Hi, I will be moving to Manchester from Glasgow very soon because I will be playing in a band here that get paid gigs regularly. I feel that staying in a Hostel will be the best option for me till I get a flat here for myself,do you offer a “weekly rate” or anything?
May 13th, 2013 at 14:01Stayed at Hatters in April, the staff were really nice, they knew good places to shop, eat and go out and were happy to tell us
staying at hatters in liverpool next and i hope its the same.
May 12th, 2012 at 17:24Hi! I’m looking to book a room for a night because I’m going to a gig in april, but before I book I was just wondering if there were any night buses in manchester that ran between oxford road and your place, or if there are any reliable taxi services you could reccomend?
February 23rd, 2012 at 21:24I’d look for thr buses myself but the timetables just confuse me.
x
Hey there!!
There are tons of night buses that run along Oxford road, to and from Piccadilly Gardens, which is just around the corner from us!!
February 25th, 2012 at 22:57Hope to see you soon!!
Is it a problem if I can’t arrive exactly at the hour I noticed when I made the booking?
February 15th, 2012 at 00:58Hello!!
Not at all!! Our reception is open 24 hours, so you can arrive at whenever you wish!!
Hope to see you soon, and safe journey!!
February 16th, 2012 at 21:22How far is it to Old Trafford with bus/metro?
January 19th, 2012 at 20:05Hey there!!
You can get to the Old Trafford stadium in 15 mins on the tram!! The closest tram stop to us is in Piccadilly Gardens, which is a 2 min walk!!
Hope this helps!!
January 24th, 2012 at 21:28Hi, I’m foreign students who want to stay in manchester for 15nights in your hotel could you please tell me if a single room is available from 17march? and what are the comodities? thank you!
January 16th, 2012 at 12:03Hello,
I’ll be here on the 27th of Jan & was wondering about the easiest way (& safest way) to get to the 02 apollo from the hostel for a gig, as I will be on my own…
January 10th, 2012 at 12:18Hello!!
You can easily and safely get to the O2 Apollo from our hostel on the bus!! It’s takes about 5mins!!
Hope this helps!!
January 13th, 2012 at 21:41Hello,
January 6th, 2012 at 04:28I have a question before making a reservation.
We’re going to stay 1night on Feb 10th night. Do you guys can store our luggage whilst we’re out for watching EPL game on 11th Feb? probably will take about 5 hours. If that’s possible, we’d like to stay at yours.
Please send me back. Thank you.
Hey there!!
Of course!! We have a secure luggage room, where you can leave your bags for free until you leave the city!!
January 13th, 2012 at 21:37Hope to see you soon!!
Awesome place! Really close to a lot of good night life venues and placed right in the Northern Quarter. Friendly staff who are very helpful and easy-going. Particularly our new friend Kirsty who works behind the desk
December 15th, 2011 at 19:22Only thing that wasn’t so good was the heat of the rooms. Often woke up dehydrated but that was easily solved by a bottle of water.
Well worth staying in!!
Thanks Sam
January 29th, 2012 at 17:19Hope we see you around
Hi lady and gent,
December 4th, 2011 at 02:21Made a booking for 22nd June 2012 in Manchester so I can go and see Bruce. However, as I don’t drive and have no intention of leaving the country in the near future is there another form of I.D that is suitable. I have a citizen card and could also bring a payslip or scan my birth certificate.
Any chance this would be acceptable?
With thanks,
Edward. Anderson
Hi. As long as the citizen card has a photo then it’ll be fine. We do require some sort of photo ID to conform to legal regulations.
Regards Hatters.
December 12th, 2011 at 13:43would I be able to make a late check-in so that I could make a stay after a music event?
November 30th, 2011 at 15:01Hi. We have 24 hour reception, so don’t panic if you arrive a little late!
Regards Hatters.
December 12th, 2011 at 14:12I’ve reserved your hostel from January 12. However there are important mail I received from London. So can you recieve that important mail for me? My arrival time is expected at 3:00 PM. Jan 12
November 28th, 2011 at 15:36Hi. Of course we can receive mail for you. We’ll keep it aside for you until you arrive.
Regards Hatters.
December 12th, 2011 at 13:41Hi there I am moving to Manchester in late March/early April and I am just wondering if it is possible to book a room for the night and pay the nightly rate?
November 27th, 2011 at 23:18Hi there !
Can’t believe I didn’t leave a comment !!!
I stayed a few nights at your hostel in March with my 15 years old nephew.
We had a very nice time with you. Everyone was helpful and kind, and Manchester … wow … what a nice place !
The hostel is situated near the centre so it was just perfect !
My nephew loved to sleep in a dormitory, even though he always sleeps in 5 stars hotels when travelling with his parents !!! That was a very interesting experience for him !
I think that if we come back to Manchester … we will stay at your hostel again, that’s for sure !
Thanks again for your day to day assistance, your kindness and your smile !
Cheers !
October 17th, 2011 at 21:44Hey Laurie
Thanks for your comment we look forward to seeing you again

September 18th, 2011 at 14:17Hey, I wondered if you keep a free charge luggage room for every kind of room guest (4, 8 or 18 beds). I’ve got a big suitcase and well.. I’d like to keep it save!
Btw, if I’m gonna be around MMU during my trip.. which hostel of these two you got.. is closer? Thank you.
August 10th, 2011 at 11:17Greetings Kafka!!
August 16th, 2011 at 11:24Thanks for your inquiry!! We provide free luggage storage for all guests who stay with us at Hatters, so don’t worry about your big suitcase!!! We also have lockers, where you can store smaller valuables safely!
Both of our Hatters hostels in Manchester are situated in the Northern Quarter of the city center, and this area is no more than a 15min walk to the MMU buildings!
See you soon hopefully!!!

Hi Isa,
Unfortunately we do not accept anyone under the age of 16 in our hostel, sorry that we cannot accommodate you on this occasion. Also we do not have parking, as we are right in the city center there are many NCP, open air and road parking.
If you would like to make a reservation in the future with just over 16s, you can do so either by emailing, phoning or through the website.
Many thanks,
June 8th, 2011 at 12:33The Hatters Team
i’m planning on booking for 18th june, 4 girls and one boy, is it ok to have mixed sex in one room? and if there’s 5 of us in a 4/6 dorm, do we have to pay for the extra bed? also what time is check in/out? thanks!
May 23rd, 2011 at 19:09Hi Michelle!
Yes we offer 4,6,8,10 and 18 Bed Mixed dorms. If you require the dorm to be private then yes, you would have to pay for the extra bed between yourselves. If you don’t mind sharing with another/others then you just have to pay for the beds that you would use. You can check in any time after 2pm and check out is by 11am.
Thanks,
June 8th, 2011 at 11:42The Hatters Team
How near to the station and the Lowry theatre is the hostel?

Rose.
Do you have personal lockers besides safekeeping for small items at reception?
May 20th, 2011 at 01:48Hi Hyeonjeong Kim,
Yes we have lockers in the reception foyer and the TV lounge, it’s best to bring your own padlock as we are sold out at the moment! Alternatively there are many shops in the area which you can buy one from. We also offer a luggage room and a safety deposit box in our office should you require them.
Kind regards,

Could you kindly let me know if you do have availability for the given dates, please?

December 15th, 2010 at 13:11what is walking distance from Hatters to Manchester Central venue?
November 26th, 2010 at 10:22If you mean the city centre by “Manchester Central” we’re in it! The area we’re in is called the Northern Quarter and is 5-10 mins walk to most places in the city centre!
November 26th, 2010 at 12:21‘Manchester Central’ ? -they could mean the new name for GMex
January 25th, 2011 at 12:33Exactly it !!!!
January 26th, 2011 at 19:44Hiya, just wondering if you have parking? thank you x

November 25th, 2010 at 11:51We do not have any allocated parking spaces, but you can park on the street. It is free after 6pm til 8am and all day on Sundays and Bank Holidays. Alternatively, we can show you couple of unsecure, cheap (£2 for 24h) or slightly more expensive, secure NCP’s.
Thx
Hatters Team
Hey there, unfortunately we don’t but there are a few options. On Port Street, which is directly behind our Newton street hostel, is a car park which has very good city centre rates. Otherwise there is a car park on Ducie Street which is about £8.00 overnight. Then there’s the NCP car parks which are all over the place if a little pricey!
November 26th, 2010 at 12:27Hello
I have a question about towels and sleeping blankets

We have an answer about towels and sleeping blankets… There is no need to bring any bedding with you as all of our hostels supply clean, fresh linen and fluffy pillows! Our private rooms include towels and we rent towels for a small fee of £1 to those enjoying our dormitory facilities.
We look forward to seeing you!
