I stayed in the all female 6 bedroom dorm, with ensuite bathroom (shower and toilet) for the 6 of us to share.
It was reasonably clean and quiet, with the bed both and curtain providing nice privacy.
However, the wifi did not extend to the room (had to go to common area for internet) and the mattress was extremely springy (could feel every single spring bore into my back all night).
The room is just as stated when ordering. The beds are comfy and while my stay was for a night and booked because the price was affordable i enjoyed the atmosphere and friendliness of staff. I would book again .
Absolutely loved it. The loft room was amazing. Everything you need, lovely decor, friendly staff.
We liked it so much we booked the PH Manchester for the following night!
It was nice being upgraded on the to a better room. The receptionist was really nice and even played the piano for us. The rooms are large but the rooms facing the rail tracks don't have windows that open. Overall it's a great hostel and has a good modern look
Friendly and welcoming. The room was simple and clean, exactly as expected from the photo when booking. Great night's sleep with a crisp, clean duvet š.
Returning customer here.as a matter of fact, when it comes to choosing a stay in a hostel I always go for PH hostels.
Quiet area, clean throughout, all good
Really friendly staff, loved the communal area. Comfortable room and great location

Pros- cheap / I really like the modern/loft style decor in the entrance and hallways, didnāt have to wait to use bathroom, good central location and not too far from station
Cons- toilet didnāt flush, shower was cold (and the heat regulating dial had broken off), shampoo barely lathered up at all, teeny weeny bin

The guy when I checked in wasn't particularly welcoming, and there were stains on the quilt and the bathroom floor was pretty grubby.
