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.

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 .

Great Hotel

The chek in was easy, quick and straight forward. The hotel is spotless, the room as very big and was a lovely place to relax in, and again spotless. Lovely shower and all in all an excellent experience.
Ryan, 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.

Great place to stay

Our stay here was very good the bed is mega comfy, the hotel is very clean and the service from the staff is very friendly
Martin, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Reception gentleman was rude, Lifts didnt work, so you had to walk up 3x stairs to go and leave rooms (*quite annoying with Baggage). WI-FI was very poor, and ended up having to pay for an EE service to do anything. Screen Sharing didnt work! Overall, really bad experience......

David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good hotel, good staff, don’t have breakfast.

Very nice stay - room aircon wasn’t working initially but moved to an alternative instead and all was well. Credit to Martin on reception for his helpfulness. Wouldn’t bother with the breakfast though - not worth it at all for the price, just a croissant and jam. Many better options locally.
Rob, 3-night trip

Incredibly friendly and helpful staff!
3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Close enough to be able to walk to where I wanted to go. Huge bath, lovely glass of bubbles on arrival, staff on check in were lovely, the man on the desk at 4am didn’t understand when I asked if he had lemonade I could buy. Lifts were out of order, one was sign posted the other we just found out it was out of order when myself and another traveller were stood waiting and no lift came down. Signs to my room needed to be more clear too.
