Malacuna Manchester

Standard Room, room was clean enough, could have been vacuumed better. Bed was ok, not the most comfortable. Towels were provided in standard room. Reception staff were friendly and helpful. Did not go to shared kitchen.

Amazing as usual! My goy to place in manchester!

Amazing as usual! My go to place in manchester

Delightful stay at Hostel Macarena. We were greeted by the incredibly friendly and helpful Maria, who was so welcoming and informative. The room was spotless, the beds were very comfy, and everything felt clean and well looked after. I’d definitely come back next time I’m in Manchester.

Disappointing stay with multiple avoidable issues. The room was cold on arrival and there was no way to control the heating from inside the room, reception had to access a locked cupboard outside the room to switch it on, and the receptionist seemed frustrated when I asked for help. After eating out, the room became too hot, but I didn’t feel comfortable walking down to request help from the receptionist again, so I opened the window instead, however it was very noisy from bars and nightclubs below which also meant I slept very little, with no ear plugs or mitigation offered. The room also did not match what was advertised as there was no desk which I needed to do my work from and the shower lever was stiff and difficult to switch off. Breakfast was poorly managed, I waited around 15 minutes for a coffee, was served vegan eggs because I requested non-dairy milk, then waited a further 30 minutes for eggs that never arrived and then was told it would be better to leave rather than wait for the scrambled eggs. To make matters worse, I saw a mouse in the communal kitchen area and then noticed multiple mouse traps, suggesting an ongoing problem. The only reason I didn’t give it a 1 star was because the receptionist/assistant manager named Anna was seemed genuinely empathetic and extended checkout by an hour due to breakfast delays, offered support all which I appreciated, but unfortunately, the overall experience was unacceptable and I would not stay again.

Room was very clean. Kitchen was clean and well stocked. They provide ear plugs if you need them. Only thing they didn't provide was a lock for the locker in the room. Each bunk bed had its own light & privacy curtain. The staff were kind and eager to help.

It was our first time staying but we would definitely stay again! The woman on reception was friendly and helpful. The room was large and clean . Location was excellent!

Clean room and bathroom. Great staffs. Even greater location. Quite satisfied with my stay.

We’ve stayed here a few times and always been great but unfortunately this time the noise at 2am from a private party was unbearable

Nice staff, clean room, very comfortable bed.

Excellent location, staff were friendly, room was clean, bed was comfortable. I didn’t check the communal kitchen area out at all because I didn’t need it, but I expect it was probably very clean. Take your own padlock. There are cages to put your belongings in, but they don't come with locks. Front desk seems to be manned 24 hours a day.

Room was in below average condition - the radiator was leaking and the floor was very dusty. The window didn't keep out much external street noise. However, the staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming.

It was just ok. They turn the heat of in the room i was coldi left very early . Reception staff were. Very nice i chatted for a while with them . The place is clean

Yes , everything is OK

staff were amazing and was so cozy

Room was clean and well-furnished, staff were friendly and unintrusive. The music outside stopped shortly after midnight, which was ideal.

The room I was allocated with my 10 year old son was right above a bar/nightclub with music blaring out until 3.00am. I asked to be moved but there were no other rooms available. If you want to pay for sleep deprivation and noise torture stay at the Malacuna. It was horrific and the worst stay I have ever had in a hotel.

Booked for 1 night in a female 4 person shared bunk room, reception Staff nice & chatty - booked in one hour after 3pm & both of bottom bunks were taken & two people sleeping with a pile of mess on floor , So asked for another room, not knowing it would be a mixed gender bunk room, So person below me was a man & he left toilet seat UP plus did not flush toilet after use !!! I did not Shower in our shared bathroom but i went back home to Shower !! Told reception on Check out that a male was put in Bed below me & i did not know till early morning hours . So if that bother's you, advise is do not Stay here. Shared Kitchen- fabulous & had Sofa's & a cooker & microwave, plus it is Clean. Cage for bag or fits a small suitcase, bring a small-padlock as none are available to buy at this hotel.

Good location. Clean and bright.

I stayed at Manchester's 'non hostel' for two nights. Before I arrived, I was intrigued by it's quirky nature. The receptionist at check in was lovely. Once presented with my key, I went in search of my room. Where were the door numbers? On the ceiling above the door, of course! I was cold in bed the first night (there was no seperate heating control in my room) and when the warm air heating kicked in in the morning, the room became unbearably hot. Another (lovely) receptionist said she would turn the heating down - it then became too cold. This process repeated itself. Obviously, the heating control (which covers the whole floor apparently) is far too sensitive. (Odd that the corridors and other communal areas were heated perfectly). I had similar issues with the shower, which, despite considering myself an intelligent man, I could not fathom. The shower ran hot or cold, with seemingly no options in-between. (One of the shower panels also detached itself whilst I was struggling with the controls).The room was basic, but fine - a quirky neon light behind the headboard added a certain je ne sais pas - though any hotel room lacking a TV is, I think, something of an oversight. The (well equipped) comunal kitchen was a very welcome bonus. I really, really wanted to enjoy my stay at this great place in a great location. I think I did; perhaps there were just too many 'teething' problems
