Birmingham Central Backpackers

Basic hostel, bathrooms could do with some more frequent upkeep to keep the floor dry, sociable lounge area, good free breakfast, free parking as the hostel is in a quiet area, easy walk to the center of the city.

Very central location, though off of the main road and accessed by streets that didn't feel especially safe, particularly after dark. Staff quite brusque. The bedroom smelled damp and was quite cramped with three sets of bunk beds in it. No lockers inside of the room and only one plug with an extension cable for six people. The window was boarded over. Showers looked as though they hadn't been cleaned since morning (four out of order) and the toilets smelled of urine. Wouldn't recommend.

Auberge sympa et personnel très accueillant et arrangeant. Cependant le quartier n’est pas rassurant la nuit.

Stayed here for one night before setting off on a charity walk to Watford on the Grand Union canal. It was convenient for the station and the canal plus reasonably priced. We arrived fairly late so did not interact with many people but everyone we met seemed friendly. The free breakfast was nice and the provision of free towels also handy. The bed was fairly comfortable and the rooms, albeit basic, were good. Would recommend to anyone wanting a no frills stay for a good price in Birmingham.

This place was SHADY!!! The location is in the middle of nowhere with a lot of graffiti. The staff were smoking weed and it was a dingy place. The dorms had no lockers to put valuables which made me uneasy. It's a place for vagrants. The staff were nice but it felt dirty and I didn't like one minute there. STAY AWAY!!!

The mattress was quite bad and there are too many beds crammed into the dorm for the size of it. It was frustrating that all the lockers were full so I had no where to safely store my laptop - which the staff seemed fairly indifferent about. Saying all this though, some staff members were helpful and it's incredibly good value for money.

Basic hostel, could do with a deep clean and some investment in facilities. No lockers and not enough showers given the number of beds. Good value and location however.

Nice visit, the room didn't seem to lock / was confusing? Will be better when showers are working. Toilets far from room. Overall a good place to stay.

Insgesamt ist das Hostel okay, vor allem wegen des recht guten Preises und der zentrumsnahen Lage. Allerdings war die Matratze in meinem Bett absolut durchgelegen, so dass ich nicht gut geschlafen habe. In dem Doppelzimmer gab es keinerlei Schrank oder ähnliches. Auch war die Sauberkeit im Bad nicht optimal und war es super kalt. Die Rezeption ist nett eingerichtet und die Mitarbeiter freundlich. Man ist unter 10 Minuten im Zentrum. Für 1-2 Nächte okay, aber nicht für länger.

Fantastic place to stay. Comfy beds, good security, big rooms, and only about 10 minutes walk from the main train station.
