All of the staff were fantastic, everyone was so friendly and keen to help, they really made us feel welcome. All of the little perks were a wonderful touch like free hot chocolate, cookies, prosecco and antipasti. Would definitely stay again

Great location. Warm friendly welcome and very friendly and attentive staff. Lovely little extra touches with complimentary prosecco and nibbles, cookies and milk for bed and complimentary coffee.
Only negative about the room was no wardrobe or anywhere to hang clothes other than the dedicated hook on the door.

Stylish hotel with great touches. Staff friendly and professional. As with all hotels in this area, the sound from the streets in the evening was very loud. There was no aircon so we has to have the windows open and didn't sleep well. The standard king room was the smallest hotel room I've come acrosd. There was nowhere to put clothes apart from on top of bags or on the floor. Feel it should be described as a small room rather than standard. Some extra hooks would help with clothes.
We would probably stay again but only in the winter when the windows wouldnt bask for a larger top floor room.

Damp & musty lets it down
It’s a real shame as visually the hotel is very nice and effort has been put in.
However I was in one of the basement rooms and was immediately greeted with a musty damp smell.
There is no AC or extractor in the bathroom so the room is constantly damp. The hotel would really benefit from AC to clear the damp air.
I did appreciate the morning breakfast delivered to the bedroom, was a nice touch.

Great stay
Staff were super friendly and the hotel was close to everything. Got a complimentary glass of prosecco and nibbles which was a lovely gesture.
Room was in the basement and was nice and quiet so had a good sleep. Linen and pillows good quality and toiletries smelt gorgeous.

Bar was above our room and for some reason was leaking water on the floor. The water went down streight to our very small room and our luggage and clothing got all wet.

Brilliant boutique hotel in heart of Manchester!
Fabulous hotel with super friendly and thoughtful staff. Fantastic value for money especially given it's location in the heart of the Northern quarter. It was the little touches that made this hotel stand out - a complimentary glass of prosecco between 5&7 pm at the bar in reception. Which whilst compact and bijou was a beautiful place to sit. Coffee machines and fresh fruit were also available in the communal areas as complimentary. Ear plugs, slippers and complimentary breakfast were all available in the beautifully decorated room (albeit the room was quite compact - worth selecting one of the bigger rooms if staying for more than one night). Would highly recommend and will definitely be staying again!
