YHA Manchester Hostel

Pleasant and friendly

Liked: In a cool and safe area, being on a wharf had a view of the river. Staff were friendly and helpful. Common spaces were very clean and welcoming. Good value for money. Breakfast had good options and was fairly priced.
Disliked: It was very hot, but it was also summer and there was a very powerful fan provided so they couldn’t do much more to help. Towel rental was £2.50 (not necessarily a dislike but just be aware if you don’t bring your own you will have to pay for it). Mattress was pretty thin so you were sleeping on the frame by the morning but it did the trick.

YHA Hostel in Manchester, reasonably...

Liked: Typical Youth Hostel in the Potato Warf area of Manchester, a 10/15 minute walk from Deansgate metrolink and train station.Mostly friendly, helpful staff with a 24-7 staffed reception. Restaurant open until 8.30 in the evening. Sells burgers, chips, pizza, basic curry, vegy options. Cooked and/or continental breakfast available for a fee.Car park is available, don't know if free or paid.Was in a 4 bed dorm room, accessed using a key card.Lift/elevator available to all flors, each flloor is announced and there are braille and tactile numbers on the lift/elevator buttons.Dorm room has metal bunk beds, top beds reach by a metal ladder. Bed sheet, duvet and pillow included with bed. Sink in room, shower and toilet in room. Plug sockets and small lamp beside bed. Small fan in room. A desk and one chair. Radiator in room.Vending machine in reception for soft drinks and snacks.
Disliked: Check-in took a little long. Asked for a bottom bed, but only top bunks available, I found a bit hard climbing a metal ladder as a blind person, but managed. Long walk from hostel to metrolink/train station, especially if it's raining and not able to drive. Price was a bit expensive for a hostel. No laundry available.
