YHA Manchester Hostel Potato Wharf, Salford M3 4NB

"Stayed here for a few nights as it was cheapest I could find and had stayed in other YHA hostels before. They always amaze me how they keep the same standard through all their places; friendly staff, great rooms and cheap food+drink. Location is in an awesome place and has a great view of the canal. Only a 5-10 minute walk away from all the shops too!"

"We stayed NYE. Amazing place, staff were friendly and helpful. Place was lovely and super clean. Loved the location next to canal and easy walking distance to city centre. Food was amazing, great value. I had the Mac n cheese which was tasty and came with salad and fries. The smoothies were to die for, much needed health boost the morning after! Car park facilities were free and they allowed us to stay till midnight following day meaning we had chance t chill the next day and sober up before driving home. Will definitely be returning for more Manchester gigs!"

"Love youth hostels. The atmosphere is amazingly friendly and warm and welcoming. The common area is great. The location is amazing and the breakfast was delicious. The rooms are clean. The beds aren't brilliantly comfy. But it's still brilliant for the price."

"A great hostel, with bar and breakfast. We arrived around mid-night and the bar was open for beers and food, which was awesome. The bedrooms were super clean and warm. The bathroom didn’t have pressure on the watwr and was small, but it was inside the room so we didn’t have to go to the one at the end of the corridor."

"From check-in, we were welcomed at this location by its staff. It was my first time staying in Manchester when I stayed at this YHA location. It was a good spot to really take in the character of the city (mainly its proximity to the canals). The hostel has pretty much everything you need such as a kitchen, hang-out area (in the main floor near check-in), luggage room, etc. Our room was alright, we had plenty of storage and our own bathroom with a shower. My only suggestion for the future is to include a step or a platform to reach the bathroom floor (as the entrance is above the ground) as it's a bit difficult to do so without nearly tripping, especially at night. Any stores you need to get to are within walking distance (about 5-10 minutes) along with the tram station. There's also a bus stop, restaurant, and a museum nearby."
