Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The spacious and comfortable rooms were great; however, missing special touches like a banner and bottle of prosecco for my daughter's 21st was a letdown. The service was good overall, offering amenities like dry cleaning and a welcome drink, but there was room for improvement. The location had its charms being close to the city centre, but the ongoing construction and safety concerns with metal-like soap holders were drawbacks. The dining experience varied from poor quality food to a relaxed atmosphere with plenty of variety. Overall, the facilities met basic needs, but some enhancements could be made.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and I appreciated the two chairs inside. The bed was comfy, and I couldn't hear much noise from other guests. However, the location was a bit out of the way from the center, though it had some nice bars nearby and was perfect for accessing the Arena and exploring the Northern Quarter. The service was good overall, offering dry cleaning and laundry services, and we were welcomed with a drink. The dining experience was satisfactory with a good selection, though some items like salmon or vegan options were missing. While the price was reasonable for what was offered, there were a few minor inconveniences like a leaky shower and a lack of a wide tea selection. The ongoing renovations in the area show promise of improvement.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were a nice size and had everything one would need, although they were never cleaned during my visit. The staff was very helpful, but the room felt a bit small for three people, and there were no spotlights in the center, making it quite dark at night.
Our stay was so nice for Valentine's Day in a family room. We loved all the little touches, like the excellent extras such as shoe cleaner and shower gel. However, the room was extremely cold, and the temperature controller was hard to understand.
The hotel was a mixed experience with dark rooms due to brown netting, but overall faultless service and great location. The room size was smaller than expected based on previous stays, which was a bit disappointing.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. Although the rooms were just okay for the price paid, they lacked proper cleaning and provided only one large towel for two people over two nights. On the positive side, the location was pretty convenient, being just off the main road and close to some great bars and restaurants within a short walk.
The hotel offers modern and comfortable rooms in a lovely location close to local attractions. However, cleanliness could be improved, and some amenities require separate payment.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel - the rooms were very clean, very spacious, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The service was exceptional, especially for my partner's birthday celebration. While the mold in the shower was a downside initially, it was promptly resolved after my request. I would absolutely choose to stay here again.
The hotel is in a convenient location close to the city center with quick access. My room was initially too dark, but after getting a replacement, it had all the facilities I needed. The service was friendly with options for dry cleaning and a welcome drink. The dining experience was good, although breakfast was not included. The hotel is under a regeneration project, but it's still great for sightseeing as it's within walking distance to the city center and clubs. Close to Manchester Arena for those visiting.
The hotel is in a great location, perfect for exploring the city center and local attractions. The rooms are relaxing and comfortable, although some cleaning issues were noted. The dining experience was enjoyable but slightly pricey. The service was good, offering convenient amenities like dry cleaning and laundry services.
The hotel was everything I hoped for when I booked - very stylish and well-kept with modern amenities. The staff were lovely, and I would definitely stay there again on my next visit to Manchester. The location was convenient, close to shops and the main shopping center, but slightly far from the nightlife area. Dining options were a bit limited, but the facilities were well-maintained and enjoyable.
The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to the city center yet remains a quiet retreat. The rooms are relaxing and comfortable, although a £40 deposit is required. The surrounding construction hinders the views slightly, but the proximity to public transit makes it easy to explore. The dining experience may not be to everyone's liking, but the staff is friendly and welcoming.
