The best part of my stay was the staff, they were just the best and always so nice. There was a complication with my dorm and they solved it in the best way. Everyone from the girls in the reception (Emily & Ninni u are awesome), the cleansers to the bouncers were great. When I come back it will be because off the staff and the location. The location is so good and there is walking distance to everything and I couldn’t have wished for a better hostel.

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.
