I was welcomed by biting insects in the 'lounge' and staff with little understanding of the English language. The room consisted of a bed, broken table, broken tv and filthy bathroom covered in limescale and scum. No bin. Skirting boards hanging off. Bars on the windowd and dirtyness made it feel like a prison. I have stayed in better hotels... More

It provide very cheap hostel and the service still okay. However, the facilities there were terrible. There is no WiFi when you stay downstairs inside the room. The computers there can't access internet as well. The bathroom was bad and we need to rent for a towel. OMG. They didn't even provide a map of Manchester when I asked for... More

We stayed here for one night in November 2012 for my hen do - 17 girls split across 2 rooms. Honestly... I think you get what you pay for! It was pleasant enough,and the location is great - 5 mins from The Printworks so no taxi funds required. We were in the basement which was a bit bleak - no... More

This hostel is fine for the price, the room is nothing special, but the location totally makes up for it. It was only 5 minutes walk from Victoria Train Station and the Arndale centre. The reception is 24 hours so it is a good choice if you are out partying. I wouldn't recommend it if you are older, and looking... More

The hostel is located less than 5 minutes walk to the city centre and Victoria Station.15 minutes walk from Coach station. Apart from the excellent location, walls are so thin. While we were chating at night, we were whispering in order not to disturb other guests who were staying at the next room. The rooms are a little big small.... More

I stayed here on the week end and paid £15 for a 6 bed dorm. I booked through hostel bookers and paid £1.50 to them and was to pay £13.50 to them. Upon arriving they had told me I had paid. The debited my card without my authorisation! The hostel had a run down feeling to it and the walls... More

I accept I went during the Christmas time, but I still expected better facilities at this place. Staff were friendly, but other facilities like Kitchen (no tea, coffee making facilities), Giant TV without much available. The most impressive thing I found was the showers fitted with numerous Jets and Radio.

Thought 8 friends sharing a room for only 1 night would be ok so didn't expect much. Expected a reasonably sized room and got a shoe box. 4 bunk beds squeezed into a tiny room where the 1 window couldn't be opened - no in case of fire notices anywhere - doubt if 8 people in such a tiny space...

I've stayed at a bunch of hostels, and I'm not that picky as long as a place is generally clean. But this hostel was terrible. There was no trash can in our room, the toilet didn't flush, and the lights blew out. On top of that we'd paid for a private room with a bathroom. The bathroom door didn't lock... More
