Nice, good value hotel, with nothing really to dislike if you have reasonable expectations.
Stayed two nights for Sounds of the City at Castlefield Bowl, and the location is a c.15 minute walk to Deansgate, so convenient for that area of Manchester and connecting public transport services.
Check in was efficient and quick. Staff were friendly, courteous and professional. My room was clean, comfortable and a good size, with all the basic amenities provided. I had no issues to raise about the room or the hotel during my stay.
Based on my experience I would definitely use the hotel again.
