Guest Reviews
- Sophie (8/5): -
- emil (10/5): - Everything, very clean and very kind staff. N/A
- Dunne (9/5): -
- Ajla (7/5): Ideal for short stays - Nice staff, the building is very interesting, and cool vibe. Super cheap lets be honest. A bit uncomfortable, shower/toilet shared between a lot of people.
- Nick (2/5): Never again - Good location Bed very uncomfortable was hard and noisy, urine on the floor in the toilet, very dark and dingy, staff had a bad attitude
- Helen (10/5): Clean spacious comfortable room in the heart of Bristol - Me and my partner needed a cheapish place to crash for a few nights and this exceeded our expectations. The room was clean, quiet, spacious with a comfy bed and a flat screen TV with Netflix. It was quiet for us as on the top floor but they provided ear plugs for the noise. Nice 10% discount on food and drinks too. We will be back! Nothing
- Pierre (7/5): - Le lieu est vraiment stylé et la chambre très confort! On est passés en semaine avec un ami donc tranquille. Mais je comprends que le weekend ce soit compliqué car simple vitrage et bar extérieur juste en dessous.
- Steve (8/5): - Comfortable beds. TV not working, a foul smell coming from drainage pipes up through the sink.
- Patricia (10/5): -
- John (10/5): -
- Maro (10/5): -
- Joanne (10/5): I'll be back... - This place is awesome!!
If your a lover of music,excellent burgers and a chilled atmosphere this is the place for you! It's a clean, comfortable and has disability access.
The staff are great, and on hand 24/7 if you need them.
The location is on spot for easy walking to the O2 and lots of shopping available within a 5 min walk.
We will definitely be back!
Thank you fullmooners, your fab!!
Peace out x There's nothing to dislike!
- Azize (1/5): -
- Krystyna (9/5): - Miły i pomocny personel. Czysto, bezpiecznie. I cicho :-) (nocowałam z wtorku na środę). Bardzo doceniam fakt, że przed przyjazdem hostel poinformował, że miejsce ze względu na pub przy hostelu bywa głośne. Otrzymałam też przed przyjazdem bardzo dokładne wskazówki jak dotrzeć do hostelu. Doskonała lokalizacja ze względu na pobliski dworzec autobusowy, z którego odjeżdżają autobusy lotniskowe. Błyskawiczny check-in i check-out.
- Lorène (10/5): - Endroit très bien situé, bel accueil, excellent rapport qualité-prix !!! Bonne ambiance assurée,
Je recommande +++
- Elżbieta (1/5): Nie szanujecie ludzi, dla was liczą się tylko pieniądze, kpina a nie hostel!!! - Lokalizacja i infrastruktura sprawdziłyby się świetnie, ale albo jako dyskoteka, albo jako hostel – NIGDY RÓWNOCZEŚNIE. Już widzę, jak właściciele tego przybytku nocują w tym hałasie, w tym koszmarze. Oni nie szanują ludzi, oni szanują tylko pieniądze. Czwartek, piątek i sobota - nieakceptowalne miejsce do spania!!! Zdecydowanie najgorsze miejsce, w jakim kiedykolwiek przyszło mi nocować. Dyskoteka z basami dudniącymi do 2:00 w nocy to absolutne zaprzeczenie bazy noclegowej dla zmęczonych turystów. To skandal, że ten obiekt funkcjonuje jednocześnie jako klub nocny i hostel. Doszło do paradoksu, w którym ludzie płacą niemałe pieniądze za "wypoczynek" w hałasie sięgającym kilkuset decybeli ze ścianami podrygującymi od basów. Gdyby w takich warunkach trzymano zwierzęta, właściciel zapłaciłby wielotysięczne kary, a organizacje prozwierzęce nagłośniłyby sprawę w mediach. W przypadku ludzi – biznes kręci się w najlepsze. Aż dziw, że odpowiednie służby jeszcze nie zamknęły tego miejsca.
- Sandy (8/5): Inexpensive decent place to stay if I'm in Briz for a music event - Clean, tidy, decent facilities, good staff, easy check in. Nothing to dislike really. I was in Briz for a gig and when i got back everyone in the dorm was in bed which was a bit of a shame as i didn't want to inconvenience anyone but needed to head out again before going to bed, but thats the downside of dorms.
- Cimenis (7/5): - Eventos en el hotel La comodidad de la cama
- Anto Vijay (7/5): -
- Anthony (1/5): - Not a lot tbh Not being told what I was supposed to do with the bedding. I've never stayed there before and won't be again. I lost my £20 deposit I had no idea about the rules,NOBODY told me!
- Matthew (6/5): Cheap and lively - Great location in stokes croft. Cheap stay per night It’s right at the back of the courtyard of the bar, I might have missed where this was explained in fairness but it meant no sleep til 2 and even though there were ‘curtains’ it felt like the privacy was slightly lacking
- Dror (6/5): -
- Marcel (4/5): Gezellig, maar zeer luid housfestival in tuin - Gezellige hostel met veel leuke schone kamers Tot 3u in de nacht een housefestival in de binnenplaats, waar geen oordop tegen helpt. Kijk goed om hun site of feesten zijn
- Hannah (9/5): -
- Kistner (9/5): - The fruendliness
- Oliver (8/5): -
- Kris (9/5): - The building was lovely, kitchen, common areas good size. Staff helpful. Mattress really uncomfortable, could feel the springs. Hot water was only warm & that took ages to come thru
- Ruiyan (8/5): 总体不错 - 前台员工很热情也很友善。并且房间以及卫生间、淋浴间里的设施都很干净,房间也很宽敞。居住体验很好 但是感觉地板太薄,我住的十人间,有人走动床都会晃。此外在入住前就已经知道楼下是酒吧,但持续到凌晨两点的鼓点声还是有些吵闹,戴上耳机可以屏蔽掉大部分音乐,但强劲的鼓点会让心脏也跟着震动。如果你有睡眠障碍,慎重选择
- Manoj (8/5): -
- anna (1/5): - the pub under neath loud noise till 4am has no sleep
- John (7/5): -
- François (7/5): - les chambres et salles de bain était assez propre. le personnel était très acceuillant. malheureusement, les portes des chambres sont très bruyantes donc la moindre entré ou sortie d'une personne provoque du bruit. l'auberge de situe au dessus d'un bar donc très bruyant.
- Gaia (7/5): -
- Emilia (9/5): -
- GEORGE (6/5): Cheap great location but don’t book if you want to sleep early - Location and cost There was notice there would be music until 2am, this was a under exaggeration the noise and base was significant but luckily by the time I got back it was over in 30 minutes
- Maria Pistokoula (9/5): -
- Amy (10/5): -
- Peter (10/5): Thank you for the great service. - The location. Nothing
- Philipp (10/5): - Perfekte Lage, kann abends durch die im EG befindliche Kneipe mit Außenbereich allerdings ein wenig lauter werden.
- Chiara (10/5): -
- Mauro (1/5): - Perfect position Paying to have a party right outside the window seems not fair, impossible to sleep.
Even the floor was shaking from the music till 4am
- Chantal (8/5): -
- Miren (9/5): Perfecta ubicación y ambiente - La ubicación, está a diez minutos del centro. La amabilidad del personal, que son súper atentos. El ambiente que tiene (si buscas un lugar tranquilo, no es tu sitio). Lo bueno de las habitaciones en comparación con el ambiente (nos alojamos en una habitación privada, no compartida). Para encontrarlo cuesta un poco, es justo cruzando el area / terraza donde se bebe (lo digo por si ayuda, aunque preguntando te lo indican la vuelo). Nada. Solo que convivimos con un chico muy ruidoso, pero eso no es culpa de nadie. Además, es verdad que la estancia era abuhardillada, quizá incómoda si eres grande y te quedas mucho tiempo.
- roberto (10/5): Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo - Lo spirito del posto Niente
- Sara (5/5): - Personal amable, bona ubicació. Tot i que ja ens van avisar que "es podia escoltar la música del pub", no esperàvem que la porta de la nostra habitació donés literalment a la terrassa del pub. Les dues nits que hi vam estar vam escoltar la música com si estiguéssim dins la discoteca fins les 2 am.
- Lara Isabel (8/5): Un sitio especial al que volverí - El personal era súper amable. Era un sitio especial, repleto de pasillos laberínticos. Muy curioso. Al ir a dormir vi que las sábanas estaban sucias, no las habían cambiado. Llamé a recepción y en minutos me trajeron ropa de cama nueva y la cambiaron. Pusieron una solución rápida y pidiendo disculpas, errores humanos puede tener cualquiera
- Jacek Radecki (5/5): -
- yeonjo (1/5): Musty - Staff was kind All covers smell musty and the locker is not enough for the visitors
- Annika (10/5): -
- Ashley (7/5): -
- Annika (10/5): Voisin yöpyä toistekin - Puhdas ja siisti. Keittiö oli myös erittäin toimiva. Siellä oli kaikki tarvittava. Huone missä yövyin oli tilava ja tavarat sai hyvin pidettyä sängyn alla. Olohuoneessa oli myös lokero minne sai laitettua arvokkaammat tavarat.
- Diop (10/5): - Love this place great vibes and great people I always come here when I need a place to crash in Bristol
- Diop (10/5): -
- Ryan (9/5): -
- Leo (9/5): -
- Dharma (10/5): -
- Huca (7/5): Aceitável - Bem localizado e com bom preço
Funcionários simpáticos
Tem um bar no piso inferior Quarto pouco arejado
Casa de banho precisa ser limpa mais vezes ao longo do dia.
- Alex (10/5): -
- Tatiana (9/5): Good place to stay - This place had amazing kitchen, comfy beds, good staff, very good location close to the bus station. Showers were good and clean. I liked that the main gate is closed at night, it felt secure. Cute patio and the bar! There were only a few minor inconvenient things: no lockers in the room (at least there were none in mine), too many doors in the hallway and every one of them made noise (but any frequent traveller in hostels knows to have earplugs), and i thought the step down into the room right by the door was a bit dangerous. But honestly, it was very minor.
- Elisa (8/5): Bones habitacions, i el personal i ubicació del apartament molt bé. - La ubicació del apartament estava molt encertada, erem aprop de tot arreu i aprop de la estació de busos de Bristol per si s'havia d'anar lluny. No és una crítica, però si vols dormir les habitacions de la planta baixa no son una bona opció. Malgrat els taps es sent la música de la festa i la porta de l'habitació dona directament al bar.
- McCrudden (8/5): -
- Nathan (7/5): -
- Adesegun (8/5): Organised and social hostel - Social vibe and how organised the place was Cloth hooks in bedrooms and bathrooms. When you take a shower, you have to hold the tap

- Calvo Peña (8/5): -
- Nyarko (10/5): My stay was brilliant and l highly recommend the full moon to anyone looking for a place to stay in Bristol - I was so surprised to have such a decent place for just £20 per night. Security, neatness, smell, staffs, were exceptional in fact l rate the full moon 10/10. Indeed the full moon is home away from home and l would love to visit again anytime l’m in Bristol. They are just superb, highly recommended In fact l love everything I saw in the property during my stay
- Giulia (10/5): -
- Kyle (8/5): -
- O'Malley (10/5): - Everyone was very kind and respectful. All facilities were at top condition and had a great night's sleep especially for not expecting to have it. Also get discounts in the bar for staying there. Just the right amount of light outside to be able to come in late and get into bed safely without disturbing others with lights. They have everything you possibly need wether you are staying one night like we did or staying for a while. Lockers provided in rooms for valuables just need a padlock for them. All round felt super safe especially for someone with high anxiety. Room was quite hot the entire time but I guess you should expect that sharing a room with multiple other people still was able to have a good sleep byt often felt like I was cooking.
- Trey (8/5): -
- Mason (10/5): -
- Birman (10/5): - The most whimsical place I have ever stayed at! Loved it all!
- Nicolò (7/5): -
- Andrés Ivan (10/5): -
- Paul (10/5): - Location outdoor seating
- Celia (8/5): Ideal para gente joven - Está bien ubicado, es ideal para gente joven porque tiene bar y por las noches hay DJ. Si quieres descansar, no es tu hostel. El personal fue muy amable. Estábamos en la habitación de arriba del todo y la verdad es que era todo un laberinto llegar an ella.
- James (8/5): Great value for money, clean, location is ideal, brilliant staff. - Good value for your money, I paid £20 approx for one night. What can you get for £20 these days. Beds are not amazing but they are comfortable enough. The rooms can be a little noisy with the odd person snoring, but ear plugs are offered free of charge and they do the job. If you find snoring a problem, pay for a single room or pay for a hotel. Snoring does not bother me so I do not have a problem. I just heard others complaining. Again, what do you want for £20. the place is cheap, clean and the staff are exceptional.
- Maria Elena (8/5): - Spacious and organised shared spaces, the bathroom and the living room. Cleaned every day all the common spaces, bathroom, shower and kitchen. Friendly staff, open 24 hours reception Mainly, people leave things dirty in the kitchen, although there are signs everywhere telling you not to.
- ALICE (8/5): Great value for money - We stayed in private room. Really good value for money. The hostel is closed to the coach station and 5 minutes to centre. Staff and atmosphere are great. The pub and outdoor area were really enjoyable.
It's noisy up to 2am due to bar downstairs which was clearly said ahead of booking and expected. After 2am, everything was really quiet.

- Always Learning (7/5): - Great kitchen.Friendly accommodating staff. Noise from below in the bar/club is always a problem in this hostel.
Don't think anything can be done about it...but to accept it.
It's always hard to sleep here, especially on Friday and Saturdays ,but besides that, it's a good hostel.
- Marlene (9/5): Auberge de jeunesse propre, bien située et personnel très accueillant - Le personnel est très gentil et arrangeant. On peut venir déposer les valises avant le Check-in, ce qui est très pratique pour visiter la ville par la suite. L’auberge de jeunesse est très propre et bien situé, 15 minutes du centre-ville environ et 30 minutes à pied de la gare Temple Meads. Il n’y a pas de casier dans les chambres pour ranger ses affaires en sécurité.
- Alessandra (6/5): Ok - Un hostel agradable y bien equipado (cocina y zonas comunes agradables, detalles como té y café soluble en las habitaciones, secador, toallas, etc). El personal es muy agradable y la ubicación es buena. El sábado por la noche el volumen de la música del pub hace imposible dormir, las habitaciones no están insonorizadas.
- Olivia (9/5): -
- Juan (10/5): -
- Jason (3/5): No sleep - Receptionist was friendly and welcoming - as was the guy on when I checked out Very noisy - not just the bar outside but also the heavy doors slamming all through the night.
Could do with bedside lights and no locker in room for bags.
- Ayla (8/5): -
- angeles (8/5): Alojamiento práctico en Bristol - Alojamiento limpio con cama confortable. Cocina bastante completa y sala de estar amplia y agradable. Cerca de la estación de autobuses y cercano al centro. Cerca también de pequeños restaurantes y comercio local. Disponibilidad de toallas a un precio muy razonable Aunque está avisado en la información, la ubicación de un PUB en el Hostel no es agradable, ya que se oye la música "superfuerte" por la noche los jueves y viernes. Tampoco me gustó que las taquillas no pueden cerrarse con llave.
- Joshua (10/5): - I like how the staff was friendly and helpful and the atmosphere of the venue The music is played until 2 in the morning you can feel the music but if you got a good pair of earphones it shouldn't be an issue
