2 handpicked hostels in Manchester, sorted by traveler rating.
Manchester is the UK's music capital and post-industrial cool — Northern Quarter indie bars, Castlefield canal-side calm, the Smiths/Joy Division heritage circuit, and the football tribalism of Old Trafford and the Etihad. 552k residents, 100k students, sideways rain six months a year, and the warmest welcome of any English city. Backpacker base is the NQ for nightlife or Castlefield for canal-side calm.
