History

The hostel is a former tea warehouse and is named after Mr and Mrs Hayman, tireless workers for the local YHA group, though it is informally called the Grain House! The hostel had a stylish renovation to its social areas in 2015 and is a fab staple of the waterfront.

Meet the team

Manager recommends: Have a freshly cooked pizza and a drink in our relaxing Grain House bar or sit on the harbour side and watch the world go by - the perfect wind-down after visiting all the amazing attractions Bristol has to offer on your city break. Or combine a competitive spirit with a sense of fun, add a couple of pints of continental beer and you’ve the recipe for a fantastic evening at Kongs of King Street, a laid back bar full of retro arcade games, ping pong and more.
