Wouldn't do a YHA hostel ever again.

Maybe you're into hostelling, realistically for the price per night you're better off staying in a proper hotel instead of a prison cell. No TV's in private room, accessible rooms are in a dormitory with others sharing, private rooms are literally a box, with a terrible mattress fit for nobody, literally inches thick, both me and my partner woke up in pain, what was meant to be a few nice nights away turned into back ache and leaving earlier on our planned trip. Had attitude from staff for asking for an extra pillow for my partner due to him having bad back and neck, was treated awful at check in too, staff were iattentive and rude. Honestly for the price you pay there is better options out there.

Nice Hostel

The lift is always out of order. The vibe is nice. The bed is a bit tight. Near to Deansgate. I suggest the hostel to put on a notice board more information about the area eg suggestions as to where to go, where to take the free bus etc Ovrrall is nice experience!
