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.

If I could rate this hostel higher than 10, I would. This is an exceptionally nice hostel. The two ladies at the front desk are so nice, I can't thank them enough for the extra help they gave me. Many blessing to them. They have a big kitchen, and the dinning room is big and happy. When I visit Bath again, I will stay at this hostel again if they have vacancy.

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.

    Safety and good facilities. This is excellent value for money and within walking distance from the bus station. Can recommend this hostel for female solo travelers.

    Beautiful apartment with quality fixtures and fittings. Spotlessly clean and with everything you could possibly need for a short break. Great location (but at the top of a rather steep hill), safe and with private parking.

    It was clean, light, airy, and in a great location for a short walk into town. The parking space was a big plus, and the key safe entry system worked well.

    Great location to Bath city Centre yet situated in a quiet area.Beautiful decor,good size room with a very comfortable bed.I was able to leave my bags safely with staff prior to checking in and checking out allowing me to maximise my short stay.Most of the ‘ must see’ attractions were a short walking distance from my accommodation.Staff were kind. I would definitely stay at Henrietta House next time in Bath.

    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.
