    Hotel is very outdated and needs a huge upgrade. Rooms are tired and old looking. Mould growing in the bathrooms and on the shower head so very bad housekeeping standards. There was even a rip in the duvet. I was moved twice as the first room moved to the A/C didnt work and had a fault message and then got moved into a 'nicer room' not really sure it was much nicer but better than the previous two. Had breakfast the morning, the apple juice was sour and the bacon and sausage had been sat there so long that it was rock solid! Staff at reception were very good and friendly and the location is great for the Arndale but thats the only saving grace! I would recommend staying somewhere else.

    Lovely location for wanting to a lot of things in Manchester. Shower drained very slow and often found ourselves in a puddle of water after showering. This meant we had to wait approx 10mins for the shower to drain before the other person could shower. One of the towels had hairs on them which wasn't great either.
