Great price, good facilities.
For the price it was everything you would expect.
It was clean and plenty of showers / toilets that were all clean.
Staff were friendly.
Obviously it is a shared dorm and hostel, so people may come and go at all hours of the day and night.

Nice hostel
Nice little hostel if on a stop over, I've noticed people stay here long term too.
Hard to tell who staff are as they all wear plain clothes and they are not the most attentive, they can leave you at the reception desk for ages, aware you are there but not serving you : (

Great value for money
This is a cheap hostel which is well used and a little shabby .However the staff work hard to provide a good service . Fee WiFi , free breakfast and luggage storage included . Also help yourself beverages is better than many more expensive hotels . Use of kitchen .
Close to the Digbeth Coach station and Birmingham City Centre.

Good location and friendly staff
Short stay, supposed to shared with other 3 people but luckily no one was there so like a single room. Very close to coach station, light breakfast and kitchen use provided. Ideal for short-term stay on a budget.

The street where the hostel is, it is awfull, very dirty and at weekends terribly noise.
The hostel is old, and it looks dirty.
Cleaning people is nice and they try to do their best, but the hostel needs urgently a deep renovation . Our room of four has the floor broke, and the walls were half printed...
People at reception were ok.
