Andrea, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was beautiful. It had plenty of personality and was very clean. The hotel is well situated to things to do, with night life in Canal Street and lots of restuarants, bars and sightseeing within a 10/20 minute walk.
MC, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely room, couldn’t fault it bar the bathroom sink wouldn’t empty and it was a bit dusty above the bed (it might’ve been the lighting making that look worse).
IAIN, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The whole stay was perfect. Glass of prosecco whilst booking in was a nice surprise. Everything was easy and nothing rushed. Room..perfect, clean, spacious and a decent shower as well.

Happy guest

Staff were very friendly and helpful! Location was great, the room itself was okay, but the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was great, shower was stunning. Would happily stay again
Ronan, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

The room was run down, the lighting was terrible so the room was dingy. The coffee machine was filthy. The corridors smelled of cannabis, and it was very noisy.

Alistair, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Lift didn’t work Room was tatty with stains and it was a continental breakfast made up behind curtains and delivered to your room . Asked for refund but didn’t get it . £12.60 for two still water and a cola when water should be free. For £300 a night .
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel which definitely had his glory and needs an update. Uncomfortable bed, stained bed throw and mold in the bathroom didn’t add anything positive to my stay . Don’t think I’ll stay there again .

Best central manchester hotel

Cant fault a single thing. Attentive friendly staff spacious immaculately clean room. Excellent price for the calibre. Would happily stay again
Mathew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, glass on Prosecco on arrival was a lovely touch. The breakfast was included as a room service which was nice. The only slight negative, it was quite noisy. I don’t mean noise from outside, we were prepared for that due to location. It was inside noise - other noisy guests coming and going.
Miroslava, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Average stay for Manchester

Rooms were small but OK. Breakfast was Continental with no choice and served in the room. Parking was 5 min walk away and £25 per day. With the discount the hotel was offering it came to £46 with a checkin at 11:00am and checkout at 4:00pm the next day. Overall good experience but costly.
