For the first time I can remember I was asked for photo id or no stay. Eventually I found an old email sending a redacted copy of my passport and that was accepted. The confirmation email MAY have mentioned it but who reads those for a stay in the UK? Radiators obviously need bleeding as it sounded like we were bivvying next to a bleeding waterfall! Basic facilities, no tea /coffee etc, but quiet and otherwise comfortable.

Okay but not suitable for longer stays

Room was very cold, heating wasn't working - they are currently doing refurb works so think that may have been part of the problem. Staff were on the whole very friendly and helpful. There could be more consistency in service however - most staff didn't charge to make a cup of tea for instance but one morning another member of staff did charge so very much depends on who you get! Convenient that it's a few mins walk from the city centre.

Overall it was great for the price. But they did start doing hallway construction at 7am which was super loud. And despite having the do not disturb sign on the door someone walked in while we were getting dressed and they didn’t even knock.

Booking this hotel, I questioned paying £80 for four adults on a Friday night ahead of a Mersyside Derby. However, we got there, the location is very central, the hostel was clean in itself, the lift looked a final destination style life. The room we got was great and exactly what I'd expect for £80 but clean, tidy, good spacious bathroom. Well worth the money we paid and would definitely return. Staff were not overly talkative but if thats my downfall from an £80 (£20pp) stay then so be it.
