    The double bed was very small...we top and tailed as it would have been really tight and hot as small room but they did get us a lovely big fan. Bed was very comfy though. For the price would expect bigger room but maybe prices bumped as due to concert being on which they all do !!

    Lovely staff, nothing too much for them, young chap on reception got us a big fan for the room because of the hot weather straight away.. Lawrence on reception even got us some oatmilk for a cuppa at midnight after getting home from the Greenday concert. Clean room , TV , plug sockets, fresh bedding, towels and toiletries. Quiet location but only easy 10 minutes walk from Picadilly station. Lovely breakfast,good choice, immaculate dining room...tablecloths...now that's a rarity! Outdoor courtyard setting and nice bar area serving food. Two lifts.

    I had a double bed (thanks!) but the room was small for this size of bed. So it was a bit tight when you sat down at the desk to do some work. The bed had a reasonable mattress, no problems, but it could have been better. Breakfast was OK, I did not like the fried eggs I tried one day.

    It's been a while since I was in Manchester. I used to live in the area of the hotel this is why I picked it. I had stayed there before. I like the location, it is close to nice pubs, to the gay village (I am not gay!) and the China town. You only see students around since Manchester has many of them and the hotel is adjacent to a student hall and inside of what used to be UMIST (now U. of Manchester). Everything in the hotel is overall OK although some things could be better. Coffee in breakfast was fine!

    Inside the hotel was gorgeous until we went into our room. For the price we paid for one night, we expected a lot more. It was pretty much a budget standard room for over £200 a night. The bed was a bit stiff, there was a desk and wardrobe which looked and sounded like they had been there since the 90’s. The shower was good but didn’t have any indication on which way was hot or cold and the fixtures were slightly loose and had a hair hanging off it. Our room wasn’t situated on the road, but we could still hear everything happening outside through our closed window.

    The location to Piccadilly and the centre was great. There is a car park right next to the hotel which is handy if you’re driving and the hotel was easy to find. The staff were pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was really good and well maintained, although it was busy they kept food coming out and topped up.

    Booked on booking.com and it said it included breakfast, arrived at hotel and was told as we had only paid a certain amount breakfast was not included and they wanted £20, but we had used a discount code, wouldn’t honour it which wasn’t great!

    Rooms small and very warm, we had a fan but still was a very warm room. Light in shower wasn't working. Beds weren't that comfy. Could hear next door making a cup of tea/coffee, walls very thin and could hear everything.

    Location is good.

    Noise from skateboarders outside at 4am on Sunday and 1am Monday. Had to keep window closed to dull down sound so room was a bit stuffy.

    Compact double was bigger than expected and adequate for a short business stay. Eric the barman was welcoming and very attentive. Reception staff were very pleasant and check-in was speedy.

    The price: it was £100 more than my first stay two weeks ago and you charged my friend much less than me, which I need to dispute. The fluctuation of prices is ridiculous, I planned ahead and was punished for doing so.

    The staff, breakfast, bar, room facilities and location are all very good. This is my second stay here, so I was more attuned to getting to and from the hotel and making my way around. I would stay there again.
