Lock in a great price for Velvet Hotel - rated 9 by recent guests.

to get started.

Lovely and friendly staff, really clean, amazing location and we was given a complimentary bottle of Prosecco on arrival 10/10

Craig, United Kingdom

Nicely furnished and room was quite spacious, with a balcony overlooking the canal. Clean.

Maria, Malta

Nice helpful genuine staff. As always I like staff with personalities who don't speak as though they've been told what they have to say. The staff saw that I got the quirky room I requested. I usually stay in decent budget accommodation and this was more of a boutique hotel standard but at a reasonable price. Ensuite had a nice bath as well as shower, good tea and coffee facilities with a tea pot included which came as a pleasant surprise as I prefer to make tea in a pot. Large comfy bed and openable windows for fresh air when sleeping. Impressive old former warehouse building right on Canal street.

John, United Kingdom

Everything else. The staff were very friendly, they upgraded me to penthouse suite, it was very clean, nice central location, nice boutique style furnishings, highly recommended

Bipshayl, United Kingdom

Great hotel great room great staff would 100% recommend

Daniel, United Kingdom

I loved the hotel and the welcoming attitude of the staff. The restaurant is very good, breakfast was better than normal. But mostly I enjoyed the over-the-top decor. Great location for evening fun, easily walkable to the train station.

Ken, USA

Location perfect, Fantastic appearance, fantastic staff that couldn’t help more than they did, the most elegant rooms, amazing cleanliness, bedding to die for, so so quirky! Restaurant mr whites was top notch, velvet also so beautiful! The nicest hotel I’ve stayed in and will definitely be returning! We’ve found our base for when we regularly stay in Manchester! Value for money was next to none! Cannot rate this high enough. Thankyou!!!

Jason, United Kingdom

Good location. The stuff was very friendly. The room was nice and clean.

Emmmmmmmm, United Kingdom

Great hotel with friendly staff, very clean good size room

Lewis, United Kingdom

Rooms were fabulously decorated and immaculately clean. Staff were polite and really helpful. Location was great, as we were on Canal Street we expected to hear some noise on the night but didn’t hear anything. Would definitely go back!! 😀
