    Thank you very much for handing back my mobile to me (which I unconsciously dropped somewhere in the hostel). The only thing I would improve is the cleanliness of the shower rooms. The one I used was very wet all over which wasn't very pleasant.

    I've stayed here any time I've been in Manchester and it isn't bad at all. What you'd expect from a busy city hostel, but it is possible to sleep or party depending on your mood - most of the action is on the ground floor, and in my experience the dorms and singles are very clean. Luggage can... more

    Hatters is one of the best hostels I have stayed in the UK. The staff were vry helpful and friendly. The location is about as good as it gets. The facilities were excellent, and the cost was very reasonable. Thanks for a great stay!

    24 hour breakfast of toast and tea. The hostel has spacious showers and a nice common area, kitchen, and TV room. Overall, the Hatter's Hostel chain is very good.

    Great location and most of the staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. We only stayed for one night but it served its purpose well. There wasn't a bar but they were happy for us to bring our own drinks in. Would most likely stay here again if in Manchester.

    Excellent Location. Free wifi, nice communal room and kitchen . Some Irish folks threw a party and seemed to be having fun. Nice but not always helpful staff.The mens room and the hall for dorm 103 smell bad as well. Even though they had lockers available on the ground floor, I was disappointed... more

    This hostel was fantastic. As soon as you open the door it's warm and welcoming. The kitchen area really promotes socialising and is very well equipped. It's definitely not cold, the beds are comfortable and the whole place is very clean. I would recommend this hostel to anyone!

    Everything was great except that a window and lock was missing on one of men's toilet stalls/booths. Free toast and tea were a huge plus. Staff were friendly and nice. Cleanliness was good as far as hostels go. Will definitely stay there next time I'm in Madchester!!!

    Why did they seriously recommend a steakhouse when we asked for a vegetarian restaurant? Staff not very helpful, common room etc not very cosy, but ok, especially if you don´t stay for a long time. Their environmental policy is great, though.

    Was only overnight stay and the hostel was very quiet, hence the mark for 'fun', 'not applicable' would be more suitable.
