Would stay again!!!!
Hotel was amazing, so clean and comfortable. Staff are absolutely lovely and very friendly. Make you feel very welcome, only slight issue would be the fan in our room didn’t work so was quite hot at night. Can’t fault it otherwise

Glad to be back, but to a slightly different hotel
Been here before lots of changes since last visit the bar area has gone and rooms have been upgraded friendly check in staff, excellent breakfast even the no pork sausages, room was trendy and comfortable albeit could hear the build up of the morning traffic, great if you have a car bit of a walk to the nearest tram stop.

Breakfast was really nice, coffee was brilliant.
Whole experience from start to finish was really good, would highly recommend.

Fantastic value for money & really helpful staff!
This hotel was fantastic for the value!
The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful too.
If you’re staying in Manchester and don’t want to break the bank, then I’d highly recommend this hotel. I will definitely look at possibly staying here for future overnight stays in Manchester!

Great value, convenient location, secure parking
This was our second stay at the hotel. Location is convenient, about 10 minutes walk to Manchester city centre. On-site parking is reasonably priced and secure, despite a few broken glass bottle on the floor. Pay at counter option is slightly cheaper than using the App, at £14.5 for 24 hours so you can leave your car there after checking out from the hotel.
The room is spacious. The only catch I would say is the lack of door for the bathroom (shower / bath tub), which might not work very well for some travellers.

Nice Room- not the cleanest
Room had stains on the carpet and the bed did not appear to be king size which we had paid for. The room also didn’t have a bath as described. The reception staff were lovely and hotel was in a good location

Very average hotel.
Generally nice but no really working space, had ro run shower for 4 to 5 minutes to get hot water. Bed was ok. If this was a travelodge id have rather it good but for a 4 star hotel id have expectes more. Only offers microwave meals on an evening
