2009 was a great year for us at Birmingham Central Backpackers! It was a year full of hard work, meeting amazing people, and learning how to make our hostel even better. We couldn’t have done it without the advice and support of our beloved guests. Thanks to your input and us being smart enough to follow it we were given numerous honours and awards that we are proud to share with you……

Not enough there to convince that we are THE place to stay yet? Well, our common area is by far the coolest and funkiest around. Based in what used to be a pub, it has often described as a "technicolour explosion" you just have to see to believe. All we know is that our common room has got a cool laid back atmosphere that's easy to meet other people in, and we do weekly activities for guests, like pool tournaments, movie and free pizza nights, pub quizzes and BBQs. Comfy and cosy are the words used to describe our common room. It is a great place to socialize with new mates and drink a cold beer from our bar selling international beer favourites and cocktails while warming up in front of our fireplace. Need a snack or forget something? Its no problem as we sell travel essentials and a selection of crisps, and snacks to feed you, that is if you are still hungry after pigging out from our free nightly snack buffet!
So what kind of rooms do we have to offer? At Birmingham Central, we have got it all. We have private singles and twin rooms which are equipped with tea and coffee making facilities, TV and DVD player and book and movie library. We also have dorm rooms that hold between 4 and 8 people. Most dorm rooms have lockers, a sink and shower but toilet facilities are shared.
New in May we also created our 8 bed pod dorm to add a new level of privacy to backpacking. Based on the Japanese capsule design, each pod has a 360 degree private reading light, locker, extra comfy mattress, and curtain so you can have the utmost privacy if that’s what you are looking for. At BCB, we have something for everyone.
Do you want to stay somewhere that really is city centre located because you don’t want to pay for transport? That’s smart thinking because who wants to lug their belongings far distances across town when you first arrive-not to mention the cost of taking taxis and buses that can really add up. When we say we are centrally located, we mean it!
