This was a nice place to stay and the staff was very accommodating especially when I lost my key card but it's a dorm at the end of the day and you're sleeping in the same room with a bunch of other guys. Facilities were well maintained and the falling of breakfast was pretty tasty but an extra cost

Sewage
Poop smell. I thought the 1st time we stayed here they just needed to empty the sewage, it was worse this time; sewage smell gets worse after people shower. It’s disgusting. But in the rooms and the grounds are great

Honest detailed review. Great stay
Absolutely great stay and stunning location. We traveled as a group of friends and booked the private room. All the facilities and and service staff was just wonderful and welcoming. I would say the private rooms could be a little bigger in size but that's not a problem. Everything was clean and beautifully maintained. The priory itself was beautiful in and around the grouds. The kitchen and self catering area was great, spacious and well equipped with all utensils cutlery and multiple ovens. There is no induction or stove if anybody needs that detail. We were able to cook a lot of things in the ovens and kitchen space. Walk to the hostel from bath city centre is very scenic but it is quite uphill so i would not recommend walking with bags. Over all a great stay and highly recommended.

Issues with the check in.
I had an issue when checking in as the bed had been 'double booked' by 2 different platforms (hotels.com and expedia.com). I arrived before the other person but it took just over 1 hour for the staff to force the system to allocate the bed to me and the other person had to sleep on a sofa! At least I didn't have to pay twice: that nearly happened to me with a camping site near Calne (they claimed the monies were not in their bank account!) and with a backpackers' hostel in Oradea (in Romania - same story: they claimed the payment hadn't gone through). There is a large kitchen (microwaves only) however it is very busy in the morning. Some of the bins (kitchen and toilets) didn't seem to be emptied on a daily basis. Otherwise the hostel was clean, if a bit noisy during the day, and some people in my dorm chatted (to other people in the dorm, or on their phone) until well after 10pm. It's OK for a short break, provided you don't have to get up early in the morning!
