   I always stay here if I'm in need of a cheap place to crash in Birmingham, the staff are always helpful, the beds are comfy and there's free breakfast options including vegan food. It's a really good location, not too far from the city center and perfect if you're going to the o2 Institute. Its easy to make friends in the lounge playing games if you're a solo traveller too!

   Good hostel. Beds were comfortable, could help yourself to tea and coffee and it was clean throughout the building. To have a bed for the night and a decent shower for £19, you can't really complain.

   I've been here four times now. So far, all is perfect. Staff is friendly, rooms are accomodating, toilets and bathrooms are clean, and free breakfast too. It's very close to the Birmingham coach station, and only a 5-minute walk from the newstreet station.

   Two visits, both warmly received — each offering a fresh and slightly different vibe. A place to break cycles, soften thought patterns, and share space with pleasant strangers — some keeping to themselves, others exchanging a light word while preparing breakfast or lending a hand. Both experiences were positive, each in its own tone. I would return if needed, and I recommend it to others. The organisation is thoughtful, with labelled personal kitchen items (though not essential in my case, labels are provided at the reception). Guidance is clear: breakfast served 07:00–11:00 (as of 27/08/25, subject to change). Overall — relaxed, peaceful, and well-held.

   Birmingham Central Backpackers is hands down the best hostel I’ve stayed in! Everything was spotless the rooms were comfortable, and the bathrooms and toilets were always perfectly clean. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making it feel like a home away from home. A special mention to the front desk staff they were incredibly polite, friendly, and helpful throughout my stay. Their warm hospitality made my experience even better. I truly loved my time here and can’t wait to return. In fact, I’m already planning my next visit next month!

   Great hostel, great staff and management....always helpful and positive.... Stayed for a good 5-6 weeks after returning from living abroad. Plenty of improvements...new common area and kitchen, some free breakfast, toast, fruits and spreads and tea and coffee.... The pods in the 15 bed dorms are the best for privacy and comfort to sleep.... They dont rip you off for a towel or laundry etc either, fair, reasonable and a great place to stay of you're solo

   Great location, tidy rooms and bathroom (!). Only minutes is lack of locks, plugs to load phone during the night and curtains. I'll definitely come back!

   If was very comfortable. Toilets were clean n tidy, hot water on. Rooms were cozy and warm. Location is very near to bus station and train station.The only problem was they didnt have a board outside saying the name of the hotel, hence locating it was hard. There was a banner with the hotel name but wasnt visible in all dark. That's the only thing that could be made better.

   Genuinely couldn't fault it. We stayed here because for some reason the night we were staying had absolutely no availability cheaper than £200 a night, so was a bit hesitant to book a hostel. We stayed in a private room which had tea/coffee (if you want more than one tea, bring extra milk) plus a really good power shower and a private bathroom. Bed was comfy, room was a good temperature and had a massive window you could open if you're someone who runs hot like me. Booked again for December when we're back over in England for a gig.

   Fab little youth hostel. The renovated section is clean, replete with little pods and privacy curtains. Showers and toilets are also extremely clean and high quality. Lots of the guests are there on a semi long term basis it seems - waiting for uni accom etc - so it’s not exactly a party place (I went early September, but great location and facilities all the same.
