Friendly, quirky hostel in a convenient location by the Jewellery Quarter. Great value for money with friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of places to charge phones etc and good quality WiFi. Only improvement I'd suggest is the beds, which were roomy but not the most comfortable.

A desk and En-suite bathroom is just for business

As I wanted to get a hotel closer to the NEC than my relatives in the area I checked out Hotels.com and found this hostel near Snow Hill. When I checked the address I realised that I had stayed there when it was called Hatters and a previous name which I have forgotten. Each time I have stayed this hostel seems to have changed its name and improved the facilities. It has changed what I think was a Victorian factory into an almost 5 star HOSTEL. The Gentleman on reception already honoured my request to give me a bottom bunk in a room with less steps because I am 75 and too short to climb into a top bunk. When I got to my 6 bed all female dorm I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was also had a very clean En-suite bathroom. As I was tired and the shower was being used I went to bed in the most comfortable spacious bottom bunk bed I can remember using for ages. Spotlessly clean with reasonable headroom, two plugs and 2 working USB chargers is fantastic for business travelliers on a budget. The shelf was convinient but not quite large enough for everything I needed to charge and my drinks bottle which dropped off and fell into the gap between the bed and the wall. Luckily the bottle was closed and recovered quickly. After a hectic day at the NEC I decided not to go and pay the extra for a bath towel but closed my privacy curtain and continued doing business using the bedside lamp. A shelf 10 cm (6”) wide to keep all my business items falling down could help.

very expensive for a hostel. not worth it.

Decent location, less than 20 minute walk to the train station. I stayed on the second floor, in a single room and there must have been at least 10 rooms on the same floor. Based on the people I've seen, there must have been some rooms that had multiple beds. That said, I was surprised that there was only one shared bathroom with just one toilet and one shower. The night started out quiet. It was a Saturday so naturally people were partying, and started rolling into the hostel around 2-3am, being pretty loud, which is expected for a hostel. As my room was beside the bathroom, I quickly learned how thin the walls were. Some of the young kids were super drunk, stomping back and forth between the bathroom and their room, talking loudly. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn't and eventually got up to use the bathroom. One guy was passed out, so I had to go use the main lobby bathroom. I told the person at reception, and he went right away to check on the guy in the bathroom and told the guys to quiet down, which they did eventually. In the morning when I checked out, I told the receptionist that there was vomit in the shower and toilet, and she didn't seem to care. If I had paid $50 for the room, I'd shrug it off, but this came to $150 (about 82 GBP) a night which was totally not worth it. Single rooms should be separated from the mixed dorm rooms, perhaps on a different floor

Fantastic location for central Birmingham! We had a private room which was very spacious and clean. And the price was around half of staying in a local hotel. Staff were great, easy free parking right outside after 6pm on a Saturday which was ideal and visible CCTV outside which was reassuring. Really impressed with this place, would definitely return next time we’re in Birmingham!

Cheaper and cleaner hostels elsewhere

We booked a loft room. It looks beautiful on first impressions, good sized bed and nice furniture. However, the room is right next to a railway line which starts early in the morning, cleanliness wasn’t the best (bathroom floor not brushed/hoovered and crumbs all over the furniture), no toaster, paint all flaking away, holes in walls that need attention, only one lumpy pillow each, portable heaters as no radiators, no tv for a private room, attention to detail needed especially for the price point for a private room.

I stayed in the all female 6 bedroom dorm, with ensuite bathroom (shower and toilet) for the 6 of us to share. It was reasonably clean and quiet, with the bed both and curtain providing nice privacy. However, the wifi did not extend to the room (had to go to common area for internet) and the mattress was extremely springy (could feel every single spring bore into my back all night).

It was nice being upgraded on the to a better room. The receptionist was really nice and even played the piano for us. The rooms are large but the rooms facing the rail tracks don't have windows that open. Overall it's a great hostel and has a good modern look
