I've traveled extensively and have never checked out of a hostel early until I stayed here. The room was so hot that it was unbearable and I left after one night. The wifi was very weak. The USB charging ports did not work next to the bed. There was no staff at the front desk when I arrived. The location is in between raised train tracks and you can hear trains go by.

Had a brief one night stay at the YHA Manchester, would absolutely recommend. Staff was friendly, check in was easy and amenities cover everything you would need. Location was easily accessible by train and tram and the free bus has a pick up near by if you want to hop on for a tour around Manchester. Would return!

the bed was super comfy, the location is good, I felt safe walking back from the train station around 11pm. but i was in a room facing the train tracks and it was very noisy (not good for a light sleeper), the room was quite warm in summer, a big fan was provided, though it was quite noisy. The people were friendliness and i had lovely roommates.
