We have loads of board games to play, a pool table, Nintendo Wii and X-Box stations as well as a tourist information centre full of brochures and maps to help you make the most of your visit to Birmingham. The laid back atmosphere at Birmingham Central provides a greatbase to relax and recover from your city centre explorations, and as we’ve been told by numerous guests, it’s more like staying with friends than at a hostel.
Our common room is one of the best around, and in addition to our amenities, we also offer abackpacker trivia quiz twice a week,bowling competitions on the Nintendo Wii, movies on the largescreen, and live sports when possible. Since our backpackers’ is smoke-free, we have an outdoor patio with a garden where guests that smoke can enjoy a cigarette.

Rooms
4-8 people in each room. In our second building (a two-minute walk from the main building) we also offer dorm rooms and a private twin room.
At Birmingham Central's main building, most rooms have a shower, sink and mirror, but toilets are shared and located down the hall. Our rooms are brightly painted and cheerfully decorated and most have lockable storage facilities, so bring a lock or you can purchase one for £1.00 at reception. If you are in a room without lockers, we can lock away your valuables at the reception for you.
New to 2008 is our POD room. This is a self enclosed POD bunk bed. They are a good choice to those that have never stayed in a hostel but want the hostel experience with some privacy when sleeping.
In our second building all bathroom facilities are shared and not located in the rooms. Building two houses a private room and some dorm rooms. Please note, anyone booked into building 2 has complete access to all facilities at the main building.
