Convenient and comfortable
A good value overnight stay in central Manchester for a gig.
It was amazing! Comfy cosy beds, with curtains that fully block out the light. As per some reviews saying the music from downstris / outside was loud I brought headphones which did massively help!! (Eventhough it was was Tuesday night lol) friendly staff easy location. Locker in bed area, and belongings felt safe! Recommend
Went there for 3 nights with my girlfriend for the Oasis concert. We had low expectations since they offered a room for such a good price. However when we get the keycard for our room we got surprised. A big comfortable size bed, a clean bathroom and an AC, all we could ask for really. For this price and such a good location in the city, you can not ask for more! Really helpful staff with 24/7 service! Highly recommending, and I will come back!

Disliked: Staff & service
The hostel phoned me from a foreign number over WhatsApp to cancel the booking just three days before the stay. Mindful of scams, I tried to find the property's contact details but they are not even listed on Google Maps. Nobody replied when I phoned using the number listed by Expedia. The hostel offered no compensation and made no attempt to help me find alternatives. It then took four attempts over the course of one week to organise a refund via Expedia. A really poor experience all round.

No where does it state this place is above a live music venue. When youre in the room. You are bascully in the live music venue itself. The floor and furniture vibrate and you can hear everything
First time booking a 'hostel'. Pleasantly surprised with accommodation. Great vibrant area of Manchester to be in, with loads of restaurants, pubs, cafes etc.
Expected more internal late night noise, but didn't happen. Only negative was loud music immediately underneath us until 230am on Friday & Saturday night of stay. Reception staff were friendly and attentive.
All in all - and unexpected good experience!
Good location that you could fulfil eating and shopping. Tram stop can be accessed at around 7 minutes walk. Staff is nice and friendly. The room seems not really well maintained as it looks a bit old and no usb charging port in the room is so inconvenient. Besides, it is quite noisy outside at night even staying on the 2nd floor.
For the price, cannot complain. Its a hostel so you will be sharing with others, sometime pleasant, sometimes not. So dont expect 3-5 star service/ cleanliness.
I was satisfied with my stay, it fit the purpose.
