Its a cool Hostel/Hotel in the middle of the Northern Quarter. So expect busy bar culture until late into the night. NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT PEACE AND QUIET OUTSIDE
I chose a room, which was exactly what I needed: clean, comfy bed, modern, No aircon but windows open. Separate shower & toilet, a good size and a very good price.

Dreadful stay. We booked for 2 nights and left after the first night. We understood the room would be small and cramped and bathroom was tiny but what made it unbearable was the noise. This place is on top of a bar and the area has bars and pubs all around it playing dance music until 2:30am. The room is on the 1st floor and not sound proof. We could literally feel the base vibrate the room at times. Told staff about this and all I got back was that unfortunately this is the reality of staying with them. They did offer free breakfast, which we appreciated.

This hostel was awesome. I had not stayed in a hostel in awhile, so I was a little apprehensive, but this ended up being a great experience.

I stayed in a four-person bunk room that was modern, spacious, and well designed. The bunks have thick blackout curtains that fully cover the bed, plus a charging port, light, and small storage area inside. The only small downside is that the storage shelf can be awkward if you are tall, as it is easy to bump your knee on it. Otherwise, the bed was surprisingly comfortable.

The room had lockers, a large bathroom and shower, great water pressure, and everything felt clean. The showers were cleaned daily, and I saw staff mopping and maintaining the space regularly.

Noise was not an issue for me. I was on the third floor, and although the hostel is in a busy, lively part of the Northern Quarter, it was quiet enough at night, especially with the window closed.

The attached bar/restaurant downstairs was excellent. I ate breakfast there almost every day, and hostel guests get a discount on food and drinks. The food was genuinely delicious, the staff were friendly, and there was always something going on: live music, DJs, trivia, etc.

The location is incredible. I spent most of my time in the Northern Quarter because it is lively, fun, and full of great restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and nightlife. It is walkable from the train station, though a short Uber or bus is easier.

Their pub has a nice menu and live music + the pub has AC and it’s great during heatwaves. Great place!!!!! Don’t forget the 20% discount on the menu for staying in. The location is fantastic and close to everything in the city centre. The place is well maintained and taken care of. Well done!

We had to book this hotel as our other accommodation fell through at the last minute. The attendant who checked us in was friendly and helpful but did not ask us how our stay had been when we checked out.
The room was extremely hot. We have been in the middle of a heatwave and these rooms have no air conditioning, or fans and the windows open only a crack. So why on earth we were housed on the 2nd floor where it was hottest? Of course it's not their fault it was hot, but there was no effort to help the situation. Next there were only bare essentials in the room. A.few sheets of toilet paper and no cup/glass to drink water. During the night I needed to take painkillers and was unable to. We ran out of toilet paper which is totally unacceptable for a female. Initially I thought the room was clean but I saw dust all over the pipe work and skirting. When we went to ask for toilet paper, we were given some but there was no apology at all. I realise that the room does not come with tea making facilities, but to not even be able to drink tap water is crazy to me. It also took a long time to check in.
Much could have been done differently to make our stay better but of course some of this is out of the hotels hands. But please please provide even paper cups in the rooms. And some common sense about where to put people so they don't become even hotter during a heatwave would have been sensible. And toilet paper! Awful stay, do not recommend. Even if you just need a bed for the night.

The UK is experiencing a heatwave, but rooms cool down somewhat at night with the windows open.

My room was located on second floor directly above two large outdoor air-conditioning units that continuously supply hot air to the wall and windows directly into the room. Despite running a large fan, the room never cooled down. A neighbouring guest confirmed that my room was significantly hotter than hers.

Staff said it's weather and that nothing could be done because the hotel was fully booked. After tryign to say in the room for 1 hour, I started to unable to breath so I had to leave the hotel with my bag to avoid collapsing.

I stayed at another hotel nearby and had no issues. My concern was that the room had an external heat source, making it a safety risk.

Hotels.com contacted the Malacuna for a refund, but the request was rejected on the basis that air conditioning was not included. I was not requesting air conditioning but the additional heat source should be mitigated, or the room should not be offered to guests during a heatwave.

Unfortunately, the bed was covered in hair, which made me worry that the sheets are not changed often enough. The bathroom was clean overall, although my roommate sometimes left urine on the toilet seat.

The room was quite noisy, and at times the whole hostel seemed to shake. There was constant noise both from the fan and from the bar downstairs. While this is understandable given the lively area, it might be a good idea for the hostel to provide earplugs for guests.

On a positive note, the location is very central and convenient.

This place has a lot going for it. Good location (in one sense), clean, good layout, good staff, bars and cafés nearby.
However if someone needed to sleep or have a quiet nap, this is NOT the place. It was extremely noisy until well into the morning. Also room I was in (208) was like a sauna meaning windows needed to be opened. Maybe there are rooms at the rear or side that wouldn’t have these issues. I was up at 8am to catch an early train and barely got any sleep. So despite it being a great place in many ways I wouldn’t stay there again unless I got a quieter room with air con.

Quite possibly the worst place I have ever stayed in.

Upon arrival I was told that the room was noisy because of theusoc from the bar next door (none of this was communicated in the advert for the room or at any point before check-in). I asked when would the music stop and I was told \"around midnight\". Either the person working on the front desk was new (very doubtful) or this was an outright lie (it was). The music carried on till 3am and it was impossible to fall asleep while it was going on. The management will probably reply with some excuse that because of the central location there is noise from the nightlife.. it's a lie. The bar is right below the room so the whole room is shaking from the bass and the drums, the bed is shaking and you can feel it through your entire body.

Avoid this place at all costs, they're filthy liars and scam artists. Again do not give it these scammers your money, find another place to stay at.

This is ideal to bed down after a night out in Manchester. The sounds of music from outside stop at about 4am. So if you want to sleep before then I suggest ear plugs. There are no amenities in the room like a kettle or tv just bed sink shower and toilet. The sink is in the sleeping area. I've slept in worse places when I was backpacking in the 80's. The breakfast in the morning is next door in a bar. Egg on toast, yoghurt with banana slices & blueberries and a croissant with jam. Hot drink and juice. Won't stay there again as I'm too old and need home comforts. Reminded me of a youth hostel. It will be fine for many.

Disappointing stay with multiple avoidable issues. The room was cold on arrival and there was no way to control the heating from inside the room, reception had to access a locked cupboard outside the room to switch it on, and the receptionist seemed frustrated when I asked for help. After eating out, the room became too hot, but I didn’t feel comfortable walking down to request help from the receptionist again, so I opened the window instead, however it was very noisy from bars and nightclubs below which also meant I slept very little, with no ear plugs or mitigation offered. The room also did not match what was advertised as there was no desk which I needed to do my work from and the shower lever was stiff and difficult to switch off. Breakfast was poorly managed, I waited around 15 minutes for a coffee, was served vegan eggs because I requested non-dairy milk, then waited a further 30 minutes for eggs that never arrived and then was told it would be better to leave rather than wait for the scrambled eggs. To make matters worse, I saw a mouse in the communal kitchen area and then noticed multiple mouse traps, suggesting an ongoing problem. The only reason I didn’t give it a 1 star was because the receptionist/assistant manager named Anna was seemed genuinely empathetic and extended checkout by an hour due to breakfast delays, offered support all which I appreciated, but unfortunately, the overall experience was unacceptable and I would not stay again.

I stayed at Manchester's 'non hostel' for two nights. Before I arrived, I was intrigued by it's quirky nature. The receptionist at check in was lovely. Once presented with my key, I went in search of my room. Where were the door numbers? On the ceiling above the door, of course! I was cold in bed the first night (there was no seperate heating control in my room) and when the warm air heating kicked in in the morning, the room became unbearably hot. Another (lovely) receptionist said she would turn the heating down - it then became too cold. This process repeated itself. Obviously, the heating control (which covers the whole floor apparently) is far too sensitive. (Odd that the corridors and other communal areas were heated perfectly). I had similar issues with the shower, which, despite considering myself an intelligent man, I could not fathom. The shower ran hot or cold, with seemingly no options in-between. (One of the shower panels also detached itself whilst I was struggling with the controls).The room was basic, but fine - a quirky neon light behind the headboard added a certain je ne sais pas - though any hotel room lacking a TV is, I think, something of an oversight. The (well equipped) comunal kitchen was a very welcome bonus. I really, really wanted to enjoy my stay at this great place in a great location. I think I did; perhaps there were just too many 'teething' problems

It is what is, stop bashing the place!

Listen, I read lots of really bad comments about this place, but I needed a cheap, clean room in the centre of Manchester for one night. Did I get it ? yes. Was it cheap ? yes. Was it clean ? yes. Was it warm ? yes. Was it noisy ? no. Did it serve eggs benedict for breakfast ? No.
This place does what it says it does, it's no frilly and it's not plush, it's a decent cheap room in the middle of Manchester City Centre. So, if you want more than that, please go to your Hilton or Radisson or whatever and pay 3 or 4 times as much and stop giving this place such a bad time in terms of reviews.

Maroon paint and purple neon

In a funny way I quite liked this place and preferred it to the slick anonymoty of other budget hotels. However, it bore no ressemblance to the photos, I think the social space was being redone when I was there because there were lots of builders and scoffolding about.
I had to change rooms because the lights didn't work in the room I'd been given, but the room I was swapped to smelt really strongly of paint, which was quite unpleasant. It was huge and airy, with a huge red stripe across the celing and down the wall and purple neon light, so a bit like sleeping in a repurposed nightclub - which of course, might be what some people are after.
The next morning I walked downstairs and then realised that I had maroon gloss paint on my hands because the banisters had be painted. A wet paint sign would have been useful.
My top tips, make sure you have your own tea, coffee, milk etc because none of that is provided. Bring earplugs unless you are good at sleeping in noisy places.

TERRIBLE SERVICE

We stayed in a double room. When we got to the room there were no soap in the bathroom, no toilet plunger and no trash bin… When I went to the reception she said there was nothing she could do and that we should used the floors bathroom instead until morning and she would write a note to get it fixed. Another guest gave me a soap when I was was about to leave to the room which helped for the night. Next morning and nothing had happened. I talked to the reception again and they wrote another note to get it fixed. NOTHING HAPPENED and we never got any of the stuff that was missing. I had to go and ask for toilet paper since it ran out and there was nothing but the one roll, reception said they would bring more but we only got one which also ran out. The paper was VERY THIN.

The morning of checkout we asked if we could stay 2 hours longer and was told it would be 15 pounds which we agreed to. But they had no way of paying apart from them writing down your credit card information and billing it to you which I was not comfortable with…. The girl in the reception was incredibly rude and ignored me multiple times talking to friends refusing to come up with a solution so we just decided to leave earlier. Terrible stay and I dont recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Manchester.

It was amazing! Comfy cosy beds, with curtains that fully block out the light. As per some reviews saying the music from downstris / outside was loud I brought headphones which did massively help!! (Eventhough it was was Tuesday night lol) friendly staff easy location. Locker in bed area, and belongings felt safe! Recommend

Over expectations

Went there for 3 nights with my girlfriend for the Oasis concert. We had low expectations since they offered a room for such a good price. However when we get the keycard for our room we got surprised. A big comfortable size bed, a clean bathroom and an AC, all we could ask for really. For this price and such a good location in the city, you can not ask for more! Really helpful staff with 24/7 service! Highly recommending, and I will come back!

The hostel phoned me from a foreign number over WhatsApp to cancel the booking just three days before the stay. Mindful of scams, I tried to find the property's contact details but they are not even listed on Google Maps. Nobody replied when I phoned using the number listed by Expedia. The hostel offered no compensation and made no attempt to help me find alternatives. It then took four attempts over the course of one week to organise a refund via Expedia. A really poor experience all round.

No where does it state this place is above a live music venue. When youre in the room. You are bascully in the live music venue itself. The floor and furniture vibrate and you can hear everything

An unexpected good experience

First time booking a 'hostel'. Pleasantly surprised with accommodation. Great vibrant area of Manchester to be in, with loads of restaurants, pubs, cafes etc.
Expected more internal late night noise, but didn't happen. Only negative was loud music immediately underneath us until 230am on Friday & Saturday night of stay. Reception staff were friendly and attentive.
All in all - and unexpected good experience!

Good location that you could fulfil eating and shopping. Tram stop can be accessed at around 7 minutes walk. Staff is nice and friendly. The room seems not really well maintained as it looks a bit old and no usb charging port in the room is so inconvenient. Besides, it is quite noisy outside at night even staying on the 2nd floor.

Decent

For the price, cannot complain. Its a hostel so you will be sharing with others, sometime pleasant, sometimes not. So dont expect 3-5 star service/ cleanliness.

I was satisfied with my stay, it fit the purpose.
