The location is excellent, very close to everything, and the place is very clean. The only downside was the experience with the guests upstairs constantly walking heavily around their room for long periods, which was extremely noisy and unpleasant.

For the price the hotel was amazing! Our room was lovely and clean and had everything we needed! It was a short walk from the city centre too so an excellent location! Unfortunately we had a fire evacuation at 2:30am which was the only thing that made our trip less enjoyable but apart from that we had a lovely stay!

Room was decently clean, however very basic. Only provided one pillow each, my duvet cover was ripped at the corner. No kettle or anything provided in the room which is dissapointing. Staff were fine

8/10 Very good

Spacious comfortable room with nice clean bathroom. Liked the added fridge in room, but would have benefitted from more than 1 pillow each. Breakfast was included and was ok, but lacked selection, so if you prefer a full english, you'd be better going out for breakfast elsewhere. Overall decent stay, and for the value I would stay again.

Lovely clean spacious room. Plenty storage areas. Pleasant temperature in the room. Hot powerful shower. We were able to check in at 13.30 as 1500 is quite late. Negatives are only one pillow each and no smart features on the giant TV

The location of the hotel was excellent for access to city and walking . It was a large room for city centre. It was very busy at checkin because of the marathon weekend but staff did well. The negative was no kettle or hot drink station although the reception staff let me get one from the breakfast area one day. Only one pillow but maybe could have asked for additional one .

Clean room. All amenities excellent. Night porter a little unresponsive bordering on unfriendly, otherwise excellent and will definitely book again.

Very well situated hotel, in the middle of Manchester. The hotel rooms have everything you need, however, no glasses/cups. One negative, the fire alarm went off at 3am, there was confusion on what we should do as we are ambling down the stairs, the fire alarm stopped. We then returned to the room. Overall, a good stay was had at a very reasonable price. I will stay again.

Will definitely stay again. Great location, room was spacious and clean, and talk about affordable!! I highly recommend this hotel. My only issue was the bed was slightly uncomfortable and pillows are flat. Still giving my stay 5 stars though!

For the price, it’s excellent and central to town. Room very clean. Only slight reservation was breakfast which wasn’t brilliant. But other than that it’s great.
