Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The room is very spacious but I found the electrical appliance poor in maintenance, like there’s a burning smell of the hairdryer and the iron is definitely so burnt but was not replaced. Also, there’s dust in the cups. I would say the hotel is very clean but I think more maintenance would be needed. Also, the laundry location is very far which makes laundry by self a bit inconvenient. But it’s still a nice place to stay.

I had a comfortable stay. The room was clean and spacious, and the staff were very friendly and supportive. It happened to be a particularly warm day, and while a table fan was provided, it wasn’t very effective in the heat — a tower fan would have been more useful. That said, for a one-night stay it was still a pleasant experience overall.

Convenient location but basic facilities

The hotel is ideally situated in walking distance of the Arndale shopping centre, Opera House and Deansgate as well as being next to Salford train station. The car park the hotel provides is cheaper than the cost of other hotel parking when I was searching for accommodation. The hotel itself is nice enough but the carpet through the corridors is worn and threadbare in places which just brings down the general look of the place. When we arrived we had to wait for about 15 minutes for someone to check us in as the desk was empty and there was no bell or buzzer to let anyone know we were there. Not the end of the world but after a long drive and a few wrong turns, you just want to get up to the room! The room itself was clean but very basic. Furniture tired-looking, no fridge, only one towel left out even though it is a twin room, kettle in the wardrobe nowhere near a plug, plug socket behind the desk so you have to pull it out to get to it. Only little things but for over £150 a night, I expected better facilities. People with accessibility issues need to be careful when considering this hotel as well as the bath in our room was quite high to step into and not very easy to step back out of. We’re not very tall and my mom has bad knees and we both struggled with it. The hotel did the job but just think little touches could be better for the cost of the rooms.

5 night stay

Stayed for 5 nights while my son was on a residential summer course locally. Hotel is well located a short walk into the centre of manchester. The room I was allocated was spacious and well appointed. Bathroom was fairly new. Staff were great, very welcoming and responded quickly to requests. My room didnt have aircon which probably is rarely needed with the local climate, I just happened to be there the hottest week of the year ! Internet was strong and I worked at the hotel during the day, video calls etc, with no issues whatsoever. Car park is run by an outside contractor, Ringo, which has a good app but you need to be careful when selecting the date you want the parking to start on the app. 15 a night isnt cheap but the carpark was secure and right next to the hotel so peace of mind. All in all, I’d stay again.

Excellent price & location with a few minor issues

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful especially on reception The price was superb and a brilliant location to all of Manchester The room was relatively clean but unfortunately there were 1 or 2 issues there was a discarded tissue by the desk covered in red lipstick and crumpled rubbish too, also a black curly hair on the tiles in the wc The blind was defective and wouldn’t close so not very private The tv wouldn’t turn off either via the remote Internet was excellent & the location and price was excellent The car park was handy and had plenty of spaces The breakfast was basic and I am afraid not very tasty but the staff worked hard with what they had
