Situated in the Castlefield, the historic area of the city, YHA Manchester is within easy walking distance of shops, pubs, night clubs - in fact, everything in the city centre. It's ideal for foreign travellers, or just those needing a night stopover in Manchester. Forget your preconceptions of youth hostels - this is more like a hotel than anything! I paid £19 for an ensuite room with a TV, kettle and lockable storage space. This also includes breakfast, which is an impressive choice of a full English / Vegetarian or Continental.
There is 24-hour access to the hostel and parking for those who arrive with a car. For all the guests, there is use of a lounge, TV lounge, games room with pool table, laundry facilities, canal side restaurant with table licence, self-catering kitchen, secure lockers, foreign currency exchange and free bed linen. It's the best youth hostel I've ever been to and I was very surprised at the high standards of the place. It's large, very modern, clean and spacious enough that there's peace and privacy for each guest. The evening meal is not included in the price, but for under a fiver you can buy a good value three-course meal.
To conclude, if you need somewhere to stay overnight in the city, look no further than YHA Manchester. It's just like a hotel or B&B and will cost you the fraction of the price. I'll definitely be going back there.

A good opinion which provides all the necessary detail in a compact format. I have only stayed in YHA hostels in London, but on those few occasions have always been satisfied.
