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

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.

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.

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.

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
