    Would have preferred a walk-in shower to a jacuzzi. The room air conditioning wasn't up to the job. The room was too hot and the air conditioning could not be adjusted. Also, the common spaces (entrances, lifts and hallways) were also overheated and felt a bit oppressive.

    Wonderfully comfortable bed. Chic 'bohemian' room decor. The breakfast was quite good, but lacked a bit of variation after 3 days. (Would have preferred to have breakfast in a dining area, rather than delivered to our room, however. Staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful and the room serviced daily.

    The mattress topper on my bed wasn’t level, I tried to pull it back up as I kept dipping in my sleep and my pillows smelt like greasy food. I would have addressed this issue but it was late and didn’t want to be that person.

    Amazing staff. Complimentary drink when when checking in. Couldn’t fault the location. It made my stay convenient when meeting friends on canal street. The bar was great and had outside seating to soak up the sun.

    Settee in room was stained. Robes in room but no slippers? Coffee maker no instructions and temperamental Wanted a drink in the lovely outside bar area sat down was ignored by all staff for at least 10 mins. Asked about the 2-4-1 cocktail advertised in room. Staff member quite rude and abrupt that offer wasn't on, didn't offer us an alternative she just walked away. We got up and left.

    Location was great Staff were very welcoming in the hotel, offered a presence - nice touch Room size was great

    Its strange the lack of food for breakfast and a continental breakfast that was fine but would of hoped for more for the money spent on it On arrival guests are offered a glass of prosecco - I dont drink so wasnt offered a soft drink - you just miss out! you should of made the experience fair for everyone. No decaf in the room - asked for some and it was out of date when it arrived. I always expect at least a bottle of water in a room and not one that costs from the mini bar.

    It was a good-sized room, and the location was perfect for my work the following day. I spent 2 nights here and as a seasoned traveller I can say its fine to stay. The hot shower was the best thing every day - it's perfect temperature, however you like it!

    Depending on the room, it can get noisy as it right on the main street of gay quarter (ask for quiet room)

    Location, breakfast served in room (but not comparable to a real English breakfast), nice personal

    Restaurant wasn’t good, ok but they were not ready to open and there was only a few things not even ready to serve somethings on the menu.

    Right in the middle of Manchester, easy links to metro rail

    Always a pleasure staying here. As long as you are aware that it's in a busy nightlife area and so some noise is to be expected then it's a very special place.

    Exceptional staff, champagne on arrival from the wonderful receptionist. The amenities both inside and outside were a pleasant welcome. The cocktail seating area outside was a true hit with both me and my partner. We were in a perfect location from transport, to bars, to the best nightlife. The room was lovely, we were given an upgrade to a beautiful, spacious room. There were drinks and snack provided which they deducted off of a holding fee if you were to consume/use anything, although we didn’t it was a bonus for if we did want anything as we would just be refunded the remaining balance. The room had a street view as we were on the first floor so it could get noisy at times - this was to be expected and we didn’t mind a single bit! There was a control panel beside the (large and exceptionally comfortable) bed that controlled the blinds for the morning and the evening and even the mood lighting around the bed! Safe to say this was a wonderful stay and when we are back in Manchester we will definitely be booking here again!
