I stay here regularly for business. Rooms clean, bed plush and comfy, bathroom clean with nice toiletries and big fluffy towels, staff polite and friendly, food good, good night's sleep, decent size TV. Very short walk to major shopping centre and lots of restaurants in close proximity. Would highly recommend

I have been staying in this hotel during numerous business trips to Manchester since last November. I have always found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in the Northern Quarter of the city with it's many bars, cafes and restaurants. I have always enjoyed staying here and would recommend it to all.

Modern hotel, located close to Printworks, Arndale, Harvey Nicks etc though area still looks a bit rough & ready. Was worred about the car parking (open air, directly opposite the hotel), given the amount of empty cider / wine bottles strewn around the car park, but car was fine - there is a covered NCP along the street too, which...

Love love love. You'll fall in love with the trendy rooms. The bar is good too and not overly expensive. Great location - not slap bang in the middle of all the action but close enough. Highly recommended for a trendy break from the norm.

I stay at this hotel regularly as a Platinum Priorty cardholder and feel very well treated with rom upgrades, lounge access etc. However, I now avoid room service as the food has been terrible on three occasions and even the restaurant food isn't much to write home about. With so much choice in Manchester EAT OUT! Great hotel though :-)
