Nothing... quite possibly the worst hotel I’ve ever had the misfortune to stay at.

Dan, United Kingdom

Not much - the television worked well and the shower was acceptable. The grand staircase was impressive - I could see it used to be a good hotel.

Philip, United Kingdom

Nothing there is no way I would give this hotel a 3 star

Ben, United Kingdom

Great location that every thing and place is nearby. Room was clean and kept that way during my stay. Bed was comfortable

Garreth, Ireland

The entrance is incredible, staircase. Location is extremely good.

Jessica, United Kingdom

Comfort bed. The hotel has a quite a good soundproof window although it's located next to a bar with high blasting music at night. There is additional security at night to ensure that only guests are able to go into the hotel. It's located in central Manchester with a short walking distance from Manchester Picadilly station, shopping, and Chinatown.

Peggy, United Kingdom

Happy we came here after being in Britannia (Liverpool). Had it been the other way around we would be heart-broken. After a fairly poor stay in Britannia (location saved the day!!!) we quickly checked in with this team. Hotel is being better looked after. A little hard to find the room on the top floor, but the bed, cleanliness and the views were so much better. ooof the view! Amazing big window.

Rita, Ireland

The only thing I liked about this hotel was that they refunded my money for the second night when I decided to check out after one miserable night.

Jane, United States of America

Comfortable beds and bathroom. Nice aesthetic painting in windowless room to brighten it up.

Marcus, United States of America

The only good thing about it was near Piccadilly station..

“Not the best visit I've had and overpriced for a twin room with no windows”
- • Leisure trip

- • Double Room (No Windows)
- • Stayed 1 night
The reception staff struggled to raise a smile between them. I couldn't get the shower to run to hot water in the morning. The fire alarm went off at 1am, which was blamed on a guest, however the last time I stayed at the hotel just over a year ago, the fire alarm also went off during the night. I could hear thumping music into the early hours of the morning, presumably from Christmas party nights, but I was three floors up!
Very convenient for the city centre

The hotel room was dirty to the poor of Human soil on toilet when we entered the room. Bath was broke and not working , the hotel itself is run down and the staff was not helpful when we complained , for a sum off £240 it was a discrace and wound compare the room as a poor standard , breakfast wasn’t much better. A overall bad experience and will not be recommended or stay again. Only good thing was location

The walls were paper thin so we could hear everything going on in all the other rooms. The nightclub down stairs was in action till goodness knows what time. There was a fire alarm one of the guests had set off at 1am. The record was so out of date and had been 'touched up but you could tell. All the rooms were smoking rooms apparently you had to request non smoking... doesn't state that anywhere. The ad states there is parking, yes but they recommend you walk 10mins up the road. But there is an NCP car park behind the hotel. The bed was so hard we didn't sleep comfortable, the shower didn't work properly.

Uncomfortable bed, no proper lighting, no soundproofing on window, lack of teas and coffees(2 bags, 2 sachets), lack of towels (hand towel and large towel, no spare towels in the wardrobe so had to share), rancid smelling body/hair wash, lack of power points and either every guest is rude or its impossible to close or open a door without slamming it. Terrible value for money compared to any budget hotel chain.
It is easily to walk to from Piccadilly station
