Reviews of Birmingham Central Backpackers
M. U.
No sign as shown in pic located by phone! decent value and surprisingly very clean showers etc but admin couldve been improved. Staff are fine, but they treat reservations that don't turn up same as bookings using 1 top bunk in empty room. Also the 4 berth and 16 berth dorms pretty much same thing for £2 u just get own keycard as the 16 berth use one door n share corridor but are still 4/5 bunks a room plus i think 1 gets double bed room to. Themselves lol so.if you're looking to save money just book. Lowest anyway! Don't expect thereee Ritz it's backpackers place, but. Lockers could be bigger too even for budget. Place
It's worth it though for clean showers toilets kitchen and even serve morning toast n tea hehe
H. H.
Clean dorms and bathrooms. Easy to find too. Helpful staff on the front desk too. Only negative was the noise from the outside was quite loud when trying to sleep but nothing can be done about that and it was the weekend 😊

Pros:
∆ Cheap
∆ Short distance to city centre
∆ Great shower facilities
∆ Comfy beds
∆ Friendly staff
Cons:
¶ The people who stay here
¶ The location is hard to find in the dark (maybe have a light beside your sign?) and the area is not safe

I've stayed at upward of 100 hostels from London to Istanbul, not to mention other regions of the world. This hostel is more of a dingy business than an advocate of communal youthfulness and budget world-travel. It will work for a few nights for the price, not many hostels in Birmingham. The location to transit is ok, but a little industrial/edgy. Seemed like there was a long-term dweller kind of scene there. Do visit Digbeth, but maybe spring for the Air bnb.

The staff are excellent, so accomadating to various needs and very friendly. The rooms are clean and well cared for, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time here.
M. “. E.
There is a staff called Mitchy
This man is awesome...
They are friendly and helpful
R. E.
Great price, location and ready comfy beds!
N. P.
Although sadly a part of the hostel was removed I still thought of sharing memories of it so it won't be forgotten. Great people, great staff, the bathrooms and showers outdid my expectations when I first came.
M. G.
Would be great if you did not have to hang your clothes on floor
P. M.
If you like people, then you will love this place. Super clean, super chill, I feel at home already.
C. T.
I feel that this place was perfect. The first step i came in, there's was people that come to speak with you, i feel amiable and kinda fit into them, it's make me feel happy. The hostel and the check in counter was separated building but it's just beside.From the train station it's around 0.7miles from walking and taking taxi is 1miles(around 5-6£).Check-in then go to the next building. After I go to my room, I walk around and the facility are better than the last few hostel I had stay before. The showers are great and the kitchen are alright. If you are hungry at night, there's bar and subway around 0.2miles (from check in counter door see at your left there's a small road, turn into right, walk straight until you see the traffic light and turn right, you are there. )oh ya and I booked woman's dorm, its quite although you can heard the music from the bars, I think it's better than sound of the slamming door in the dorms.You can keep your luggage at the counter if the space is available. Finally finished my review and time to sleep. Nights!
M. W.
I stayed here out of circumstances and the hostel was great. Staff if friendly and helpful. Location is central. Rooms and lockers are nice and secure. Breakfast included...
Something had happened to me with another guest who thought he could touch and approach me inappropriately in the the hallway at night. I escaped the situation and pushed it aside until I mentioned it the next morning to reception. The hostel took control, had my back and didnt allow that guest to stay any longer.
This is a place that will have your back and value your safety.
Thank you all so much.

Just checked out this morning. This was my first time staying here and been staying here for a week. The whole experience for me was excellent.
1) The main common room is open between 07:00-2400.
2) Free breakfast is from 07:00 till 11:00(Noticed Need to wash your own dishes in the kitchen 😌 please)
3) Check out is by 11am sharp on the day of departure.
4) You can hire a locker for just £5 deposit and you can get it back when you check out.
5) Free coffee and tea too.
6) If I not mistaken check in time was 2pm( Noticed not sure about this)
7)The cleaner will enter the room at 11am to clean the room.
8)No outside alcohol and smoking in the premises or rooms.
9)Very near to Coach Station,Moor Street and Grand Central Station too.
(Hope this informations will help all the people who like stay here.)
This was all my own experiences while staying here and please don't take it seriously.
Lastly what I would like to say here are all the staffs here were so friendly and helpful.
P. H.
A really great Backpacker Hostel, a fully functional kitchen is something I don't see that often and 15 bucks for a night with a simple breakfast is a no brainier.
Especially when there are clean toilets, modern showers and a decent bed
K. B.
Some of the reviews worried me, but it's perfect for the price. Showers are lush and the toast spread in the morning was super helpful for a hungry non-local. No bedbugs in my bunk, which is my number one concern in hostels. Anything that you need, the staff are really helpful, and you can cook your own meals in the kitchen to save money. Much better than expected.
J. W.
Thicker mattresses than hostels in London. 10 mins walk into town centre. Lovely friendly staff. Quiet location. Tea and coffee and kitchen. Clean throughout. 10 out of 10.
I. M.
Visited early April 2019
Pretty standard backpackers - basic, but that’s what you pay for. Clean and tidy, free breakfast - not the best area, not much around and a little uncomfortable at night. Otherwise fine, would stay again.
J. R. O.
In my opinion one of the best places to stay if you like the lifestyle of sharing with other people, this is your best option, the staff members are very kind and help you in all you need, most of all people live here like a big family and cook together, go together to pubs or other places, the kitchen is big and full furnished, have very good showers and toilet that every day the staff members clean very good. Every day they put one or two films in the common room and if you are looking for improve your English this is your site because you can speak with people from lots of different countries and learn about theirs culture. They have a smokers area with roof for raining days. You will enjoy your stay here. The decoration is very nice and is a very cozy place. They have very good prices and they give you the possibility to stay for a long term if you want. 100% recommended!! Try and you will not regret.
D. C.
Cheap and cheerful! my room was very basic though clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast a bit limited (only toast and fruit) but was ok - communal area very friendly. staff REALLY helpful - I got totally lost and they talked me through a route I would never have found :) kitchens and showers basic and it could all do with a bit of paint but its excellent for the price
T. P.
Nice toilets and showers, gender neutral (although I couldn't get the shower temperature right this morning). Old mattresses, very basic rooms. Nice common area, free tea and coffee all day, free but basic breakfast (squash, toast, fruit, wash your own dishes). Relatively friendly staff. Location is near the coach station and about 20 minutes walk from New Street station. The area is quite industrial and not particularly pleasant. Very cheap to stay here though.
M. C.
Decent enough rooms, basic but not bad. Clean bathroom and warm shower. Breakfast is basic but better than nothing! Location is reasonably industrial but not awful. Be warned - The beds are narrow, so if you're not used to that, it's very easy to hit your head on the ladders whilst tossing in your sleep, as I did, giving myself a mild concussion!
Also, if there is anything on at the O2 Institute, the noise permeates the rooms and can keep you awake (possibly leading to the afore-mentioned tossing and turning).
T. N. N.
Highly recommended for budget travellers. Near train/bus stations, can walk to downtown area. Staffs are friendly and helpful. High value for cost. Common room with collections of history/travel/military books. Free hot water/tea/coffee whole day in the common room. Common kitchen for self cooking foods.
J. W.
A hostel that absolutely cannot be faulted given the cost. The staff were friendly and welcoming, free coffee and tea are provided until the common area closes, breakfast is provided and storage for baggage is available for just a £5 deposit. In spite of the surrounding area looking a tad seedy, there was never a moment inside the hostel where I felt unsafe or uncomfortable. Highly recommend for those on a budget.
l. l.
Excellent hostel with good breakfast and a big screen where you can see movies. Friendly staff and clean rooms. I recommend it also for its location as it is really close to the center and to the bus station. Really convenient if you want to catch a flight in the morning.
L. P.
Definitely one of the better hostels I've stayed in. Welcoming, friendly staff with a really good atmosphere in the common room/bar and a decent kitchen. Clean rooms and decent bathrooms with lockers in the bedrooms. Still has a number of weird old dudes that seem to exist at every hostel in the world but that's about the worst of it. Would stay here again.
K. B.
The hostel is clean, the showers are mostly warm, the common room is great to meet people, and it's just overall great. BUT the common room closes at 12 right when most people start hanging out. If it stayed open until 2am, would give 5 stars. Location is great as well.
M. H.
I have stayed here 3 times without incident, and I’ll stay there again in the future, but last week, they double booked my room, and I had to stay in one of their hostel rooms, instead of the single room I had initially booked. This room was very hot, but opening a window meant that the very loud bass from nearby club Lab11 made it hard to sleep. I like a dance to Camelphat’s magnum opus “cola” as much as the next man, but not in an overly hot hostel while trying to sleep :P
The people that work here really are delightful, but in future, if you want to guarantee yourself a room, book direct from the hostel’s website.
H. B.
A quirky little place to rest. First time trying such and am so happy they allowed me to book after some other rude company fell through (Hatters being bought be Selina who had rubbish customer service.)
Stayed in a female dorm of 6, bunk beds
Welcoming front of house lady, everything clearly explained. Surprisingly clean throughout and having a female only option was excellent. Location in terms of reaching and exploring different part of Birmingham city is brilliant.
Getting back at half 10 and having to creep around the room of sleeping people wasn't that fun. But also didn't want to go to the main reception part because was in a separate building. Toilet was ok, only, did run out of toilet paper. Weren't really given verbal instructions on what to do when this arises. Can only assume speak to the front desk but at the time, I did not wish to. Area seems a bit industrial but easy to access.
Am yet to try the free continental brekkie
I. J.
Very nice overall. 6 person room was a good size, and everything was clean. A tap for the toilet room didn't work, but there is another nearby so it wasn't a major issue. Everything was quiet at night. Good value for money.
d.
Kitchen closed at 12 midnight. But during daytime, it closes again for cleaning. I had to have my lunch around 20 mins later. My train was at 1:55pm. For rooms, no locker, no individual night light and socket. But showers are great.
k. h.
As expected a very comfortable stay.
M. B.
A cheap place to stay and with fine conditions, especially considering the price. Relatively neat and clean, free wifi and simple but okay breakfast. With a "POD" you also get some privacy in your own "box", so the place is recommended if you primarily are looking for a bed to sleep in without having to pay a lot for it.
S. N.
This hostel is very clean and smells good, the living room is colorful and nice, the staff is ok, the breakfast too (bread, fruits, squash, coffee/tea/chocolate, milk). I recommend it. The only this was the beds. Not all of them were very confortable.
Z. G.
All staff were great. The building was old. Even though they cleaned you can not say its clean because off decoration and furniture etc. The bed was old and was not comfortable as well. it's so cheap. If you don't mind stay there.
T. E.
Not the best neighbourhood, new rooms were much nicer than the old ones. Not allowed to drink own drinks but personnel is very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was basic but decent (toast and jams and some juice)
M. H.
Only stayed for one night, greeted by a very helpful and friendly desk attendant. All the amenities you could need were provided. I stayed in the pod room and was very comfortable. Location is a little sketchy but otherwise ideal accommodation
A. A.
So far, so good. This office or factory conversion is very close to the Digbeth National Express coach station. It is also a modest walk into the City Centre and the railway stations. When I have had my FREE breakfast I will update my impression.
M. T.
Breakfast was toast with a variety of jams, juice, and fruit. Shower was very odd to operate (3/10 on was the first temperatute i could bear: 4-10 were scalding hot)so if you don't understand yours I recommend moving to another stall. Pleasant common room as well, close to Birmingham Coach Station and walkable to downtown stations.
E.
1) I suggest more room for the guests, less beds in a room 2) the structure is old, maybe with something new it would be great
3) I met fantastic people: the staff is nice and they make anything to help you.
4) if you arrive by coach the position of the hotel is strategic
C. S.
BCB is easily accessible from the airport either by bus or train. It is also very close from town but the location is a bit dodgy - it is in the middle of a industrial quarter so walking around at night seem a bit too risky, even though I don't know the reputation of the area security wise.
There's free breakfast included which is great and handy - toast, butter, chocolate spread, milk, tea, fruits... Guests can also use the kitchen but as there are no grocery shops around one needs to plan their cheap meals in advanced.
The common room has two areas with TV and sofas for guests to chill. The whole place is pretty clean and well organised. My room was a 6-bed mixed dorm clean and warm (my bed was just beside the radiator so it was even too hot at night), with no lockers and no bedside lamp. I was lucky enough to have a power socket just beside my bed but not every bed had one. The toilets and showers were always clean and organised, I can't complain.
It's good value for money. The only absulte downside is the dodgy location and I only wouldnt recommend it to women coming to the city to party or planning to come back to the hostel alone late at night.
Also, there are no city maps available at the hostel - this might be something with the city council as it was quite difficult to find maps - so make sure you print your own.
D. N.
A "vintage" hostel with mismatched & sagging furniture in the common area, a good (but small) kitchen, and decent beds & baths. Close to the coach station but a 15 minute walk uphill to the nightlife area, and there are few restos and no supermarkets nearby. They have a bar, so no outside alcohol is allowed. Ask for dorm #9 which has ensuite showers & sinks (but no toilet) and privacy curtains.
R. B.
Doesn't seem to be in the nicest location, near to alot of all night clubs and used needles on the ground outside. Although good if you're attending said clubs. Access is easy 24/7 and they've got a decent communal space with a bar.
a. w.
Very friendly & nice atmosphere with breakfast.
They keep it clean.
J. D.
Very cosy place, it is fantastic that it has free breakfast and that it's possible to use the kitchen whenever you want,
Super nice staff, Good location near the center and both the coach and train stations. I will certainly came back!
M. P.
A good option on a low budget. It's clean, has great showers, and while the breakfast is the usual basic hostel affair, they throw in fresh fruit and a good selection to dress your toast.
L. D.
good price, very clean and adequate space. there is even breakfast!
J. D. M.
Very friendly staff and basic but good breakfast including fruits (orange, apple, banana). The single room terrific! Totally recommended
G. O.
Great place if you're backpacking through Birmingham. Right at the city center and close to everything. There free WiFi, free parking and free breakfast. There is a kitchen so you can cook your food as well. There's a club Lab11 just around the corner so great nightlife too.
A.
Decent place to stay for cheap, beds all of varying quality and thickness. OK to stay for a few days. Didn't really use the bar at all so can't comment
M. R.
Mediocre accommodations, low price.
Nice enough place, decent people.
Tea is free, and there's toast in the morning.
Bathrooms could be cleaner.
j. b. (. J. b.
Good centrally located hostel. You need to check in before midnight otherwise you get charged an extra £5. Okish breakfast with fruit and peanut butter. Loads of teas and coffees. Great lounge area with free wi-fi.
C. J.
The staff are great very friendly and down to earth and special mention manager Sam 😉 for being very professional. Whilst here i made full use of the amazing commercial kitchen facilities 😂 as proved by the photo's of the meals i was banging out
T.
Lock broke on original room, so was moved then forced to check out for several hours the next day so I 'didn't wake people up' by moving rooms.
Free breakfast was toast and fruit.
A. M.
Overall a good hostel. Location could be improved (dodgy area at night, pounding club music through the night), but it could be worse. The rooms were good, beds were already made which is also nice. The breakfast is basic but free, so can't complain. Overall good hostel
T. V.
it's located really close to the train station and has many facilities like WiFi, lounge and free coffee and tea. No all rooms have easily accessible power sockets, but there are plenty of them in the lounge.
B. S.
A convenient place to stay and walk to public transportation. It was clean and had a fun common room. Not the safest feeling location but we did not have any problems.
O. S.
Quite rooms. Good strength WiFi. Little air ventilation to the room would have been better.
t. p.
Good vibe. Good location. Clean. It has a very large common area that had cool decor. People were hanging out so there was an atmosphere but it wasn't crowded or loud.
Lots of outlets and WiFi was really fast. Lots of showers. Toast with fruit and ten times of ham for brkf. Overall a great hostel.
A. F.
Very conveniently located, close to the bus station. Rooms are clean, bathrooms are well maintained. The common area is very comfortable with lots of seating, attached to the kitchen which has all the necessary utensils.
S. H.
I would have given 5 stars except after going to the toilet this one time, I found there was no toilet paper 😒 Other than that, the staff are awesome, the main communial area is really cool, a good covered smoking area & a bar & it's very close to the bus station 😁 I would stay there again 🙏🏻
A. E.
Friendly vibe, adequate facilities. Free breakfast was adequate but nothing to be desired. Beds were in a box formation that allowed people to get sleep even when others entered at night.
J. J.
These are all just basic stuff. You got a room and thats it. No covers for bed.
Breakfast:very basic; toast, jam butter etc. Bananna, orange,
And then we have to wash our own dishes..!
P. Z.
Good accommodation in city centre. Easy access to National Express. WiFi on site. Breakfast included. Perfect location to find new friends 😀 This is very basic accommodation 🍸🍺🍪🍞🍜
J. T.
The room was a bit stuffy, but what else could you expect from a budget accomodation in the middle of british summer (however rare that might seem)? Also, they have fruit at breakfast. And free tea/coffee all day round.
A. G.
Great location, great and simple free breakfast, friendly staff and I was comfortable!
J.
Staff were super helpful and chatty. A very welcoming feeling when you walk in. Super cosy common room and the bedrooms were fine.
H. M. L.
It's a lovely place, well decorated, great ambience. Staff was nice and helpful. It wasn't my first time there, and if I ever decide to come back to Birmingham, I'd come back to BCB.
L. J. B.
Cheap, cheerful with a very welcoming vibe, easy to get to, especially from the Digbeth coach station! Quiet at night and a good free breakfast, would recommend!
S. T.
Nice staff, good rooms and breakfast (mostly toast and some fruit) included. Not really quiet, A truck made a lot of noise outside really early in the morning and you can hear everything in the Corridor from your room. But in general good experience.
T. M.
well, I am travelling alone, with a small hand carry and was hoping it would be as good as the ones back in London. even though its not shabby at all, infact the value for money is high because its located in such a de***ding area. I thought it would cost me more but I got lucky.

great place for an affordable stay right on the centre of birmingham

Very cheap, got what I expected for the price. However the upstairs shower was broken, and the downstairs ones are not accessible at night. Very inconvenient if you arrive late and leave early.

Value for money, much less pricey than a hotel. Shared toilets can be awkward in a morning but that's expected

Can't fault it really! It's not the most picturesque hostel and the surroundings look a bit sketchy (Digbeth) but I never felt unsafe and it's really a very convenient location. Can be a bit hard to find at night as the sign isn't illuminated. Nevertheless the staff were super friendly, the place was very clean and there's fruit/tea/coffee available throughout the day free of charge. I would say the female dorm is a bit cramped if it's fully booked + suitcases but the beds are comfortable. Weekends can be noisy at night due to Digbeth's surrounding nightlife but they do have night porters staffed to enforce quiet hours. Overall I'll definitely return!
M. M. K. P.
It's not that bad
H. B.
Found this to be excellent. Beds were basic, but we were only there for an overnight visit, as a place to sleep after a few beers while watchong a band in town.
I don't understand reviews saying no communial area as there was a dining area where you could sit and chat with others?
I didn't know about the WiFi, but I don't trust using bank cards while on public WiFi. So I never tried to connect to it.

(Translated) I lived there for 4 consecutive months. The defects are typical of all English clubs but I was fine. The external bathrooms are many, comfortable and clean. Some showers have no toilet and it is encouraging for a hygiene factor. The kitchen is small but clean.
(Original)
Ci ho vissuto 4 mesi consecutivi. I difetti sono tipici di tutti i locali inglesi ma mi sono trovato bene. I bagni esterni sono tanti, comodi e puliti. Alcune docce sono senza gabinetto ed è incoraggiante per un fattore di igiene. La cucina è piccolina ma pulita.

(Translated) I spent a week, it felt like home. The staff are so nice and sweet ...
I made friends;
we had free breakfast and coffee all day. There was the European Football Cup, they put on the giant screen like in the movies. Super memories. I add that it was user-friendly and very clean. Thank you all
(Original)
J’ai passé une semaine, j’étais comme à la maison. Le personnel est tellement gentil et doux...
je me suis fais des amis;
on avait le petit déjeuner gratuit et du café toute la journée. Il y avait la coupe d’Europe de Football, ils avaient mis l’écran géant comme au cinéma. Super-souvenirs. Je précise que c’était convivial et très propre. Merci à tous

离New Street挺近的,步行12分钟左右,不过那条街稍微有点儿偏,气氛很……emm就是晚上有点让人害怕。 旁边有家酒吧,晚上直到半夜都很吵,音乐很大声。 没有空调,屋里比较闷。 没有柜子和桌子,较拥挤。 免费早餐不错,前台服务不错,很耐心细致。 退房简单,直接把房卡扔到那个盒子里就OK。 每层一个浴室一个厕所一个厨房,高峰期需要等一阵儿。 总的来说这个价格还是比较符合的。

(Translated) The best hostel I've ever been to! Inexpensive accommodation, great service! The lady saw that I was probably a bit nervous on the first lonely night in a hotel and in a different country, but she explained everything very well.
There are plenty of amenities inside, a kitchen at your disposal, a common room, a great bed, contacts and lamps right next to it, location literally two minutes from the bus station, if you spend a night in Birmingham, it's just there!
(Original)
Najlepszy hostel, w jakim kiedykolwiek byłam! Nocleg niedrogi, obsługa wspaniała! Pani widziała, że chyba trochę się denerwuję pierwszą samotną nocą w hotelu i to w innym kraju, ale świetnie wszystko wytłumaczyła.
W środku mnóstwo udogodnien, kuchnia do dyspozycji, pokój wspólny, wielkie łóżko, kontakty i lampki zaraz obok, lokalizacja dosłownie dwie minuty od stacji busów, jeśli nocleg w Birmingham, to tylko tam!

(Translated) Very simple rooms with shared bathroom, always open reception where you can have breakfast, watch a movie or relax. Very friendly staff. Remember to wash the dishes you use;)
(Original)
Camere molto semplici con bagno in comune, reception sempre aperta nella quale si può fare colazione, vedere un film o rilassarsi. Personale molto cordiale. Ricordatevi di lavare le stoviglie che usate ;)

(Translated) Correct rooms but little room to store clothes. Great family atmosphere although a noisy neighborhood at night. Perfect wifi
(Original)
Habitaciones correctas pero escasas de sitio para guardar la ropa. Gran ambiente familiar aunque un barrio ruidoso por la noche. Wifi perfecto

(Translated) THOUGH LOCATED AWAY FROM MAIN STREET AND RAILWAY IS BEHIND THE PROPERTY, THE FACILITY ITSELF IS VERY GOOD AND TIDY. ALSO, WI-FI IS AVAILABLE IN ALL OF THE AREA, INCLUDING THE ROOM, AND COACH TERMINAL IS NEARBY(WITHIN 4 MINUTES WALK), HOWEVER, TRAIN STATION IS A LITTLE BIT FAR. YOU SHOULD TAKE A BUS IF YOU HAVE SOME LUGGAGES(ANYWAY, NOT IN WALKING DISTANCE). AND THE LIVING ROOM IS AMAZINGLY WIDE. ALSO YOU CAN COOK FOR YOUR MEALS, BUT, LOOKING FOR SHOPS IS TRICKY AROUND HERE. ANYWAY, A NICE PLACE TO STAY.
It's a bit far from the main road (about 4 minutes from the bus terminal) and a railroad passes right behind it, but the facility itself is very neat and good. Wi-Fi available everywhere, not just in the room. As mentioned earlier, close to the bus terminal (about 5 minutes by bus from Birmingham train station, but not within walking distance anyway).
The living room including the reception is very spacious, and although small, there is also a kitchen. However, it may be difficult to prepare ingredients because it is difficult to find a supermarket nearby. Not bad for a stay anyway.

큰길에선 좀 거리가 있고(버스터미널 기준 약 4분 정도 거리) 바로 뒤로 철길이 지나가기는 하지만 시설 자체는 매우 깔끔하고 좋음. 방안만이 아니라 모든 데서 다 와이파이 가능. 앞서 언급했듯 버스터미널이 가까움(버밍엄 기차역 기준으로는 버스 5분 정도. 어쨌거나 걸어갈만한 거리는 아님).
리셉션 포함한 거실도 굉장히 넓으며 조그마하지만 부엌도 있음. 그런데 주변에서 슈퍼 찾기가 힘들어서 식자재 준비하기는 힘들 수도. 어쨌든 머무르기에는 나쁘지 않음.

(Translated) But yes, come on ....... it is fine.
The carpet on the floor ... the beds with curtains ... the showers with humidity, heat, electronic and technological regulators ... Top: D
Breakfast in the morning with many different sauces (jams) ... obviously the legendary NUTELLA and good music could not be missing ... otherwise it cannot be called Hostel: P

Ma si si dai.......si sta bene.
La moquette a terra......i letti con le tende....le docce con il regolatore di umidità, di calore , elettronico e tecnologico...Top :D
La colazione la mattina con tante salse (marmellate) diverse......ovviamente non poteva mancare la mitica NUTELLA ed una buona musica......sennò non può chiamarsi Ostello :P

(Translated) An organized hostel, with good attention, above all I can highlight the cleanliness in all its areas, bathrooms and bedrooms, the beds or bunk beds are well made, comfortable and without noise. Excellent price-quality ratio Recommended 👍🏻👏🛌

(Translated) I was at ease, ideal for those who do not have too many pretensions to be served, here you get by and wash the dishes! Close to the center and to every means of getting around, a friendly environment, there is also a large screen in the hall with good movies to watch. Backpacker Daniele
(Original)
Sono stato a mio agio, ideale per chi non ha troppe pretese di essere servito, qui ti arrangi e ti lavi i piatti! Vicino al centro e ad ogni mezzo per spostarsi, ambiente friendly, c'è pure maxischermo nella hall con bei film da guardare. Backpacker Daniele

(Translated) Cheap Hostel in the center of Birmingham with lovely service. In the morning breakfast from 8-11 forms of toast with jam, peanut butter or nutella. For this fruit and coffee / tea to the stop. And that's the end of what's good. Cramped rooms, very few bathrooms (3 showers for over 30 people), linen very poorly matched. But this is not a holiday. Nevertheless, I recommend it.
(Original)
Tani Hostel w centrum Birmingham z cudowną obsługą. Rano śniadanie od 8-11 postaci tostów z dżemem, masłem orzechowym lub nutellą. Do tego owoce oraz kawa/herbata do oporu. I to koniec tego co dobre. Pokoje ciasne, łazienek bardzo mało (3 prysznice dla ponad 30-tu osób), pościel bardzo przechodzona. Ale przecież to nie wczasy. Mimo wszystko polecam.

(Translated) The location is a little bit off, next door is a car repair shop, behind is a very old bridge (I didn't study what bridge is), all around it is deserted, especially for girls who travel alone to choose carefully. Just walk out of the street at the door, very close to the national coach station, 5 minutes walk. The reception of the hostel is a bar, very special, the accommodation is in the next building, a little shabby
(Original)
位置有点偏,隔壁是个汽修厂,后面是个很古老的大桥(没去研究是啥桥),四周荒无人烟,特别是单独出行的女孩子慎选。走出门口这条街就好了,离national coach station非常近,走路5分钟到。旅社接待处是个酒吧,蛮特别的,住宿在隔壁楼,略简陋
P. S.
(Translated) Like any hostel with the risk of falling into a room of 6 with snorers, no respect, noisy ...
If not bosses agreableng petit dej hearty in a nice setting
(Original)
Comme tout auberge de jeunesse avec le risque de tomber dans une chambre de 6 avec ronfleur, aucun respect, bruyant...
Si non patrons agréableng petit dej copieux dans un cadre sympathique

(Translated) Average hostel, has quality breakfast and proximity to the bus station and the main train station of the city, but sins in having no in-room safes, tight corridors, uncomfortable beds
(Original)
Hostel médio, tem como qualidade o café da manhã e a proximidade com a estação de bus e a principal estação de trem da cidade, mas peca em não ter cofres no quarto, corredores apertados, camas desconfortáveis

(Translated) Inexpensive alternative to staying in Birmingham. However, you shouldn't have great demands on comfort. Coat hooks in the rooms would be a great improvement.
(Original)
Preisgünstige Alternative in Birmingham zu übernachten. Allerdings darf man keine großen Ansprüche an Bequemlichkeit haben. Kleiderhaken in den Zimmern wären schon eine tolle Verbesserung.

(Translated) The location of the Birmingham Central Backpackers is pretty much ideal for exploring Birmingham. You shouldn't forget that you are booking a hostel accommodation and not a hotel, but then you will be satisfied here. The common room in particular is really nicely decorated and invites you to linger.
(Original)
Die Lage des Birmingham Central Backpackers ist so ziemlich optimal für das Erkunden von Birmingham. Man darf nicht vergessen, dass man eine Hostel-Unterkunft bucht und nicht ein Hotel, dann wird man hier aber zufrieden. Insbesondere der Gemeinschaftsraum ist wirklich nett eingerichtet und lädt zum Verweilen ein.
