Almost everything I like about this hostel. I booked for a bed in 4 shared bedroom. It’s really beautiful and I stayed for 6 days 5 nights. My purpose was to travel Manchester while writing up my debut novel aim to be published next year. The hostel is really beautiful, the drawings on the wall make the hostel stands out! I stayed in a hostel in London, it was so terrible sharing 3 bunk bed, but this hostel serves 2 bunk bed which provides bigger height, so that I can sit properly inside the compartment, bigger width compartment. In terms of toilet, it’s really spacious with bath tub that I will not get that in London (even they also provides liquid soap which I really impressed!). The sink is bigger so that the water will not splash out. The lobby is really beautiful with plants and dark green wall, where I work on my laptop there.

The host was the best: super kind and willing to help with anything. The pool was great for a chill time after spending the day walking around Manchester. His dogs are the sweetest and the vibes were perfect. I enjoyed some cool chats with other guests too. Also, the house is 10 min away from Heaton Park by car, and around 20 from Manchester city centre. There are bus stops, trains and supermarkets after a 5 min walk. I'd definitely do it again. Thanks for everything, Neil!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
