS WILL BE CANCELLED IMMEDIATELY.
We have a 48 hour cancellation policy, which means we offer a full refund to bookings cancelled prior to 48 hours before their stay. The cancellation for large group bookings is 28 days.
During our peak summers months June- September we don’t accept groups over 6 people. Please contact us directly if you wish to make a group booking and different terms and conditions apply.
Finally, just a reminder that our hostel is above our bar. Thursdays we have loud music until 1am (sometimes 2am), and on Fridays & Saturdays until 2am – this will be heard in the hostel! We strongly recommend you join in with the fun downstairs.
