Great place friendly and make your own breakfast
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

I want to thank the reception desk (likely from the Indian subcontinent), the one guy who was in the morning when I arrived very early (7AM) and the other lady who helped in the check in during the noon. Both are amazing. Rooms are clean. I didn't have much expectations, but it was so good that it prompted me to write this. The pods and the separation is a highlight even for a mixed bunk bed. From the Coach station, its quite close, but to board FlixBus I had to walk a bit, but no complaints on the location. You could see the beautiful mural art all around the neighborhood. Thanks for making the stay pleasant

I stayed here for 2 nights while travelling for leisure, the staff provided good service but weren't really chatty chatty, but thats not a huge problem, check in was very fast, the facilities were outstanding such as the shower and bathrooms and it was nice to see an actual kitchen where people cook their own food, never have i seen that in a hostel, one thing with hostels is i always get put on the highest bunk possible, seeing im young and reasonably light i have no problem getting up, but most hostels have painful metal tiny ladders, the ladder in this room was wide and smooth wood, much more easy to access, the only negative experience i had was the room being incredibly stuffy at night given the current weather and being next to a load of night clubs, but other than that i believe u get what you pay for, exceptional budget accommodation

Private room for 2 in good condition. Shared bathroom not always ideal but it was okay. We spent one night and it was fine. The street where it is can be a bit creepy at night but we had no issues at all. Breakfast is very simple but free.

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed at a property with the same name, in the same location and had been avoiding this place since that bad experience but after seeing pics online figured I'd try it. And I couldn't have been more surprised! The place I stayed at before was nasty dingey twisting little place with rude staff that felt like sleeping in someone's druggy cousins spare room. This was a very professional and modern hostel with all the convenient amenities you could need and well designed and implemented rooms. The bunks are comfortable and provide great privacy with their curtains. There are lockers for each bed, both the beds and lockers are labelled. The kitchen and lounge were both fine. There are big communal bathrooms, toilets and showers on each level. My only con was that the hot water went out in the middle of my shower and I had to run downstairs to the main bathrooms to finish my shower. But other than that I had a great experience here and would definitely stay again.

Great price, good facilities.

For the price it was everything you would expect. It was clean and plenty of showers / toilets that were all clean. Staff were friendly. Obviously it is a shared dorm and hostel, so people may come and go at all hours of the day and night.

Nice hostel

Nice little hostel if on a stop over, I've noticed people stay here long term too. Hard to tell who staff are as they all wear plain clothes and they are not the most attentive, they can leave you at the reception desk for ages, aware you are there but not serving you : (

Great value for money

This is a cheap hostel which is well used and a little shabby .However the staff work hard to provide a good service . Fee WiFi , free breakfast and luggage storage included . Also help yourself beverages is better than many more expensive hotels . Use of kitchen . Close to the Digbeth Coach station and Birmingham City Centre.

Good location and friendly staff

Short stay, supposed to shared with other 3 people but luckily no one was there so like a single room. Very close to coach station, light breakfast and kitchen use provided. Ideal for short-term stay on a budget.

Acceptable

Le point positif de cet hotel est qu’en terme de rapport/qualité/prix, il est imbattable. Cependant, sa localisation reste problématique car il y a trop de bruit surtout quand la boite de nuit ouvre ses portes car cela peut durer toute la journée voir la nuit entière donc bon courage pour ceux qui ne prévoient pas de boules quies. En dehors de ça, le ménage est fait quotidiennement contrairement à ce qu’on peut lire, mais cela dépend bien évidemment des personnes qui y logent. Le petit déjeuné est complet et le staff est super accueillant. Il vous faudra juste accéder à un autre batiment pour pouvoir en profiter! Bon séjour
