    very good location
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Double Room without Window
    • Stayed 2 nights

    the room did not have any windows and it felt kind of strange; the noise in the hallways was very loud in the room; the bed was very uncomfortable and it made noise when I turned from one side to another;

    location is perfect, center of Manchester, close to cafes, grocery stores (one of them actually open 24 hours); children's playground close by, within a very short walking distance from the train station;

    Our room for a five night stay was a bit small but we got on with it.

    Location is amazing. So central and everything on your doorstep. The hotel was very quiet, no city / traffic noise at all. Breakfast was beautiful. Full English and the vegetarian option was excellent. A special shout out to Jay who was so attentive and great fun. Bath in the room was lovely.

    We had a room overlooking the rear of property. A little noise from nearby and woken by work on an adjoining building very early.

    Great location close to railway station and for easy access to the city centre. Staff always friendly and great breakfast. We have used the gardens several times over the years and it has never disappointed. Many thanks

    The room wasn't the best quality but it was ok value for money. The shower didn't fit on the mount so ended up soaking the whole bathroom when used.

    Good location in Manchester city centre. All staff we encountered were friendly and helpful.

    Didn't dislike anything but there could have been a bit more choice at the cold buffet for breakfast.

    The location is very good being only a 10 minute walk from Piccadilly station. We had a nice comfortable room and the breakfast was adequate. Not much choice from the buffet table, ie no yoghurt or pastries.

    In general the hotel room was very dated and not in the best of condition, the carpets near the edges were all torn and worn out. The furniture was old, dented and chipped and the bed itself wasn't comfortable. Two mattresses but together which is fine but one was a different height to the other. There was also a lot of building work right outside the window from 7am, no notice of this from the hotel staff and was a rude awakening.

    The staff were friendly and very helpful. The room had all the basics you needed.

    The corridors and lobby are very outdated and had an unpleasant smell, however some management of this would make it perfect.

    The bed was really comfortable, and the hotel is in such a great location only 10 minutes from the train station.

    The fire-alarm woke me up at 5.10am, on the 2nd morning of my stay, but it seemed to have been a false alarm !

    Whilst booking, I requested a bath-tub. Quickly, I received a reply comfirming my request. Check-in went very well. There was a bath-tub in the ensuite bathroom. Staff were very helpful and dealt with plumbing problems efficiently. The bed was comfortable, with a deep mattress. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful on both days of my stay. The hotel was very clean. The location was great, being close to various forms of public transport, shops, restaurants and entertainment venues !

    Okay for a short work-related stay (bad WiFi tho)

    Unfortunately the Wi-Fi was barely working - which was a major drawback for me as I came for a work trip - I needed to use my own cellular data to work in the evening. Additionally, one night there were some water problems (there wasn't hot water for one evening out of three that I've been there). Apart from that, no complaints :)

    The localisation was perfect - close to a big park and near the city center. Breakfasts were tasty although there weren't that many options to choose from. The place overall was clean and had good vibes.

    £148 a night for an executive room, with no aircon/heating. Only one working window to cool down the room after 2 heaters were left on, which then allowed in the noise of Piccadilly gardens on a Saturday night. There was a “master switch” in the room we weren’t warned about so when we used it to turn our bedside light off, we didn’t realise we had turned all of the lights off at the mains so had to use the shower/bathroom in the dark. Brought this to receptions attention and they basically said “you’ll know for next time”

    Perfect location for a stay in Manchester. Bed was amazingly comfortable, room relatively clean and up to date. Tea and coffee making facilities provided and cold bottles of water were appreciated. We had a pleasant stay.

    The reception lobby area is a bit shabby, our actual room really surprised us with the quality considering the downstairs.
