  • Don't get stuck in the second building
    By Stina, 07/23/09
    First, don't go to Birmingham. The city itself is disgusting and not worth the visit.

    If you must go to Birmingham, this hostel may be one of the best, but it is not in a good part of town and be warned that rooms 11-17 are in a different building that is a couple blocks down the street. The room itself was nice, but in the second building ...

  • Loved the POD Beds
    By Amanda, 05/03/08
    Had a nice stay at this hostel. I stayed in their POD beds which was great. Much nicer than the ones I had stayed in London. THey had a reading light, curtains and a very comfy bed. They told me they are new and waiting a few weeks for drop down TVs and IPOD stations which will be cool. The staff were nice and helpful, the common room had lots to ...

  • Five star hostel
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/09/08
    I really liked the common room, the movies, cinema, and the games they had, wii and playstation. The staff are very nice and helpful. The rooms are clean and very bright.

    The only dislike is the area. But it is not awful just very industrial.

    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/26/08

They have a movie theatre within the common room, a big projector screen, they have the game things (sorry not a fan of them) nintendo etc. Lots of books to read. The hostel is only a few ...

  • My first hostel experience
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/05/07
    This was my first experience with a hostel, and have since been to several around the UK. Birmingham Central was by far the best of the hostels. They had a nice set up, lots of useful information on what to do and directions around Birmingham. The common room had games, nintendo, xbox, DVDs its own little cinema. The staff were nice. It has a ...

  • OK
    By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/31/07
    Liked: central location, comfortable beds, free internet.

    Disliked: VERY noisy area, the hostel street felt unsafe, the room was crowded and had a bed more than advertised.
