On arrival, I wished I had requested to see the private room before agreeing to take it. The mattress & pillow cases had no protection. The newspaper stuffed into the hole in the window frame added a certain 'Je ne sais qua'. The table had the remnants of the previous, or previous previous occupiers. The metal springs were pushing through... More

We stayed for two nights, which were nightmarish. Kitchen has maybe never seen a cleaning. Mattresses were nearly not usable for sleeping. And most awful: the hygienc standards of the beds were miserable. Obviously, many guests do not like to use the provided linen, so everything is in a bed condition, we even got bed bugs. NEVER MORE!

There seem to be a lot of negative reviews for this hostel and I am not sure why. I have stayed here 4 or 5 times and have never had any problems. The place is excellent value. Maybe the other reviewers thought they were booking a hotel, not a hostel. It is true that there can be loud music from... More

The place was empty that should have been a sign, but we had a roast dinner each which was vile. I feel robbed! They had the cheek to charge £8.95 for the unusually cooked chicken, | say unusual as it was able to be dry and pink (raw looking) at the same time. The beef was very tough and tasted... More

This is in a great location and has parking, don't think you could beat this on price. I went with my mates for a night out and this was an ideal place to stay. I don't normally stay in hostels but we opted for this option as it was cheap and central. My main issues related to the beds which... More

place was good, mattress quiet hards but it was fine. The area is apperantly said to be in a dodgy area of Bristol, however we liked it cause there are a couple of very good clubs in the same road. From a negative side, the car which we parked in the hostel's parking area was scratched with a key while... More

The hostel is located close to the city centre, major shopping areas and main bus terminus. The hostel compares to your average backpacker hostel in terms of amenities and quality. I was impressed by their desire to be as environmentally friendly as possible (which fits in with Bristol's alleged 'green' image). However there were problems. The shower block had four... More

I've stayed in the full moon backpacker for couple of nights with my friend. I've read the other reviews and was a bit scared to come here but as it was weekend and everywhere else was fully booked we managed to book the last two beds in this hostel. For me the hostel was nice suprise. I travel a lot... More

I stayed at the Full Moon Backpackers for one night in late July. Check-in went smoothly, they double checked my reservation and that I had pre-paid, and took my ID and did the finger-printing things. The guy behind the counter was professional enough (however, he did spend a lot of time socializing with his visiting friends other than working). Because... More
