      This backpackers hostel is in the outskirts the immediate City Centre a short walk from the Bull Ring and Central shopping

    Access - close to local bus routes and only about 100 meters from the coach station it is in a back street with various industrial premises and a large railway viaduct alongside. I could see that some people might not feel comfortable in the dark although I found it fine. Level access from the street.

    The hostel - there is a large comfortable living area with free tea and coffee as well as WiFi, as well as a well equipped kitchen The reception staff on duty was really great and very friendly. My bed was in a different building which requires a door code. The room was a long thin one with triple decker bunks built in a big improvement to the normal bunks. Each bed had a full length privacy curtain which I thought was great. The bed was comfortable and although it had its own socket there was no light, a minor problem with most people having phones. The showers were clean and worked well. The price (£10) included a breakfast but I had to be up early so can’t comment on it.

    I liked it a lot and will return
