    The only issue we had was the air conditioning, which made a beeping noise every few seconds during the night — maybe we just didn’t know how to turn it off properly. Other than that, everything was perfect. Would definitely recommend!

    We had a great stay at Coalshed Hostel! The place was lovely and had such a cool, unique look — even better than we expected. We had a room for four, and my kids were absolutely over the moon. The grounded coffee in the morning was a huge win for me (it’s the only coffee I drink!), and the kids loved playing on the pool table. We were also pleasantly surprised by the honest drink bar — such a nice touch!

    For some reasons the sockets of our room didn't work so we charged our phones at the communal area.

    We were to lucky a free space for our car on the small street out of the building. Access was very easy using the codes. When we entered we felt a bit cold because the aircon was on so we turneed it off immediately. However, it gets warm in the morning so I see the point. The room and the communal areas were very clean and tidy. There were clean towels and the bathroom was equipped with toiletries. Nice touch the offered granola, coffee and tea pouches and milk. Our toddler loved the communal area play areas first thing in the morning. When we left the room we moved our car close by and enjoyed our morning in Bristol centre which is quite close.

    Nothing- it was perfect for us!

    The property was wonderful! It was a really relaxed place to stay, and absolutely perfect for our family with a 6 and 2 year old. The whole place was extremely clean, and had everything we needed, including lots of lovely touches like fresh coffee and granola. The communal space was fantastic, which lots of entertainment, and the rooms felt private even though they were off the communal space. We will definitely be returning to stay here! The area is perfect for families, with a park right on the doorstep, a pub with a beer garden right behind and plenty of lovely cafes and shops nearby. The harbour is a 10 minute walk with loads and loads to do with children. Thank you so much for having us!

    Didn't know there would be no real window (only the one facing the comunal area). But that was no big deal as there were multiple blinds you could close if you wished.

    Clean, comfortable and affordable. Easy self check-in and check-out. 20min walk to the city center. We enjoyed playing pool and table tennis.

    I only stayed one night but it was a good experience. I'm nor sure how many rooms there were but opposite the communal area there were 5. When I stayed it was quiet. There was no noise after 10pm. I got regular texts during my stay from the owners and they helped me out quite quickly with a couple of questions. The location of the warehouse is on a cul de sac and next to a skate park. There is tons of graffiti and photos come out great at night. There's graffiti everywhere in Bedminster! You're provided with a code for the front door and for your room. My room had a double and a single. It's compact living. I was surprised to see plates and bowls and a fridge. I didn't really need these but handy if staying more than one night. Good bathroom. Good beds. Good temperature control. Plenty of toilet roll. Lots of hanging space. Dimmable lights.

    A really coll and cozy place. It had everything we needed and we loved the attention to detail, for example the treats. You could tell it's a family run business by the warmth. Also, we had a (super) late arrival and the self check in process was so helpful, as were the instructions sent to us.

    The only very small con would have been the water tank on the toilet seemed to go off frequently as though it was partially flushing. It was noticeable throughout the night but I don't feel I would have noticed it as much if I wasn't already on edge about oversleeping as we had to be up so early.

    Great little place. Facilities were brilliant and most amazingly there was air-conditioning unit which is rare to see in such a small space. Could make freshly brewed coffee in the room (we didn't get a chance this occasion as up so early). Spacious for a small unit too. I loved it and will be back on my next trip to bristol! I didnt get a chance to meet anyone working/running the place but I had all the information I needed in a text to get in and get key plus, plenty of information posts around the place on how things work.

    Really wasn't comfortable with the location. As a solo female traveller arriving at night, the area looked run down and a bit threatening. The fact there were bins and a skip outside didn't help the curb appeal.

    Very comfy beds and well appointed room.

    The room is quite big but the bathroom is small. The outside of the hotel is shady. Looks like a rough neighbourhood with lots of closed stores and graffiti.

    Common area is huge with lots of amenities such as board games and pool game and a well equipped kitchen. Free cornflakes. Check in super easy. Just contact the owner on booking. Easy to reach by bus.

    Nothing at all. The only slight issue is parking. I parked in Diamond Street car park which was handy and quite cheap

    It’s just really cool. Unusual but great for that reason
