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.

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 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.

My stay at the hotel was amazing, well above our expectations! The rooms were super lush and comfortable, big enough for our family.
