Although it was a day trip, I had a good time lodging at PH Hostel. Maybe because of my height, the beds were small for me lol. Overall, it was good.

Friendly, quirky hostel in a convenient location by the Jewellery Quarter. Great value for money with friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of places to charge phones etc and good quality WiFi. Only improvement I'd suggest is the beds, which were roomy but not the most comfortable.

Great value, as good as a hotel. Lovely decor.

Booked one of the rooms. Incredibly good value. Nice toiletries in bathroom and bed was comfortable. £4 towel offer a good deal and great way to reduce environmental impact. Only downside was the front door opening and closing was very loud - I think the room was right above it.

Very enjoyable

We totally enjoyed the time we stayed in the PHhostel with the three staff we saw, very friendly, funny and very helpful when we needed anything. We only had one issue we didn’t like and that was the bathroom situation as each time we went to it, we found it to be dirty, no toilet roll or very messy.

Clean comfy base

Staff very helpful and friendly at check in. Got to honest wasn’t expecting a lot with it being a hostel but it was great. Rooms could just do with a good clean. But it was warm and comfortable providing a good base for visiting Birmingham. Just do homework on where to park if travelling by car.
