“SMALL ROOMS BUT GOOD VALUE”

Have used a number of Manchester city centre hotels over the past few years. This however was my first stay here. Reception was friendly, if a little slow. The systems and process add time to check in [there was a sour faced older chap who wandered around with the grumpiest look ever - had clearly been at the hotel for... More

Good first impression from the friendly reception team, was able to check in and access room just after 9am. Room was small but ample for one; it was clean, tidy and the soft furnishings were in good condition. Bathroom and amenities typical for a hotel of this standard. As reported previously, great water pressure in the over bath shower! Slept... More

“Good location & customer focussed employees”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

Only stayed one night in room 533. On checking in I received a warm, genuine welcome from somenone who was obviously keen to represent the hotel group in a professional way. My room was on the small side and the bed wasn't the most comfortable - the bedding though was clean and crisp. Bathroom small - shower 'spot on' with... More

“Decent hotel, looking a bit shabby in places, with slightly bemused looking staff”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW via mobile

Good central Manchester location. The room was decent enough, but the bed and pillows were very hard. The staff while polite and quite efficient, had a slightly bemused expression as if they were not sure that they were doing the right thing. Breakfast was pricey at £14.95.
