Bath YHA

Bath


Split across an Italianate mansion and modern annexes, this impressive hostel is a steep climb (or a short hop on bus U1) from the city. The listed building means the rooms are huge, and some have period features such as cornicing and bay windows.

A revamped reception, cafe-bar and new all–en suite wing opened in April 2018.
