10/10 Exceptional

The fact the rock n bowl motel is very close to the strip of shops at Cabot circus, as well as a few bars only a couple minutes walk away was very convenient. There was plenty to do in the bar to start the night off and it was perfect for our lads weekend. The only issue we had was the cold showers. Only one shower in the block was warm, but besides that it’s exactly what you see on the pictures
James, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hostel, great location, (too) old building.

This is what we expect from a hostel. The location is amazing. The man at the reception was lovely and very helpful with everything. The bed stuff was very clean but the bedroom floor smelled like pee, the showers and sinks were not that clean either.

VERY LOUD MUSIC AT NIGHT

Good everything except the unbelievably loud music from 2 floors down. Loud, terrible and horrible music being played from 9pm-12am straight. No good if you want to sleep or be in the room at all in these times. Other than that, it's good. But for the loud music, which makes the room vibrate too, I won't come back.

It was good, but....

I had stayed in this hostel such well, there looks using for apanish people. most people stayed there who from spain somewhere. I recommend you, if you like do crazy party every night. I'm not a big fan noisy on the inside. "too noisy" somepeople smoking at the bethroom. but i guarantee nice staffs yeah, there is no locker, if you need get some protect stuff, you should ask the staffs

Good. I will be going again. Good value for money, as long as you are ok sharing a room with total strangers. Front desk guys are superb.

Very loud in the night since there is a disco pub just downstairs. Beds were smelling.

What you pay for

Main positives about this hostel are the location and price. It's staffed by a single person late at night and check-in took really long because he was dealing with another issue. It was perfectly serviceable for one night's stay while travelling light.

2/10 Poor

Disgusting. It was like a refuge camp. Waste of money and I couldn’t even get a refund
1-night trip

6/10 Good

It's a good position and very good price with also a surprising basic breakfast too. The building is old, not so clean and with the minimum items available, but with such an accessible price it's perfect if you go there for a night. Unfortunately on a Wednesday night it was very loud from outside, with people drinking and shouting after midnight.

6/10 Good

I think for the price it was a very good deal. Don't expect 5 star conditions in a motel in the city centre for less than £20
Matthew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Relaxed, clean, good showers and breakfast was a bonus. Staff polite and helpful. Great for the price and centre of town.

2/10 Poor

Impossible to sleep

Loud music and really strong vibration until 2-3 am. Not possible to sleep at all. No toilet paper
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location for the city. Clean comfortable room. Staff were really friendly. Great value with breakfast included. The basin area needs somewhere to hang towel, clothing etc; as did the room. Being on a top bunk there was nowhere to put my belongings. Lockers would be useful.
Ginette, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great value for money and

As per other reviews, it was a little noisy Saturday night, as some of the rooms look into the club's courtyard. This was my first stay in a hostel and I was genuinely surprised with how good it was. Very comfortable bed and bedding, the facilities were good and it was very clean all round. I've stayed in worse hotels for a lot more money, will definitely stay here again, but not in a Saturday.

Great location but awful sleep

Big kitchen/dining area. Staff are nice. Location very close to city centre. Bathroom (male) facilities not maintained. No fan/air con in rooms and nights were stuffy and hot in the 12 bed dorms even with windows open. Just felt very uncomfortable as a place to stay.
Mr, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Très chouette!

TB prise en charge, souplesse et attention envers le client, bonne ambiance et bon petit déj. Beaucoup de salles très symaps!TB rapport qualité prix. Seul bémol notable, le bruit passé minuit (musique et cris), qui peut gêner plus d'une personne pour dormir: plus d'insonorisation serait peut-être à prévoir...

4/10 Fair

Dont stay if it is Friday night.

Service was good and simple.breakfast was available from 0700. Unfortunately there was a nightclub downstairs and the whole building vibrate and noisy until.2 or 3 am. Would not recommend if you are staying friday night.

6/10 Good

cheap bed fore the night.

You get what you pay for. Beds were comfortable and clean. Good showers and cooking facilities. Great bar and surrounding area had lots to do.
