I liked the location and the fact that the rooms had lockers for belongings to be kept in. I also liked that you were able to check in up until a very late hour in the day.
I did not like the noise coming from the corridors. I also did not like that the showers were not as clean as they could have been.

The location is purfect if you come to Birmingham by bus. There are grocery stores nearby and the shopping mall is not far away. The staff is very friendly.
The room smelled a bit and the beds weren't the most comfiest.

Really comfortable bedding, great value considering its right in the heart of the city. Genuinely the most comfortable night sleep I’ve had outside my own home which is super surprising considering the price. Not too hot or too cold in the room, massive window for when it was a bit hot. Clean showers and toilets, nice kitchen facility too.
Could use a bell or some sort of system to alert reception staff that you’re there if they aren’t at the desk. Curtains were a little hard to close. Very minor issues!

Staffs are very nice. Kitchen is clean, place is not far from the city center. Theres next to the hostel a club or something playing electro music on the weekend. Toilet is clean. Bed comfortable. There's s window so if u need fresh air, it's a good one.
The room is small for 2x3 bunk beds. The door is somewhat rusty or needs to have some oil as it doesn't open/close properly. Toilet there's the toilet holder which someone must be careful otherwise if u be d your head then it just opens and u hit yourself badly.

the staff were fantastic, and having a private room in a backpackers hostel was an unexpected pleasure with good facilities and goods available to buy on location

Staff were very friendly and helpful, explained everything about key cards and utilities on arrival and were happy to store luggage while I was out.
Got a bit hot in 15 bed dorm, but nothing unbearable.

I felt really touched by a warm welcome and complimentary breakfast.
Excellent location in the walking distance from the Birmingham Couch Station.
The landscape around the building felt abandoned to me-there is a huge redevelopment around this site of the city.

Rooms appear to have been modernised in recent years which was a nice surprise! Bed was very comfy, room was clean and kettle, chair and lamp a wonderful touch for budget accomodation. Great location for coach station, Digbeth, Bullring and Moor St Station. Communal shower and toilet facilities kept to a generally good standard. There is a communal kitchen and dining area but I didn't have much need to make use of these as I was only staying overnight.
Key cards for each room make a loud (beeping) noise upon entry and you could hear the neighbour's key cards too. Some neighbour noise in night (till 2.30am appx) including doors shutting and people on phone etc. Then woken by Staff at 3.50am by knocking loudly on another guest's door and heard them apologising for an issue with their key card. (No apology for waking me up!) Largely slept well otherwise I suppose.

Cheap price and clean
This is strictly a personal issue, but I was not comfortable in the bunk pods due to being much taller than the pod is long
