If you are travelling alone on a tight budget, this hostel is for you. It's very close to most of the railway stations (15 mins walk) and the shopping malls. Rooms are clean. And most importantly, breakfasts are included with that low price. I think it's not bad for a trip in which you spend most of your time outside. The washroom is considerably clean, though it's located outside of the room.
For the disadvantages, the bed sheets are not very clean, or at least you cannot feel its acceptable cleanness. The blanket is ready for deep winter. So I couldn't use it at all during my stay (July). I have heard from some residents that since this hostel is considerably cheap in Birmingham, a substantial proportion of stayers are workers in the construction sites or warehouse nearby. Some of them have already formed a group. For travellers who plan to make millions of friends, you may want to know this ahead.
