Hostel Ashton House

Ashton House dates back to early 1900's and was originally built as a hotel to serve Manchester Victoria Railway Station. It is now a Grade 2 listed Victorian property. In April 2010 Ashton House was acquired by its present owners and has now been sympathetically restored to its former glory. The ground and basement floor has now been completely refurbished and has just opened as Manchester's first Boutique Hostel with over 114 beds. The hostel boasts Plasma screen TV's, 24 hour reception, 65 internal CCTV cameras, secure lockers, shared dormitory style bedrooms, both mixed for ladies and gents.
