Ashton House Hostel Reviews

it's not just the facilities that fail this hostel (although in some areas they really do eg.beds), it's the clueless, rude and ignorant staff that are the major failing. having been put in a room alone, i was told that they 'thought guests would prefer to be alone'. are you kidding me? if i wanted to be alone i would've booked a HOTEL and not a hostel. i can see why the hostel was mostly empty, true to the reviews, it's not worth staying at. there's cereal, but no milk! buy your own. rip off!

Rooms were very cold, bathrooms gross, no garbage cans in the rooms. The walls were completely white and bare in the rooms. Entrance was decorated nicely which made a large contrast between the rooms. Glad I was only there for one night and wouldn't stay there again.

The stay was not at all the way it was expected. Rooms were small with just one bulb. The rest did not work. The toilets were dirty. The rooms were not cleaned the next day. No tv rooms, wifi. I would never stay in the hotel again. It costed approx 55 pounds for a deluxe room. In that much amount one can find a decent room in the other hotels available in Manchester.

Rooms were very tiny and had to get on the bed to open the door. Showers are clear glass stalls in the middle of an open room. Very cold inside (no heat). Staff very friendly and helpful. Location short walking distance from Victoria station. Internet cafe is 3 computers but only 1 working - costs 1 pound per 15 min of use.

i really didn´t like the atmosphere of the place, for me it was like dark, and the bedrooms were really small. the toilettes actually were really good.

The staff and location are great. 5 minutes away from city centre. So, you can reach everything by walk. Highly recommended!

great freindly staff, could not have asked for better, evn upgraded me from an dorn to a single room, Thanks

This place is very much like a prison except the rooms are smaller than cells. If you just need a bed for the night after a gig which is what i used it for then it's ok but quite unclean and smelly!

The showers are a bit odd, not sure why they are transparent.

There is no kitchen at the moment. Customers can not even get hot water!

As a result, the rate is may be not good superficially. In this term, lounge and kitchen are under construction. Even though the rate is not good, I think here is good hostel, especially the price on weekend is cheaper than other hostels in Manchester.

The place had a great location and the staff were nice. But the facilities were dirty and the kitchen was closed spontaneously due to reservations. I just stayed for one night and it was ok, but i wouldn't reco,,end a prolonged stay.

The men's toilet was blocked & it was not nice having to use.

The staff are very very nice. They are ready to help you whenever is necessary. The private room is a bit cold and small. Shared rooms are Ok. The location is excelent, really close to Victoria station and Shudehill Interchange. The shared bathroom wasn't very clean. To go out in Manchester is a good choice since lots of guest went out over the weekend.

the guy in the reception desk is really not friendly at all~!! I was very angry at that time. no smile on his face.

We paid for a large dorm room and were given a private room! Very impressed! The showers looked amazing although I didn't have time for one ):

We stayed in a twin private dorm that was tiny, perhaps an old cupboard in a former life. The walls were very thin and we heard every word, every door creak and people opening and closing lockers out in the hallway as if it were in our room. The Staff were great and the hostel did its job but was overprised for what it was.

The accommodation was cheap and cheerful, had no complaints. The showers are a bit odd in that everyone in the room can see you and some frosted glass wouldn't go a miss. Luckily all 3 of us enjoyed showers in solitude, and even enjoyed the music on the radio, which is a control option. The showes are good....just exposed to start, till you get them steamy! Didn't bother with the breakfast, so have no comment. Handy location and friendly staff.

found a cigarette butt in the room right away when I arrived good location if you want to go shopping comfortable beds

no lights or electricity the first night in the room, room like a prison cell without a window and no radiator not even a bin (just a bed), smell of the toilets in the room all day, no privacy in the open showers, because of the windows to the next rooms (not to the outside!) always bright light when the others guests came back at night, even in the single/double rooms securtiy was good, easy check in/out
