Marielucilla, United Kingdom

Fantastic location, fabulous room and friendly helpful staff. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I plan on staying again. Perfect location to enjoy Canal Street and the rest of Manchester city centre. Chinatown is just a couple of minutes walk away too.

David, United Kingdom

Comfy beds, & loved the little touches we were given in the room.

Karla, United Kingdom

Brilliant hotel. Room was great with the best bed I've ever slept in. Staff were some of the friendliest I've came across and went the extra mile for you. The breakfast was also top notch. Location couldn't of been any better, 5 min walk from Piccadilly train station and right on canal st with around a 10 minute walk to the shopping centre or the northern quarter.

Grant, United Kingdom

The hot chocolate was heavenly helping to make bathing in the amazing double bathtub a delight. Having bathrobes ready for getting out of the bath / shower was another delight which also enabled us to relax before the events to follow - Iron Maiden Concert. The extra large bed with sumptuous mattress and bedding enabled a relaxing night, something I feel is very important when staying in a hotel. We will be staying again bringing friends with us soon.

Rach, United Kingdom

The room was amazing, beautifully decorated and great bathroom. I loved that there was a proper tea pot and fresh milk which makes such a difference. The staff were so attentive from the moment we entered the reception and it made the stay even more pleasant. Thank you for such a lovely time.

“Great location, but tries a bit too hard to be cool.”
- • Business trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Velvet King Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Room decor was on the chichi side of picturesque, quirkiness being preferred to comfort. The staff was polite enough, but had a certain smugness about them: 'aren't we such cool people?' A bit grating after a while. Nothing terrible, but a bit of a letdown. With a little effort, given the location, this could be much better. One thing which I didn't see mentioned in the hotel's description, though, and which should be, is that the Velvet is located in Manchester's Gay Quarter, and appears to cater primarily for a gay clientele, which, in my case, led to quite a funny quid-prod-quo, when one of my work colleagues arrived to pick me up, and the hotel staff asked him whether they should take his case to my room. We found it very funny - but some other people might not.
눇Location is excellent. Near to Piccadilly, by the canal, very peaceful. Nice attention to detail in the beverage/drinks/snacks provided in the room (which is becoming rarer and rarer).

“Hospitable, Relaxing, Comfortable Hotel”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Velvet King Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉Climbing the stairs to my room after walking for ages seemed like I would never get to the top to my room but a small price to pay for such an excellent room. Views - There was construction going on outside the bedroom window with quite a lot of noise due to this in the morning. When this is completed the views should be much better.
눇The hot chocolate was heavenly helping to make bathing in the amazing double bathtub a delight. Having bathrobes ready for getting out of the bath / shower was another delight which also enabled us to relax before the events to follow - Iron Maiden Concert. The extra large bed with sumptuous mattress and bedding enabled a relaxing night, something I feel is very important when staying in a hotel. We will be staying again bringing friends with us soon.
