My wife and I booked in for a weekend in Birmingham to see a performance of Cirque du Soleil at the NIA arena. Having read the reviews we had an idea what to expect, but in the event the hostel exceeded our expectations considerably. Our mattress was OK, the room was fine, the staff were friendly and helpful.(I was even... More

Tis is a good hostel - you shouldn't expect four star hotel, but when you don't mind sharing a room with few other people and sharing a bathroom with even more, you can get a fine, tidy accommodation at a very reasonable price. Even the self/served breakfast was good. There are also some free time facilities - Wii, DVDs and... More

I stayed here was I was travelling on a budget as a student. The room was very cheap and you get what you pay for. The mattress was a bit uncomfortable but for the price I cannot complain. The staff are great and offered me advice on what to visit in the city, where to eat etc. I'd definitely stay... More

This is a very good place for making friends, as their lobby is pretty full of people all around the world all the time. They have got a huge quantity of films and games for Xbox 360 and PS3, and you... More

This hostel is amazing. A few friends and I were given a four bed room to ourselves for one night. Just what we wanted for a night out. We had a sink, shower, TV, DVD player and loads of storage. Three of the bed were a single (as expected). One was almost a double, so a nice surprise. The first... More

truly a wonderful hostel, friendly and affordable. Looks can be deceiving, because the hostel is located in a suburb infrequent and not recommended, but inside the hostel is quiet and colourfull. The owners are friendly and helpful (and cute ;*). There is a great common room with board games, books, projector and big screen, playstation 3, several sofas and chairs,... More

Like a lot of other reviewers, I was put in the new building, which didn't have wi-fi access yet (there are only 5 rooms in the original building). Seeing as getting wi-fi in the dorms was one of the main reasons I chose to stay here, it would have been nice to know beforehand. The other main reason I chose... More
