Sometimes there are places with not the best rate, this is this case but this doesn’t mean that they are giving a bad service to their customers, sometimes in the internet the people only post reviews when they are not happy with the service, so sure you’ll find a good service here too.

Staff seem friendly and very helpful. Other residents of course can be hit and miss but if you haven't got many choices there are definitely worse places.

Fantastic support staff, they go the extra mile in their roles within the hostel.

Has to be the rowdiest crowd I've ever seen. The residents here are the sharp edge of Birminghams homeless - the guys you'll see on the streets with sleeping bags over their shoulders and McDonalds coffee cups in their hands. The staff here seem a little disorganised at first sight but don't be deceived - they're right on the ball and they do a good job with it too. I got moved on to a decent place in just three weeks with the bare minimum of fuss and hassle. The rooms are pretty decent and they come in groups called "Clusters" and each cluster has a shared toilet and shower room. Although not particularly clean, the rooms are spacious and more than adequately furnished. From the outside it looks like it's just a housing block, but inside there's a large garden with the building built around it in a square formation. It gives the impression that once upon a time this building might have been quite a desirable residence. The food here is really good: three full and hearty meals a day starting with a full cooked breakfast, then a hot lunch with dessert midday and sandwiches and salad as an evening meal. I can honestly say that I've never eaten as good as this anywhere I've been. There is also an emergency night shelter here. Basically this is a few camping beds in the communal T.V. and Games room. The problem here is that it's pretty pointless: nobody really sleeps at all and it's a case of just getting through the night as best you can. In summer it would be better to sleep outside. Overall a decent service. Just don't expect too much in the way of peace and quiet!

The staff are friendly and helpful. I have been helped enormously by trident reach, and reading the earlier review, has spurred me to write this. The hostel helps homeless people to get off the streets, and will try to find them move on accommodation and help signpost other services where it is appropriate. The residents are varied and many have complex issues. When I first arrived there I was in poor physical and mental health. The staff helped, and there are people there who would happily take advantage of you, but not if you didn't choose to mix, drink or take drugs with them. The common areas are covered by Cctv, and the food is excellent. I am disgusted someone has chosen to write negative a review, when the problem with that particular reviewer, was caused by their total lack of respect for others, their choices, and anti social behaviour. I was there at the same time.
