Luther King House  

Security is good and everything is easy to understand - gates to the car park close at 11pm but there is a back route explained on the gate. The doors to the hotel are also closed at 11pm but again, when you are given your room key you are also given a 4 digit code to get into the building if you come back later. Roms are very slean, comfortable and basic, just what you need really, Breakfast had a wide range of food and also decaf coffee was available, which you don't see in many places.

Creaky noisy bed, other people staying in the hotel weren't thinking of people trying to sleep in the early hours, we heard a few banging doors. Also, at breakfast I think there should have been at least one person telling visitors that everything was self-service, because many people were sitting down and waiting to be waited on, before realising that absolutely everything was self service. Many people were a little hesitant at sitting down at tables too, possibly they were also expecting someone to take them to a table.

Helpful, smiling staff.

Would benefit from refurbishment

Nothing did not enjoy the stay one bit

On arrival the receptionist was more interested in her phone than informing us about our stay or checking us in. The room was really horrible and cheap not at all as described when booking. We were kept up all night by noisy students next door and couldn't complain until the morning where we were just told they would have a word no apology was given!! Very dissapointed and would not recommend this hotel to anyone save your money and book elsewhere!

I had never been to Manchester before, and it (Luther King House) is located in a way that introduced what I consider a unique view of England to me. I am from a rural area in the states, and do not have walking (or driving) access to authentic eastern restraunts.

Good and clean and offered excellent breakfast. Good location.

Noisy guests with lots of banging on doors until early hours of morning. It seems that there was no staff to intervene. Creaky bed and no mixer taps at the wash basin!!! They were too hot or too cold.

Its location in a quiet street, the old buildings and the courtyard garden. It was very handy to the city and the nearby parks were great for walks and runs. There are lots of places to eat, cafees and to grocery shop. Close to the University and museum.

The room was alright but good for one or two nights.

The room and the cups were not cleaned and shampoo/ conditioners/ soap were not re-stocked the next day. Only the bed was made after we put the request sign on the door knob. The reception did not even know the breakfast hour in the morning.

It was close to the bus route for university (where I was attending a reunion) and town. The food and restaurant service were very good. It was calm and peaceful, despite being so close to a busy road.

The bedroom decor and facilities were rather `tired' with the hot tap rotating on its bearing (reported on leaving). The bed was a bit noisy - it rubbed and squeaked against the wall. It would have been nice to have a chair each but I realise that would have been difficult to fit in the room. Although it appears I have written more `not likes' than `likes', overall it was a very pleasant stay and good value for money.

I love the cottage style part of it.

Lovely courtyard

The staff were really helpful, the eating area and bar were very comfortable and the design felt relaxing which is important when you're travelling alone. I loved the faintly scholarly feel of it - less intimidating than business oriented hotels. But best of all were the huge windows that opened so that I could relax after a very tiring day's work, open the window & gaze out onto the cherry blossoms in the garden which is a haven of peace and loveliness in the city. Really lovely & thank you for the stay.

Mattresses are a bit old & lumpy, & too soft for me.

Helpful staff. Price. Relaxing atmosphere. Catered for wife's gluten free breakfast. Room basic, but clean and comfortable with good facilities. Pleasant courtyard area and lounge area.

Nice area and freindly staff and people
