The lady on reception was extremely polite on this visit. Nice clean room and Great location.
Staff was very kind and professional, had some issues with the room that were immediately fixed by maintenance. Would highly recommend this hotel while staying in Manchester.
This hotel has a great location. The room, though a little dated, was clean and spacious. The staff were very helpful upon check in. The breakfast was plentiful though could have been a little better quality. I would stay here again.

Great value for central hotel that is in need for refurbishment but for what you pay excellent
Very helpful staff 👍
Set in a beautiful building, this hotel is centrally located and with very easy access to all areas of Manchester, either on foot or by public transport. The check in was quick and the room was a good size, clean and with good amenities. Recommended.

Staff were lovely, the hotel was nice and central. Exactly what is needed from a hotel, came solo and felt fine getting to and from and staying here.
The price was great and the location was so central. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. But the mattress was very old and uncomfortable. The room was dusty and was very noisy - I could hear everything in the next room and outside. Especially from the next room - every word of arguments, every noise of sex and all.
Comfortable central hotel with good and helpful staff, convenient for Piccadilly railway and theatre and concert arenas

Clean, comfortable room with a good shower. Bathroom a bit tatty with cracks in sink and holes in bath where there was once a handle but still clean enough.
