Birmingham Central Backpackers

Great location 5 minutes walk from the coach station and 10 minutes walk to The Bullring Shopping Mall. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and booked me in straight away and showed me to my dormitory bed, showers, toilets and kitchen. My bed was warm and comfortable with a privacy curtain, locker and electric socket. Breakfast included apples, oranges, bananas, bread/toast with jams, marmalades, peanut butter, Nutella and tea/ coffee. It had a nice lounge area for chilling out with free tea and coffee anytime of day. Kitchen for cooking yourself with a microwave and refrigerator for storing food. Would definitely stay here again and thoroughly enjoyed my 6 nights here.

Great value, very comfy bed, 24 hour access all made it great. The complimentary breakfast bar (toast, coffee, etc) was a pleasant surprise in the morning

Organised and helpful staff. Entrance with code and code cards, heavy, safe doors, CCTVs. Lots of showers and bathrooms. All clean and with air-wicks [you can rent towels]. Comfortable wooden bunk beds with curtains, power sockets, good stairs to climb. A big-enough locker [take your own safety lock or buy a good one at the reception]. Spacious, clean kitchen. Good, refurbished and clean social area. Good house rules that keep the place low noise and orderly (no loud phone calls, media devices w/o headphones, wash and clean your stuff etc.), rules are reinforced thanks to staff and regulars. A mix of different visitors and nationalities – backpackers, regulars, for work or tourism. 15-25min walk to get around, bus stop/station, train station. Safe room to lock your belongings if you need to [free of charge when staying].

It was an amazing stay second time in the backpackers the staff is is amazing I could honestly mention Visha for being the bestest at all the time. An hard working asset for the Organisation.

I spent three nights here and, as a female single traveler, it was an amazing experience. The position of the hostel is central - the centre area is reachable in a 10 minutes walk - and Digbeth itself is a really interesting neighbourhood to walk through. Beside me being alone, I didn’t feel scared at all walking back at midnight. The rooms were clean and super nice - had my little bed and closet. The bathrooms were at my surprise always clean and available. Overall I had the most comfortable stay. The staff as well was really friendly and welcoming, got upgraded in an all-female bedroom for free and had some really nice chats with the receptionists. Absolutely recommended.
