The wifi is too expensive. The staff does not seem to be caring too much.The room near to the bridge is too noisy. In addition to the train, the morning wake-up call from the goose in the cannel around 4-5 am is such a pain.

The staff of hostel is really friendly! And the location of YHA is just near by the Roman heritage. You can reach there easily with the free metro-shuttle bus line 3.

Each night costs £3 more than listed. When you arrive they tell you you should have read the small print.

This is a wonderful place to live when travelling. I have made up my mind to live in YHA every time I travel in the future.

The location of this hostel was a little out of the way and inconvenient for carrying back packs. But everything else was great. Safe, good atmosphere, nice place to chill, clean rooms, helpful staff.

The hostel is allright, the only thing I didn't like is that they charge you for everything.

Very clean, the rooms are great for what you pay. Doesn't feel like a hostel room. Would like free internet if possible and a later check out time! Other than that it was great.

The staff of YHA is helpful and kind, installations are well mantained and operated. The affiliation to YHA is not something very useful, they should tell about this in advance, not telling you as you arrive and must pay because you don't have any option, it seems to be avantageous in their favor. This is the only negative issue I found, besides that I had a very good time in YHA Manchester.
