Nice hostel to stay, it is located by the Potato wharf and close to many must visit places in the city such as the Science Museum and the People’s history Museum. Close to Deansgate train station. Good environment, clean beds, good value for money overall.

First time staying at a hostel an I'll do it again staff were welcoming and facilities were exactly what I needed
Great night stay at the hostel, staff are super friendly and helpful and kind with letting us keep the car there all day on the day we were leaving too! Decent buffet breakfast option as well which we used!
Good clean hostel, very close to deansgate station. Remember to bring a padlock if you want to put your things in the lockers as they charge £4 for you to buy one from them.
I enjoyed my 1 night stay there. The rooms and all other places are clean and smart. It has a nice view in the door front.
Staff were friendly and informative. I can recommend this place even for longer stays.
I accidentally left my iPad in the room, fortunately, their staff called me to remind me to retrieve it. Their service was truly outstanding, and I am very grateful for their help. The location was also excellent, within walking distance to the city center. I highly recommend their exceptional service and hospitality!

pretty standard rooms! showers felt like airport bathrooms but you get what you pay for!! nice staff and really good location, not far from the free bus and deansgate tram stop.
I'd stay here again. I was fortunate to be sharing with three ladies who were all clean, friendly, and considerate. They were from different parts of the world too so it was great to Talk about that too.
Nice place met some good people. The girl at the bar was really nice can’t remember your name but thanks for looking after me and making me a pizza when I had a few too many drinks lol. I’ll come back
1st timers staying at a hostel in a city. Booked 6 people over 2 rooms.Free parking was brilliant. Lovely modern clean hostel with bar and cafe. We had an ensuite room which was great. Not being used to YHA we didnt bring things we needed but it was only a one night stay. Breakfast was a £10 said unlimited but was not a buffet had to wait a while and not all food items available so disappointed. On the whole good value clean stay. The receptionist on saturday afternoon was very helpful whilst we encounted a few issues at check in.
