Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
This hotel is ideally located for exploring Manchester. It was only a 5 minute walk from Piccadilly station, a 15 minute walk from Victoria station, and easy to walk around to many of the top sites, restaurants, & shops. The hotel had lots of character. My husband & I loved our room, which was very spacious, comfortable, and air conditioned. It was located in the back of the hotel, so it was always quiet. It had sitting area with a stylish black couch & chair plus a huge tub & shower. The staff were all very friendly & helpful. We appreciated the early check-in so we could relax after our flight from the US.
