Welcome to Birmingham Central Backpackers

Looking for a place to stay in Birmingham's city centre that is walking distance to Birmingham's famous sites, easy on your wallet, and a great place to meet new friends? Then search no further, the best place for you to stay is with us- at Birmingham Central Backpackers. We are Birmingham's only true backpacker accommodation created by backpackers with backpackers' needs at heart. 

You can't beat the location here at Birmingham Central Backpackers. Since we are right in the middle of the city centre you can save big money on public transport and taxis because we are walking distance to main attractions like the lively pubs and clubs of Broad Street, the exciting Arcadian complex, Birmingham's Gay quarter on Hurst Street, and the theatre district. In addition, we are mere streets away from the Custard Factory and many local clubs like Barfly, Air and The Sanctuary. New Street and Moor Street train stations are only a five minute walk from Birmingham Central, and we are a one minute walk from the newly relocated Digbeth Coach Station.  In addition, the bus to Birmingham Airport and the NEC leave from the Digbeth High Street, just one street away from us.

New in May 2008 is the creation of our ultra sleek looking POD room. Built and designed to purpose by an amazing local construction company, our  POD beds are a self-contained unit based on the Japanese capsule design, only more spacious. They offer you more privacy than a traditional bunk  because they are enclosed. Each POD bed has a comfy mattress, 360 degree moveable reading light and private lockers to store your valuables-you bring the lock.

At Birmingham Central we offer you more for your money. With our central location, worldly staff, and easy going atmosphere, you cannot ask for a better place to stay while enjoying the brilliance England’s second city has to offer.
