Malacuna Manchester gets strong praise for its central Northern Quarter location and friendly staff, with many guests finding rooms comfortable and generally clean, but frequent comments highlight late-night noise from nearby bars and variable temperature control affecting sleep quality.
Cleanliness feedback is mostly positive, though some mention dusty areas, bathroom maintenance issues, or occasional cleanliness lapses. Facilities feel simple but practical, with communal kitchens, bunk curtains and lockers, and luggage storage; some note ongoing refurbishment. Breakfast reviews are mixed, ranging from excellent to poorly managed, and a few guests mention Wi-Fi problems. Overall, expect a budget-friendly stay that suits heavy sleepers and city explorers more than those seeking quiet.

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.

Start my phone Liam and helpful upon arrival facilities in communal rooms relatively clean going through refurbishment so can’t imagine will be much more improved once finished. Bed was clean and comfortable however room a bit nosy but that comes with sharing a room in hostel. Overall would recommend located near the main station and close to all shops and bars in town.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.
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.

Lovely staff and reallly helpful! The room was very tidy, beds SO comfortable, and the kitchen had loads of room and equipment to use. One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Breakfast feedback is mixed: several guests praise it as excellent, while others report long waits or poor management; in some cases, breakfast is served next door. On-site self-catering kitchens are available.

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.

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 female room with 4 beds and bathroom inside.The madras is not the best. A big and week equipped kitchen but not so clean ( it needs a better finish ). The WC near the kitchen was a little bit dirty. But when you say about this kind of small problem to the reception they use to fix soon. The hostel location is perfect perfect 👌 The price is ok for Manchester.
