Extremely friendly staff, intuitive layout and in room amenities including cook top, dishwasher, cookware, a spacious bathroom, and easy operations on all appliances - Also an incredible view, this place is pretty to look at, even from the inside, from the greenhouse room bar at the entrance into the pretty little rooms - not to mention it's right in the heart of all the places you might want to be in Manchester, and there's literally a Tesco twenty paces from the front door. This is my first stay out of America and I'm beyond impressed, it reminds me of A Stay Pineapple but it has much more luxury to it, just as affordable too, the price is justiciable threefold. Also the informational guides available around the hotel help mitigate minor inconveniences, including giving little local cuisine and sightseeing tips. Tl;Dr, it's great, I will be staying again as many times as I can.

Modern hotel in a great location

Beautiful, modern hotel with a very stylish bar and restaurant. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The room was very well equipped and the bed was really comfortable. Location of the hotel was brilliant with a tesco over the road to grab snacks and lots of bars a restaurants in walking distance. Ncp carpark is just behind the hotel, and although it’s quite expensive to park there it’s worth it because it’s so convenient. We would definitely stay here again.
