For a business hotel really a big minus: no free Internet (neither WIFI nor LAN)! Therefore I can't recommend this hotel for business trips at all.

Good location for shops and taxi rank right outside. Secure parking around the back.

The size of the room was a little small but comfortable for what we needed.

Totaly enjoyable experience, great location on Piccadilly Gardens with everywhere in the city centre walkable. Good clean room, good value for mney and to top it all charming well mannered efficient staff.

Clean, well located, well run hotel. Problem free and efficient.

Room was small but that wasn't a major problem. Could really have done with a kettle though!

Location

dirty carpet, uncomfortable bed, they also refused to put a baby cot for my child in the room although I have stated this during my reservation.

Staff very friendly and was good value for money. Location is perfect for going to the city. Like the security of the door being locked at night but think there should be a sign to let people know about this as I was unaware....luckily someone spotted me and let me in

I would like to see two pillows per person on a bed as one isn't really enough

Great location and good price room was very clean and staff and facilities were excellent

Very nice welcome at the reception. Indra was very nice, professional, efficient and polite: she immediately made me feel like I was home... I was very surprised when I noticed she had a "trainee" badge, so I can only guess the other staff might even be better! I didn't have a chance to enjoy the services of the hotel as I only stayed for a night, but everything looked well managed, efficiently working, clean and first class. Would definitely come back on future occasions.

No free parking, but definitely I only very rarely found a free hotel parking in city centers europewide. The advantage here is that you have a public parking, just round the corner, 2 minutes walk away (quite expensive however, as it costed about 20 gbp for about 24 hours). The window in room scared me when I tried to open, as it looked like it was going to fall broken.

Room was awful very small refurb of hotel is poor one of the worst hotels in manchester possibly worse than the really budget hotels like premier inn type hotels would not return really dissapointing

Location was great, hotel is close to everything. Health and leisure centre was perfect for a relax.

The shower in the bathroom wasn't nice. In the morning the cleaner in the next room woke us up.

The size of the twin room was very small, would think twice about staying again because of that

The site is really great, very near the centre and the railway station. It's very conveninet to buy something at the tesco, just turn a corner. And lots of restaurants near this hotel. Because of the location, I think the price is just ok.

My room is very small not same as the pictures on the website. And the bathroom is dirty not so clean. The most of all is I found the used cream when I wanted to drink tea. It's really dirty that I think the staff doesn't check everything in the room carefully. Also, the air conditioner is not so good. Only has the cold air without hot air.
