Almost everything I like about this hostel. I booked for a bed in 4 shared bedroom. It’s really beautiful and I stayed for 6 days 5 nights. My purpose was to travel Manchester while writing up my debut novel aim to be published next year. The hostel is really beautiful, the drawings on the wall make the hostel stands out! I stayed in a hostel in London, it was so terrible sharing 3 bunk bed, but this hostel serves 2 bunk bed which provides bigger height, so that I can sit properly inside the compartment, bigger width compartment. In terms of toilet, it’s really spacious with bath tub that I will not get that in London (even they also provides liquid soap which I really impressed!). The sink is bigger so that the water will not splash out. The lobby is really beautiful with plants and dark green wall, where I work on my laptop there.

Freedom Hostel in Manchester is truly one of a kind. 🏡 Neil and his amazing mum Sue 👩‍👦 made me feel completely at home – even inviting me to a lovely dinner 🍽️! The hostel has a warm, open-minded vibe 🤝 with friendly guests from all backgrounds 🌐. It’s in a quiet area 🌳 and feels more like a family than a hostel 🧡. The house is open 24/7 🕒, and the two cute dogs 🐶🐶 might bark at first 🐾 but they’re super friendly. Neil is a great host 👏 kind, professional, and full of travel wisdom ✈️🌎. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cozy and unique place to stay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
