Staff were okay - ish. I want my money back though... due to the outstanding negative: the location and the noise!!!

I got there and stayed less than an hour despite wanting to stay the night. No one stated that the place was right next to a night club. Considering it was only 3pm, next door had the walls vibrating with their heavy bass and screaming coming from the windows. I absolutely knew I wouldn't be able to bear it, so I left. complete waste of money!

The people running Central Backpackers are really sweet and understanding (in my case very understanding). The bunk bed I had in the mixed room was good, with a curtain to maintain some privacy, and with a power socket to charge phone etc. Also good are the spacious lockers within the room, and if you forget your padlock, as I did, they sell a really good one. The kitchen facilities are 100% good.

The public area is like a waiting room, with a TV blaring sports most of the time. Not much natural light. The bathrooms could pay more attention to women's needs. The location is desolate, but that's not the hostel's fault.

It was good, the staff were friendly. Good place with good people. They offered breakfast in the morning, which is good.

My room was a bit small with 6 bunk beds, if it would have extra space and little more neat ( providing room freshener) I would be great

Lovely staff great location decent place good price and location is great to get to city centre in minutes

Only thing is I had this guy put his stuff on my bed I requested a bottom bunk, you are given a bunk number when you check in and this fella was trying to nick my bed. I told reception they moved his stuff off my bed, onto the side I goes to bed. And get woken up by this clown screaming at me I told him go reception this isn't your bed. He did Arthur on reception sorted it but the guy wouldn't let it be for the whole week I was there trying to cause problems why people can't follow simple information and have a little respect for others but that's not Birmingham back packers hostel fault apart from that I love the place.

The staff.. the facilities.. the volunteers.. everyone was fantastic from the get go. It was always clean, even had the football on in the lounge each day. would 100% stay here again.

I liked the location and the fact that the rooms had lockers for belongings to be kept in. I also liked that you were able to check in up until a very late hour in the day.

I did not like the noise coming from the corridors. I also did not like that the showers were not as clean as they could have been.

Good location for Digbeth events, secure, friendly staff, comfy beds

Room was quite small and warm front facing
