I only crashed for one night, but everything suggested to me that this would be a great spot if one day I wanted to explore Manchester in more detail.

The hostel owner was incredibly kind and considerate! As a female Muslim, I was probably the only woman staying there at the time, and he seemed genuinely concerned about my comfort and safety. He even went out of his way to check on me and make sure everything was okay—such a thoughtful gesture. The bed and comforter were beyond my expectations! I’ve stayed in many places, but this was by far one of the most comfortable setups I’ve had. It felt like a little slice of heaven after a long day of exploring. The hostel itself is semi-built, but I can already tell that once it’s finished, it’s going to be one of the nicest places to stay. I also left my luggage there for a few days, and the owner took great care of it for me until I returned. I can’t express how grateful I am for his hospitality. I’m really excited to see the hostel when it’s fully completed! Wishing all the best for you, Mr. N.

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.
