The kitchen was gross and not consistently clean, especially the crockery and inside the microwaves. I did not feel comfortable using it at all as I felt physically sick. -One of the bathroom lights on my floor didn't work, and as there's no window, only one bathroom was properly usable by guests. At multiple points they locked the doors to the shop and hostel, primarily so that the staff can pray (they're Muslim). while i have no issue with the staff's need to pray, I do have issues with them locking the door and leaving the counter unattended in the interim. they do not let guests leave in the process either, nor use other exists. especially late afternoon when multiple guests and shop customers started congregating outside the store waiting to get in (literally an hour after i arrived at around 3pm). they need multiple staff on duty, including non-Muslims, so that they can pray without disrupting things for the guests.

Location is great, the beds are really comfy, the downstairs shop is open 24 hours so you can buy corner shop food in the night if you're hungry

The person on the bottom bed was coughing a lot, and I had one person who turned on the fan all night. I could hear the fans all night plus another one who wanted the window open. The windows were open and the sound of the cars and building workers. Kept waking me. I was unable to get sleep because of these three reasons. This was because of the people I was with in the share 12 bed room not because of the staff or hotel. It was OK.

It was OK Bed but I need a second pillow.

No lockers in room Sink in room had sick, or something in. (I mentioned this to reception but they said as it was a female only dorm they could not go and look).

Location close to Piccadilly Station Was able to leave my luggage before check in.

There was no toilets or showers in the basement, only from ground floor up. The room was quiet compact, 3 sets of bunk beds, very little room to move at all. Room was near darkness as very dull lighting & all the bed clothes are dark, so makes the room feel a little bit like a cave. Room has no mirrors. The hostel itself is located within a newsagents, just a little strange looking when first arriving. Also very overpriced, I made my booking 3 months ago, and yet it still cost £89, which to me is overpriced for 1 night, but was the cheapest booking I could find. I checked booking.com after I checked in, and the same room cost £36 for that same day.. So would I stay here again, no.

I arrived early, and reception allowed me check-in earlier if I was to change location of my room from first floor to basement due to it being ready.. I said ok as I was going out pretty soon to Oasis & knew I wouldn't be back till quiet late to be able to check in. Train station is right outside the hostel, only 2 minutes walk, with city also being close to walk within 10-15 minutes.

Unfortunately, despite great customer service and a lovely common room, the hostel room itself was a shocker. Bed sheets heavily stained, and the room smelled like a combination of severe damp and 100 people who haven't had a shower in 6 months. It's a shame.

The only thing I liked in the hostel is the friendly staff and the common room upstairs. Also, the hostel is located adjacent to Piccadilly station.

Not very clean. Rooms are located in the basement with very little space between beds. Good for very short stays but you won’t sleep amazingly

Good location

Abit outdated and could do with a revamp. Windows don't open but also don't close properly. Was fine as it's warm but wouldn't be ideal in winter. Blinds broken and couldn't close them. Wasn't an issue as I was on the second floor. Floors and walls mucky but not filthy. More like scuff marks from bags cases etc. Wasn't expecting 5 star so it didn't bother me.

Great location for what we needed. The shop below was convenient too. Beds were clean and fresh. Reception staff was lovely.

Maintenance was just really poor. No lift for guests and some of stairs damaged. In the room itself damaged walls and floor. The window only had blinds no curtains and half the blinds were broken so you could not shut out light from outside. Lot of noise from outside and no way of opening window to ventilate hot room. The shower was covered in mould and poorly maintained. Made a horrible screeching noise when using and kept randomly cutting out to a dribble. The shower door didn’t close either so the floor got flooded. None of the lights had bulbs so that’s a major issue. Really needs to be fully renovated to be worthy of 3 stars

Location was great just opposite the train station and easy walk to town and the Ethiad. Check in quick and staff friendly. Has 24hr reception and shop. Private room was quite big.

Very tired hostel, room was OK considering but could do with a bit of money spending on it... shower didn't work properly, no curtains, window didn't open, staff were OK once you got past having to give valid ID at check-in. It's a hostel so didn't expect much, but it took us to a new level of low expectation. Tis cheap for a reason so stay their knowing its a room with a bathroom at a very low price...

Location was spot on

Smell . Clean less

Worthy for one night but little smell

Stayed in March 2025

The room are not very well equipped there is not locker, no place to put my phone to sleep. There are only 2 private bathroom for all the rooms i guess? people from upper floor where coming to 1st floor to take shower here. 2 bathrooms is clearly not enough… Already in my room we were 8…. and there were 5-6 rooms on my floor. So clearly not enough. There was not bad smell in the bath room but a slightly bad smell at the entrance but nothing to bad. BREF it will not be your best stay, but probably not the worst.

I was actually scared due to the review on Booking. But it was not that bad. It was the cheapest stay in Manchester. The location is very central, I stayed only one night so it was perfect. The hostel is located up to a grocery shop. The staff was nice, thanks to this man to who i borrowed the plug adapter.
