Disliked: Staff & service
This property is quite well located, close to the train station and with walkable distance from the city centre and the main pier area. I didn’t like though to be told by a lady from the night staff that I could not stay in the main are bar to eat my own food I bought elsewhere because apparently they were doing an event of some sort. That area is also included in the hostel, as far I could see. Luckily there was some seating available inside the main doors. The room was fine but the bed was too low, almost reaching the floor, so not much comfortable. Good overall but could be better.

Very enjoyable

We totally enjoyed the time we stayed in the PHhostel with the three staff we saw, very friendly, funny and very helpful when we needed anything. We only had one issue we didn’t like and that was the bathroom situation as each time we went to it, we found it to be dirty, no toilet roll or very messy.

Although it was a day trip, I had a good time lodging at PH Hostel. Maybe because of my height, the beds were small for me lol. Overall, it was good.

Clean comfy base

Staff very helpful and friendly at check in. Got to honest wasn’t expecting a lot with it being a hostel but it was great. Rooms could just do with a good clean. But it was warm and comfortable providing a good base for visiting Birmingham. Just do homework on where to park if travelling by car.

Great value, as good as a hotel. Lovely decor.

Booked one of the rooms. Incredibly good value. Nice toiletries in bathroom and bed was comfortable. £4 towel offer a good deal and great way to reduce environmental impact. Only downside was the front door opening and closing was very loud - I think the room was right above it.

I have stayed at this hotel for 4 nights, while I was working away from home. I booked to have an en-suite so I can have my own personal space and bathroom. Room was relatively clean - nothing to comment. Staff service was friendly but not very useful - I had no heating in my bathroom since I have arrived. It was freezing cold. I have mentioned it to the staff the next day and a ticket was raised for someone to come the following day. Not very useful as I wasn't there for a long time. I have also mentioned that there was a slight leak from that same bathroom radiator that wasn't working but they didn't seem to care. The person who supposedly came to look at the heating didn't do anything to make it work and the leak was still there, wasn't even wiped clean. Property conditions was poor but facilities were decent - as stated above, the bathroom heater wasn't working but the heating in the room was insufficient, while the heater was on max 24/7. During the nights I was freezing cold with the radiator being slightly warm to the tough. The windows dont even close properly and the wood on the windows is rotting. Besides those things, everything was of a liveable quality. Outside the room, they have a kitchen (where the microwave is very useful to get cheaper meal), common area, a few classes a week and it is warm overall. The area around the hotel also seems quite dangerous. A lot of homeless people, glass from broken windows and closest car park with shocking reviews.

Friendly, quirky hostel in a convenient location by the Jewellery Quarter. Great value for money with friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of places to charge phones etc and good quality WiFi. Only improvement I'd suggest is the beds, which were roomy but not the most comfortable.
