Those planning budget travel to Bath on their trip to UK will find that they have to do some research to find decent budget accommodation in this west country tourist magnet. In the summer months, those traveling alone will find the best prices on university dorms through sites like Beds at Bath. Prices for these dorms start at 21 pounds per night, or 50 pounds for rooms with en suite bath. Bath Backpackers is a site where local hostels can be booked from 15 pounds per night.
The central location is convenient, but travelers should expect that for the price the dorms can be a bit cramped and lacking in modern comforts. Perhaps one of the cheapest options in the city the the Bath YHA, where dorms start at 10 pounds per night. The building itself is a lovely, historic mansion but sadly it hasn't been kept up very well, and it's location is rather far from the city center.
