Nice hostel to stay, it is located by the Potato wharf and close to many must visit places in the city such as the Science Museum and the People’s history Museum. Close to Deansgate train station. Good environment, clean beds, good value for money overall.

I accidentally left my iPad in the room, fortunately, their staff called me to remind me to retrieve it. Their service was truly outstanding, and I am very grateful for their help. The location was also excellent, within walking distance to the city center. I highly recommend their exceptional service and hospitality!
