TERRIBLE SERVICE

We stayed in a double room. When we got to the room there were no soap in the bathroom, no toilet plunger and no trash bin… When I went to the reception she said there was nothing she could do and that we should used the floors bathroom instead until morning and she would write a note to get it fixed. Another guest gave me a soap when I was was about to leave to the room which helped for the night. Next morning and nothing had happened. I talked to the reception again and they wrote another note to get it fixed. NOTHING HAPPENED and we never got any of the stuff that was missing. I had to go and ask for toilet paper since it ran out and there was nothing but the one roll, reception said they would bring more but we only got one which also ran out. The paper was VERY THIN. The morning of checkout we asked if we could stay 2 hours longer and was told it would be 15 pounds which we agreed to. But they had no way of paying apart from them writing down your credit card information and billing it to you which I was not comfortable with…. The girl in the reception was incredibly rude and ignored me multiple times talking to friends refusing to come up with a solution so we just decided to leave earlier. Terrible stay and I dont recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Manchester.

Over expectations

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!

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.

An unexpected good experience

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.
