What guests think
At Malacuna Manchester, travelers highlight a central location, friendly staff, and decent-value, no-frills rooms, while recurring downsides include loud late-night noise from nearby bars and a nightclub, occasional refurb disruptions, and rooms that can run hot.
Many guests find beds comfortable with privacy curtains, and value luggage storage, a simple communal lounge, and helpful touches like earplugs. Cleanliness is generally acceptable but inconsistent, with some reports of messy or understocked bathrooms. Expect a central, budget stay with lively surroundings rather than a quiet, fully equipped hotel.

Everyone was really lovely, the location was perfect; it was close to the train station and close to Piccadilly Gardens. Really kind and lovely receptionists . Nothing to say there and The property itself is quite trendy and there's renovations going on, which wasn't too disruptive. Unfortunately, the amount of bathrooms in the the property are inadequate as there were only 2 available, one of the bathrooms had a detached toilet. The cleanliness of these bathrooms was lacking or simply too many guests make a mess. My food was munched by someone else even when labelled correctly and some of the guest were loud and obnoxious late in the night.

Great location. Private room was great (no frills but very cute decor) aside from needing to pay extra for a towel (towel costs £4 but is large and plush). I don't recommend anyone who is a light sleeper to stay here though. Weekends are loud with music from local bars, and even Monday and Tuesday nights there were drunk bar goers being loud in the street until about 2am. It's totally safe though, and other than that, a perfect location and very comfortable.

The location is great, just a couple blocks away from Piccadilly. The pods were nice, and it was good to have a curtain for privacy. It was frustrating because the wifi was down for the entire stay, and the electricity only worked for a few hours at night because there was a lot of work being done. I had booked the hostel to finish some online work before traveling, so it was quite annoying that I had to go elsewhere to find a good internet connection. Also, the hostel lists laundry facilities as being available—that's not true. There is no washer/dryer at this location for guests.

A well-organized hostel with clean sheets, curtains on the beds, bathroom in the room and centrally-located. The entrance is tricky to locate - it's between the two bars. There is some repair work on the building going on. It smells of paint a bit

In a funny way I quite liked this place and preferred it to the slick anonymoty of other budget hotels. However, it bore no ressemblance to the photos, I think the social space was being redone when I was there because there were lots of builders and scoffolding about. I had to change rooms because the lights didn't work in the room I'd been given, but the room I was swapped to smelt really strongly of paint, which was quite unpleasant. It was huge and airy, with a huge red stripe across the celing and down the wall and purple neon light, so a bit like sleeping in a repurposed nightclub - which of course, might be what some people are after. The next morning I walked downstairs and then realised that I had maroon gloss paint on my hands because the banisters had be painted. A wet paint sign would have been useful. My top tips, make sure you have your own tea, coffee, milk etc because none of that is provided. Bring earplugs unless you are good at sleeping in noisy places.

Good value in excellent location. A little noisier than we expected being above a bar however the ear plugs were a welcome addition. The room was clean and compact but could of done with a chair and some glasses for drinks of water as we were’t sure whose were who’s in the communal area. It was really warm and you couldn’t open the windows however there was good fan. The communal area is nice and modern. You can leave luggage whilst you shop in a locker room which is great. Thank you

The room itself was quite cramped. There was hardly any room to open the door to enter without it almost hitting the bunks. The bed pods are in great condition and the locks work well. The privacy curtains are super great, and it was nice that they provided a fan because the room got really warm at night. The bathroom was very clean, and the room was pretty well soundproofed even though it faced the street. Check in was easy, and it was nice that check out was so late. Also, the staff are very friendly, and there is plenty of room for luggage storage. Highly recommend.

This was my third time staying in this hostel. I booked the same kind of room each time around, and each experience as been incredibly different. Sometimes there's loads of space and other times you can barely get the door open. Sometimes it's really clean, other times the drains are clogged and there are bed bugs. Sometimes the bed pods appear brand new and other times they seem like they're falling apart. It's difficult to tell what mix of things you'll end up with.

The location of the property is fantastic, central to the Northern Quarter. However until early hours in the morning you could hear the music and the customers in the bars across the road and downstairs really clearly through the single paned windows, we also were woken up around 8am with bottle bins being emptied rather loudly. You could also hear everything that went on in neighbouring rooms and corridors. We struggled to get any hot water in the shower and the Overall cleanliness could have been a bit better in the bathroom, clean the showerheads and fix toilet seat fittings. The staff were spot on, very friendly and happy to help.

The room seems not really well maintained as it looks a bit old and no usb charging port in the room is so inconvenient. Besides, it is quite noisy outside at night even staying on the 2nd floor.

House, room and bed were totally fine. We liked the design. Bathroom was okay, but there must be a carpet for the wet floor. Location is actually perfect and we knew that it could be loud, but music and base were terribly loud til 3am and not bearable. Even earplugs did not help. Maybe it's okay, if you're drunk and tired enough, just be warned.

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.

The hostel phoned me from a foreign number over WhatsApp to cancel the booking just three days before the stay. Mindful of scams, I tried to find the property's contact details but they are not even listed on Google Maps. Nobody replied when I phoned using the number listed by Expedia. The hostel offered no compensation and made no attempt to help me find alternatives. It then took four attempts over the course of one week to organise a refund via Expedia. A really poor experience all round.

Staff were lovely, property was clean, room was nice, area was central and very convenient. The only problem was that there was a party in the downstairs area directly under our room. It sounded as if the party was actually IN our room and it continued until after 3pm. I was offered ear plugs which were freely available in a basket on the front desk so it must be a common problem. Had an awful night's sleep. If you can cope with noise you will be fine here or otherwise think carefully.

Location
Very central in the Northern Quarter near Piccadilly and Victoria stations, with shops, restaurants and nightlife steps away. Convenience is a clear positive, though the lively setting contributes to nighttime noise.

A well-organized hostel with clean sheets, curtains on the beds, bathroom in the room and centrally-located. The entrance is tricky to locate - it's between the two bars. There is some repair work on the building going on. It smells of paint a bit

Great location and comfortable stay for a private room in the heart of Manchester. Close to all transit, comfortable on a budget. It even has an elevator if needed. We stayed mid week so it wasn’t too loud but I could see that possibly being an issue at night.

Listen, I read lots of really bad comments about this place, but I needed a cheap, clean room in the centre of Manchester for one night. Did I get it ? yes. Was it cheap ? yes. Was it clean ? yes. Was it warm ? yes. Was it noisy ? no. Did it serve eggs benedict for breakfast ? No. This place does what it says it does, it's no frilly and it's not plush, it's a decent cheap room in the middle of Manchester City Centre. So, if you want more than that, please go to your Hilton or Radisson or whatever and pay 3 or 4 times as much and stop giving this place such a bad time in terms of reviews.

Nice economy accommodation with walking distance to everything in Manchester. I had a single economy room. Which was perfect. Room alone, shared bathroom it was fine. The breakfast wasbin partnership of Wilson's which was perfectly fine. Had a shared kitchen, which I just passed by and refilled my water bottle. Overall if tou looking for a cheap / economy accommodation with walking distance and a super helpful staff. You can have shared room with X beds or a private bedroom with or without a bathroom.

Dreadful stay. We booked for 2 nights and left after the first night. We understood the room would be small and cramped and bathroom was tiny but what made it unbearable was the noise. This place is on top of a bar and the area has bars and pubs all around it playing dance music until 2:30am. The room is on the 1st floor and not sound proof. We could literally feel the base vibrate the room at times. Told staff about this and all I got back was that unfortunately this is the reality of staying with them. They did offer free breakfast, which we appreciated.
