Dreadful - it’s supposed to be 4 star but it doesn’t deserve any. Probably the worst hotel I’ve stayed in years.

The room and bathroom were both clean. I would have preferred a firmer pillow.
Breakfast on our first morning,the staff were struggling to keep up with demand on the hot breakfast. My daughter and I had to wait for hash browns and black pudding.
Everything was hot though.

This hotel is located about a 20 mins walk to Broad Street and the Utilita Arena so ideal if going to an event there. Hotel is clean, the staff are very welcoming and helpful. Room was clean & comfortable. Breakfast was lovely, with plenty of choice - cooked breakfast, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, pastries & toast plus some other options available on the menu. The buffet was regularly replenished. Would consider staying again if we book tickets for an event in the future.

Hotel needs upgrading
Hotel was very tired. Friendly staff on reception. Best bit of the room was the shower room which looked like it had been recently fitted. Good quality fixtures & fittings. Bedroom area however was tired & dated. Quite a bit of dust & cobwebs on upper parts of the walls.Floors very creaky. There was a wedding on which we weren’t warned about & it was noisy. The music was turned off at twelve but then lots of noise with guests moving about. It is an old building & the floors & stairs are very creaky. It could be a beautiful hotel but it is badly in need of an upgrade in the rooms & communal areas.
However the location was good for access to city centre & the staff were very friendly.

Fair/Good overall, room needs a little work.
Very nice hotel lobby and bar area, decorated beautifully for Christmas.
The staff was friendly and accommodating.
The route to my room on the 1st floor (rm 111) was difficult because of all the stairs (I'd recommend replacing them with ramps). Also, in an effort to be green, the lights in the newer wing would be off and come on as you passed under them, giving the hall a very creepy, uninviting vibe.
The room was clean except for the hairdryer which was weirdly sticky. The linens need to be updated. My duvet had a hole in the lining and the mattress protector kept slipping off every night because the elastic was shot. The bed was comfortable enough, but it could probably use a new mattress.
My only real criticism is the bathroom, which needs to be updated. Please put glass in the shower/tub because there's nothing worse than having a shower curtain touching you while showering.

Would stay again
It was a good stay. Reception staff helpful and room good. No bottled water in the room was a surprise.
The restaurant was for breakfast only and the expectation was that you would order food in.
The location was convenient for me and I’d stay there again.

Good traditional hotel
Good hotel at reasonable price just outside city centre. Large comfortable and clean bedroom with good facilities. Very good cooked and continental breakfast.
Only downside was the hotel has no lift and quite a long walk from reception to bedroom up stairs and winding corridors. We did get lost on one occasion

Disappointing
Not a bad location for visiting Broad St/Brindley Place with tram stop a short walk away. Reception wasn’t manned when we arrived and it took some time to find someone to check us in. We found the same in the bar, had to wait for someone to appear to get a drink! Hotel is very tired, fixtures and fittings damaged and dated. Looked clean on the surface but shower curtains filthy and stained, thick dust on doors, bed head and shower gel container empty. Bath panel damaged and shower head thick with calcification, could definitely use some viakal! Windows draughty and hard to close. A wedding was taking place during our stay and although the music ended at midnight, there was continued noise until the guests had dispersed. Had we been aware of this event, we may have stayed elsewhere. On a positive, the bed was very comfy and bedding and towels of nice quality.
