Rock & Bowl Motel

Situated in the same building as The Lanes, very central, around a 5 min walk from Cabot. We had a private dorm, 4 bunk beds and an en suit. Facilities were clean and beds were comfy enough however there were no curtains/ blinds. Doors had electronic locks, so felt safe to leave our stuff, however the fire door was broken so people could enter our corridor. Convenient for a one night stay, especially if out late.

both the front desk AND the bar staff are absolutely delicious. Have a feeling they love having a bit too much fun haha! Service was so good room was safe and sound, and the beers…phenomenal. Would recommend to those travelling

Very bad experience staying here. Bunk beds were super tight, noisy bar downstairs. Dirty rooms no one ever came to clean. Location near the bus station was the only redeeming factor.

The DIRTIEST hostel l've ever stayed in. Millions of flies in the kitchen. Food everywhere, no clean surface, with gross microwave and dirty utensils. Chicken bones all over the floor. Rude messages from staff on the sink towards who we hope are long term stayers. Vile carpet in rooms. VERY Load music and shouting heard up in rooms, which is said in descriptions but massively underplayed. I could hear it over my headphones. The bedding was clean and beds were play so we just slept and left.

I think this hostel is a little underrated, perhaps staying in low season helped. The beds are comfy, and rooms are huge, and in low season there was only 4 of us which made it more pleasant. The kitchen is fully functioning. They could do with a revamp of the common area/kitchen but then again, you get what you pay for. Staff are decent and central location. 4/5

A perfectly located hostel right in the city centre! The staff are friendly and do their best to assist you. Judith walked the extra mile by offering to upgrading me to a better room for just a few more quids ££ on arrival. All your required amenities are on site - washing machine, dryer, kitchen with cooking ustensiles (storage available for your food and even fridges), comfy lounge with working stations for laptops. A bit pricey maybe but then I understand they must be hammered with the cost of their utility bills. All in one a solid hostel for short or longer stays that gives you all the amenities required to live in Bristol. The staff are defo to thank for their friendliness and helpfulness. 👍🏻🙏🏻

It does what it says on the tin. There are no horror stories and it served the purpose it needed to. I had a private 8 bed dorm.
