Convenient location but basic facilities

The hotel is ideally situated in walking distance of the Arndale shopping centre, Opera House and Deansgate as well as being next to Salford train station. The car park the hotel provides is cheaper than the cost of other hotel parking when I was searching for accommodation. The hotel itself is nice enough but the carpet through the corridors is worn and threadbare in places which just brings down the general look of the place. When we arrived we had to wait for about 15 minutes for someone to check us in as the desk was empty and there was no bell or buzzer to let anyone know we were there. Not the end of the world but after a long drive and a few wrong turns, you just want to get up to the room! The room itself was clean but very basic. Furniture tired-looking, no fridge, only one towel left out even though it is a twin room, kettle in the wardrobe nowhere near a plug, plug socket behind the desk so you have to pull it out to get to it. Only little things but for over £150 a night, I expected better facilities. People with accessibility issues need to be careful when considering this hotel as well as the bath in our room was quite high to step into and not very easy to step back out of. We’re not very tall and my mom has bad knees and we both struggled with it. The hotel did the job but just think little touches could be better for the cost of the rooms.

5 night stay

Stayed for 5 nights while my son was on a residential summer course locally. Hotel is well located a short walk into the centre of manchester. The room I was allocated was spacious and well appointed. Bathroom was fairly new. Staff were great, very welcoming and responded quickly to requests. My room didnt have aircon which probably is rarely needed with the local climate, I just happened to be there the hottest week of the year ! Internet was strong and I worked at the hotel during the day, video calls etc, with no issues whatsoever. Car park is run by an outside contractor, Ringo, which has a good app but you need to be careful when selecting the date you want the parking to start on the app. 15 a night isnt cheap but the carpark was secure and right next to the hotel so peace of mind. All in all, I’d stay again.

Excellent price & location with a few minor issues

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful especially on reception The price was superb and a brilliant location to all of Manchester The room was relatively clean but unfortunately there were 1 or 2 issues there was a discarded tissue by the desk covered in red lipstick and crumpled rubbish too, also a black curly hair on the tiles in the wc The blind was defective and wouldn’t close so not very private The tv wouldn’t turn off either via the remote Internet was excellent & the location and price was excellent The car park was handy and had plenty of spaces The breakfast was basic and I am afraid not very tasty but the staff worked hard with what they had

Nice hotel. Good staff and service. Nice little buffet breakfast as well. I booked a double room, very spacious, but the bed was small compared to the rest of the room. The room had an inside balcony, which is a very nice touch. Sainsbury's was 4 mins walk away and a bus stop was nearby too. Convenient. I enjoyed my stay.

Disappointing Stay – Would Not Recommend

This was one of the most uncomfortable hotel stays I’ve ever had. The bathroom had no door, which is incredibly awkward and far from private. The room was unbearably hot, with no air conditioning or even proper ventilation. The bed was tiny for couple—I’ve never seen such a small bed in any hotel before, and it was definitely not made for a good night’s sleep. To make things worse, the carpet was dirty, and it bunched up at the toilet entrance, making it difficult to even open the toilet door. Overall, I would not stay here again.

The carpets were very badly stained, desperately need replacing or at least a very good industrial clean. Booked a double room for myself and my teenage daughter as there were no twins available at the time, wasn't a problem we don't mind sharing. But no door on the bathroom was a bit too far for a self conscious teen... don't assume it's always going to be couples in a double, and even then sometimes a bit a privacy is wanted...a nice industrial looking door on runners would look 👌
