Victoria Park Hotel  

That I could cancel my 4 nights booking after just one nights stay. Nice manager at arrival.

Dirty, lousy breakfast, hard beds, hotel closed several hours for friday prayers, no atmosphere, no customers.

Quiet location, despite being within a few yards of Manchester's famous "curry mile"! And therefore equally handy to a frequent bus service to the city centre. Efficient room service and attentive staff - who gave the impression that they were really interested in guests' opinions. Clean and generally comfortable.

The room furnishings were rather on the spartan side, although the bed was comfortable. Apparently due to the proprietors' strict interpretation of their Islamic faith, there are no TVs in rooms and I couldn't see one in use in the public lounge. Likewise they won't allow alcohol in the hotel - which doesn't worry me but might be an issue for other guests. And the breakfast, though a little bit more than "continental", did not of course include bacon or sausages. There were a few decor and maintenance issues - which is no more than you would expect in a 19th century building.

Disappointed with level of cleanliness.there was an empty water bottle and a pack of tissues under the beds.

There is a 24 hour reception desk with friendly, helpful staff. The hotel was central and well located. Ample parking spaces (although at an extra charge).

Guests should arrive with very low expectations. This is a very tired looking old hotel in very poor decorative order with peeling paint and ancient furniture, desperately in need of refurbishment. There is no lift in the hotel. No bar, no tv, no telephone or fridge in the room. The room was poorly lit, but might have been brighter if one of the lights in our room hadn't been out. The wardrobe was broken. The bed covers, curtains and furnishings were old and completely mismatched. The water stopped running in the shower at one point. No hand towel or bath mat provided. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. The room was grubby. The outlook from the room was a scruffy, unkempt yard. Breakfast was a fried egg with 2 slices of white bread toast, cornflakes and an apple/banana and orange juice with tea or coffee. It should have been made clearer on the website that alcohol is not permitted in the hotel (so that we did not go to that hotel). There was a notice on the front door which stated "Out Going After 12'Clock Midnight is not allowed. Please pre-Arrange For Urgency with the Receptionist" (this is word for word what it said). When we checked with the Reception staff, we were told that the sign was 20 years old, no longer applies, but had simply not been taken down. I was completely at a loss as to what made the room we stayed in a "premier" room....I Dread to think what the "economy" rooms were like. Overall, a hilariously bad hotel with friendly staff.

Really disappointed with all the facets of my stay.

No nonsense budget hotel, quiet and polite. Don't get your hopes up as its very basic and a bit rough round the edges but fine.

It has a good location near the resturant & close to city center The service is quite good .

There are two issues that I dont like about this hotel : First, the service in breakfast there was only one waiter ... Second, the instinct in the room , may be because it is close to the trees.

Staff were awesome. Front desk were always assistive. Liaqat tended to my most minute need. All were smiley and courteous. Available 24/7. Food was great. I will most definitely book there again.

No tv or small fridge in rooms.

Staff were friendly

No meat only egg on toast no tv no bar dirty walls the list is endless

The staff were friendly, it was warm and clean, and I would stay there again..

They need to have big mirrors in the bedrooms.. I couldnt straighten my hair, lol..

The hotel was situated at a convenient distance from the town centre. The staff were extremely polite, friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and obviously kept in a good condition.

The hotel is in a really good location as we were up to visit the university, right in the heart of it all but tucked away. The price is just great and the room was large and airy. bathroom was a good size with a new shower area. The room has begun to be decorated and when complete is will look more modern. The breakfast was a surprise as it said continental and I expected a cold meal (for the price not much either) and we got an egg with toast! Couple of choices of cereal, tea, coffee and lovely fruit juice - just enough to get you up and out.

The room had a strange smell in it I suspect somebody has smoked and they were trying to cover it up. The decoration was very poor in areas and needed some attention, but I think it was being done. Public areas were cold and no TV in the bedroom so if you wanted to watch you would have to get a little chilly! Bathroom was a little sparse and no shower stuff so take your own (but for the money what do you expect?) The room was a little grubby and the outlook from the room was a scruffy yard so we kept the blinds drawn. The beds were small and the duvet very small and thin, I like a little spare and some weight to my bedding. All in all for what we paid a little more cleaning and you can't complain about the rest!

very friendly - Even though I didnt realise it was non-alcohol or no TV in the rooms but for me that was a plus. It was very quiet and the staff all very nice - and in a quiet location just off the Curry Mile with loads of buses into manchester city centre, and quiet places to walk
