Room was freezing as window wouldn't seal shut properly. The bathroom light flickered like i.e. a disco light when switched on. The whole hotel needs gutting out and a huge refurb. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. The breakfast was ok but everything seemed overcooked or hard/solid probably because it was sat for so long in heated containers to keep it warm. Collapse

Hotel in a great location - 10 minutes walk from Piccadilly Station. Excellent public transport links to all parts of the city. Manchester is an easy city to explore on foot - even in the rain! Spoilt for choice on what to see - so many interesting places. Hotel needs to look at Health and safety re: large staircase to the five floors - easy to fall over a banister rail. Otherwise a great escape. Collapse

Hotel is quite basic and dated, like it hasn’t been spruced up for a few decades. And whilst that has a certain charm, this place is not great value for the price. The biggest issue is noise. Whilst you expect city centres to be noisy, this place is loud. Lack of double glazing means you can hear every sound from the streets below. If you want to sleep, bring earbuds or get absolutely steaming off booze! Collapse

I chose this hotel as it was in the centre of Manchester and walking distance from the train station. The room was clean with tea and coffee facilities, iron and iron board, towels etc. The only downside to this was the bar and nightclub located at the basement of the hotel. At least I thought this was great if you wanted a few drinks at the end of the night however, we were staying on the 1st floor and when in the room getting ready for bed, you could hear the music and I mean HEAR the music word for word. You could hear the vibrations from the base. This kept me awake and I even had to Google when the nightclub closed so I would know when I would be able to sleep. I would probably stay here again but I would ask for a room and a higher floor! Collapse

I looked at this hotel online and it looked lovely, the price was good too so even after reading the reviews on here, I bit the bullet and we got it booked. We needed a family room for three adults and that's what we got on the 5th floor. Booking: My stepdad booked this hotel over the phone as we were travelling down from the top end of Scotland so were a bit unsure whether we'd make it due to the weather. They don't send out confirmation emails and the number on their website charges a fortune (I googled the hotel and found a different cheaper number). We had to phone them before we went to make sure our booking had gone through. Checking in: The staff didn't look the happiest bunch of folk to be honest. The homeless people outside looked happier! It didn't take long to check in and once done, we were told our room was on the 5th floor number 516... nobody helped us to our room or asked if we needed help. The Room: Our room wasn't so bad to be honest, it was a triple room with two beds downstairs, a chair and a very small TV (plus the kettle and hairdryer). Upstairs was another single bed, a two seater sofa and the bathroom... The layout was odd, it would've made more sense to put two beds upstairs and leave one bed downstairs with the sofa. The bathroom had a lovely deep bath with over head shower and obviously the toilet and sink. There was a soap dispenser on the wall with shampoo and shower gel in it but we didn't use this, we took our own toiletries. They don't give you much tea or coffee, we had just three sachets of coffee and a few tea bags... We took our own supply with us from the poundshop. The floorboards creak badly and you can hear every little thing, next door talking, people outside, traffic... SIRENS, lots of them, all night. Breakfast: We had booked breakfast and it was OK, it was a help yourself cooked breakfast... toast, bacon, eggs, beans, black pudding, sausage and much more. There was also cereals and croissants. The toast was kept warm so it was just like bread and very tough.. it would be much better if they gave you the toast at the table. We tried the coffee on the first morning and it was awful so we just stuck to juice for the rest of our stay. The staff at breakfast were quite rude, watching you until you had finished then grabbing your empty plates even when others on the table were still eating. They were also standing talking among themselves a lot too, there was no interaction among guests. The location: You can't get much closer to the trams, trains and buses... literally 5 minutes walk to Piccadilly station and two minutes to the buses and trams. Shops are very close by and the Arndale is about a 10 minute walk away. Don't be put off by the homeless people outside the hotel, we had no bother with them at all and we only had two people ask us for money whilst we were waiting for the tram. Checking out: We handed over our key cards and said we need to check out.. .the boy on reception said OK good bye. He didn't ask if we enjoyed our stay or if we had any problems. Another point... WIFI is free for 20 minutes ( I think ) then you have to pay, in this day and age, I think that's shocking, everybody needs WIFI now a days. Would we stay here again? I don't think we would, I'd look at the Holiday Inn around the corner which is about the same price. The hotel needs modernising urgently (it looked as though they had started work on the hotel), the staff need to be taught how to speak to guests and be polite but the location is great. Collapse
