Large group of us booked out a few rooms for one night when we visited Birmingham, and it worked out quite cheaply (about £10/15 each for accommodation and breakfast). The location isn't great, when we were walking home in the dark, it did feel a bit creepy being by the big viaduct, and seeing lots of beer cans on the... More

We turned up, all 8 of us, ready to check in for one night only to be told our booking has been cancelled without telling us! We didn't so much as receive an email regarding this cancellation and were left homeless for the night! They still took the deposit money off me and refused to pay it back. The manger,... More

Stayed here some time ago visiting concert in Bham. Overall impression was not as good as I had with some other hostels before, but I did not spend much time in there (literally sleep only) to write proper review. On the other hand all people and hostel itself seemed to be pretty friendly and I would not be worried to... More

After using many excellent single rooms with Backpackers in Central Europe and Germany for the same price I thought I would at least try this in Birmingham. What a bad mistake. This place is filthy and in a terrible area. My room was freezing and the building was dirty. I doubt the bed sheets and linen had ever been washed.... More

I stayed at Birmingham Central Backpackers this past October, and I will definitely be staying there in the future if I head to Birmingham. Although the location did not look the safest, every thing else was great, from the exceptionally friendly and funny staff, to the free, abundant breakfast. Plus, the hostel itself is only a 5-10 minute walk from... More

the hostel is located in digbeth, one of the quarters of brum foreigners might want to avoid. at least new street station, bull ring and the central coach station are within walking distance. we got a 4-bed room in a separate building 300m off the hostel. the bed was okay, the common room was full of kitsch. prices were okay...

The hostel is central do the city. Unfortunetly didnt go to the free breakfast and snack at the evening, but this is a nice thing for a hostel. The staff was ok. The room were also ok, but a little bit small an the common room had a nice environment.

This was purely a place to crash for 1 night and so this is based purely on our visit. Location doesnt exactly feel the safest but we saw no trouble around, it just looked an area you'd plan a rumble! Hostel had a friendly reception and we were shown to our room which was a nice touch for a hostel.... More

Spent there a few nights, 3 in April and 3 in june, and both the times I was really, REALLY satisfied. Close both to the centre and the station, comfy rooms, great colours, new forniture (each room I've been in smells like wood and ikea), amazing staff, excellent breakfast, clean, amazing common room, I could go on listing positive things...
