All 3 radiators in the room were broken, window wouldn't shut properly so lead to a noisey & cold stay. Also with it being ground floor anyone could open the window from outside proving it a safety risk. Made reception aware of issues and was told that they would look into moving our room. Half hour later was told that the other room also had no working radiators. This meant a cold sleepless night. The room had stained carpets, broken picture frames and a damaged bathroom floor. The spare pillows weren't clean also. For the price I paid I would expect atleast a clean room and working radiators. After reaching out to the hotel for a refund as there were no management on site over the weekend I have been ignored. Do not stay here

Great price to stay on the edge of Manchester city centre. Value and secure parking on site. Professional staff. I opted for a basic room which was very large. No window in the room but that meant no external noise, so a very peaceful sleep. I would stay here again.

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.
