I stayed in a 4 bed female only room and it was awesome. Very clean, neat, and spacious. The beds are comfy and the lighting is good. There’s a shower and toilet in the room which makes it more convenient for guests. The location of the hostel is great. It’s close to the Museum of Science and Technology. It’s roughly 20 minutes from both Manchester United stadium and Manchester City Stadium. The hostel has a kitchen as well as a restaurant. The environment around is breathtaking! I’ll definitely be back.

The beds lack privacy as there are no bed curtains. There’s female only rooms should have emergency female products like tampons or sanitary towels.

The beds were comfortable and it’s definitely good value for money. We came as a group of 4 and felt comfortable in the quadruple room. One of our bedsheets had a stain to which the reception staff immediately replaced it after we asked. There’s a water refill station and a spacious communal area. There’s also luggage storage facilities and you can store your luggage after checkout and collect it when you want to. Staff were also helpful and friendly. We had a bathroom in our room which was really handy.

The water pressure for the shower is not very strong and the toilet can take some time to flush. But other than that we were really happy with our stay.

Clean, well organised, cheap and cheerful. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare food. The shared rooms have ensuite bathrooms and a toilet. The staff are always on-hand, friendly and helpful. The bag drop room makes it easy to leave luggage so you can go about your day unhindered. Good location right next to the MOSI. I've stayed here on several visits to Manchester and will surely be back again.

No complaints whatsoever! As its a hostel you can of course expect the occasional minimal noise from other guests, but that's hardly the hostels fault and comes with the territory really. I've always managed to sleep just fine every time I've stayed.

Amazing hostel that is very clean, very welcoming and in a very convenient location! Really liked that the room was only 4 people and included a private bathroom and shower. Lockers were also a great size for the backpack. Staff was super kind and friendly and really liked that it is maned 24/7. Only a 10 min walk to get to the heart of the city centre and 10 Min walk to get to Deansgate station which takes you directly to the airport which is perfect.

The area it is located is beautiful and urban but a bit sketchy a night pending on which way you walk. Recommend walking on the main road side at night as opposed to the water canals (quite dark at night).

Everything was perfect from A-Z apart from noise while we kept the windows open and the size of the room, which didn't have enough space for our kids to walk around. Nice location, free car park, clean and tidy, game boards, big screen, smoke-free, professional, friendly, and very helpful staff. We had a great stay at YHA. I have to say a big thanks to all the team, especially the lady who brought the baby cot to our door, and the guy who introduced himself as a night shift manager was very friendly and helpful.

The noise from the train, especially at night when the kids are in deep sleep. The size of the room, which is expected to be big enough for 3 bunk beds and a baby cot.

I liked the lobby, and the facilities, too. A bathroom and only 4 beds in the room is a huge advantage. The kitchen is a bit small, but works. I was surprised that the staff were quite helpful with extra requests. Usually in hostels they say 'sorry we don't provide this', but here they actually tried to help (e.g. got some salt for the kitchen).

A bit noisy, especially in the lobby (the staff should ask people to reduce their noise level). Basic condiments (e.g. salt, pepper, oil) should be provided (as it is impossible to carry all this or buy every time you move into a new place).

I wasn't expecting it to be such a warm and friendly place to stay. Great, helpful staff, cafe and bar available throughout the day, 24-hour reception, comfortable lounge areas. Food and drink are reasonably priced. They let me check in early, which I was grateful for. I had a private room, was basic, but had a nice view of the canal and a comfortable bed.

There isn't much I didn't like because I wasn't expecting a hotel, I was aware that it's a hostel. So I found not having a towel, kettle and TV a bit different, but this wasn't a major problem.

The size of the room is spacious for 4- bed .The beds were clean and comfortable.The toilet is small although good enough for 4 people,l have seen worse in other hostels.A self catering kitchen is always useful.Huge lobby area .WiFi worked.

The room was hot , although a fan was provided.But the noise of the fan bothered sometime at night. Bit away from the city centre.The nearest station is the Deansgate. The canal is dirty , doesn't give a pleasant look.

Stayed only for one night so I didn't even see my room with the lights on because I didn't want to disturbe my roommates. I didn't use the en-suite either for the same reason, so it was great to have a bathroom and a shower on the hallway too. Good storage space in the room! Hostel met all of my expectations and needs.

My sheets had some staining on them but as it was late I made a decision not to ask for new ones. Wifi was a bit unreliable but not too bad.

The hostel is clean and not run down. The beds have USB-ports so that foreigners dont need to bring adapters to charge their phones. The hostel also has a fully equipped kitchen.

It was quite hot in the 4-bedroom that I slept in but it was in the middle of August. Also, the window had to be open for ventilation all night and there is a rail track quite close to the window. That said, there were not many trains passing and I did not wake up during the night.
