The Extra Good:

The best thing about Hatters Hostel Manchester was how spacious the rooms were. The rooms were very large and in some of the rooms they could have easily fit some more beds in them but instead chose not to for the sake of comfort.

The Extra Bad:

The bathrooms at Hatters Hostel Manchester had a very basic look to it and reminded me of something you might expect to see in a prison or mental institution. On top of that the shower stalls used clear glass doors with distorted glass in the middle (so people could see everything but your midsection) which is less than ideal.

Hatters Hostel Manchester is a decent place to stay at even though the bathrooms could use some improvement. The location is good being near the train station in the city center, the staff was friendly and they had a good amount of free amenities on offer.
