Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be conveniently located within a few minutes from the bus and tram station, which was great for our first visit to Manchester. The rooms were a bit tired-looking initially, but the friendly and helpful staff made up for it. The dining experience left much to be desired with undercooked food, but the option to book breakfast in advance for a discount was a perk. Overall, a mixed experience with some improvements needed.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were quiet and clean, and suited us perfectly. The service from the staff was excellent, making us feel very welcome. The location was ideal for our needs, although there were some negative aspects in the area. The dining experience had its highs and lows, but overall, I enjoyed my time at the hotel.
The hotel was really nice and clean, with spacious rooms that were very clean but a bit cold and didn't warm up even when the air conditioning was turned up. The service was incredibly welcoming and helpful, especially with prompt special requests. The location was right in the center of Manchester, providing easy access to everything, though some rooms were not as big as expected. The dining experience had something for everyone but lacked crockery and glasses. Overall, a lovely stay with minor room temperature issues.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spotless, and I adored the bathroom setup. The staff members were incredibly kind and attentive. The location was superb, right by the Arndale shopping center and Print Works complex, making it convenient without the noise of the city center. The dining options were a bit limited for me, but overall, it was a fantastic experience.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were really nice and comfortable, but they needed a bit of attention to details. The service was pleasant and efficient, with friendly staff willing to assist. The location was superb, right in the heart of Manchester, which was convenient for exploring the city. However, the dining options were not outstanding, and some facilities could use improvement.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was spotless and offered a lovely view, making my experience amazing with comfortable beds and a separate shower and bath. However, the room was small with minimal storage space. The service was a bit mixed as some staff members seemed unsure about gluten ingredients, but overall they were really nice and helpful. The location was perfect, right in the city center and close to major attractions, although it felt a bit ordinary. The dining experience was ready but disappointing, as the food was only warm/cold and not up to par. On the bright side, the facilities were adequate, offering room service and other amenities.
The hotel was convenient for my husband's 40th birthday celebration with balloons and banners, but the room felt cramped with our luggage and a pushchair. There were a few maintenance issues with blood marks on the ceiling and curtains that affected the overall comfort.
My stay at the hotel was amazing, well above our expectations! The rooms were super lush and comfortable, big enough for our family. The reception staff even kindly booked our early morning taxi when our flight to Dubai got canceled on the 18th of November. The room was a great size, very clean, and the little extras available in case we forgot any essentials were a lovely touch.
The hotel was lovely, although I wouldn't have minded some robes; no big deal. It was so nice and immaculate with the most comfortable bed ever. Perfect for attending a concert at the Manchester arena.
My stay at this hotel was lovely despite a few hiccups. The rooms, though a bit noisy due to the main road, were clean and comfy, with great beds and a lovely bathroom. The mix-up with breakfasts was a downside, but overall, it was a pleasant stay.
The hotel offers top-notch rooms that are well-equipped and comfortable, featuring separate sleeping quarters, lovely double beds, and a cozy setting. The service is exceptional, with a few minor issues promptly addressed, including a noise matter and a TV glitch, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The location is excellent for exploring Manchester with convenient access to various attractions and transport links, making it an ideal choice. The dining experience is delightful, offering a wide variety of delicious options to choose from. Overall, a great place to stay with a few hiccups in honesty with valuable items left behind.
The room was a good size, very clean, and had all the amenities I needed, but there were some noticeable issues like a gash in the bed backboard, stained carpets, dirty cupboard doors, brown stains on the walls, and plugs. Despite this, the spacious room was specifically designed for disabled guests, which was a plus.
The hotel provided a modern and stylish room with minor initial issues in water temperature quickly resolved. The cleanliness was exceptional, and the delightful breakfast offered everything needed for a short stay. The amenities like a hairdryer, iron, ironing board, kettle, and beverages added convenience.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful! The rooms were beautiful and immaculate with a great view over Manchester City center. While more lighting would have been appreciated, the pillows were exceptionally large, making for a cozy stay.
