Lovely stay, but for a few minor quibbles.
Amazing building, lovely large comfortable bed, and excellent breakfast, but quite a few small details took the edge off the quality of our stay, probably trivial and we wouldn't mention them but considering the premium paid for the room, we expected better… The room wasn't that well sound proofed — coughs heard from the room next door. The keycard, which are obviously reused, was visibly greasy and dirty. Surely they should be cleaned between use? None of the BBC channels worked on the TV (blamed on the weather!), but we did get complementary beers in way of compensation. Thank you. Finally, the toilet paper was a bit on the cheap side: it's all in the detail!

Beautiful room. Clean and stylish
Friendly staff and suite was amazing. Very spacious. Just a shame the water/shower dripped at night and room above (206) was so loud. Tried to call downstairs 4 times to no answer. In the morning when I got through they were kind to give me a late check out due to disrupted sleep.

Good but opportunity to improve
Good hotel. Nice rooms as described online. Service very slow and considering the bar was dead I'm not sure why it took so long for us to be greeted considering we are hotel guests (15 mins we were sat down). Other people also leaving due to service. Such a shame as otherwise a lovely hotel and location.

One night stay
Good sized room with good facilities. Friendly and helpful staff. I only stayed one night. It was just right.
Peter, 1-night trip with friends

6/10 Good

The hotel is lovely but the £50 pre-authorisation that you don’t get told about until after you’ve booked the hotel does not go back into your account. I called the hotel over a week after my stay and they said it had been released back to my account but the money has been processed and is no longer pending in my account so I have had to request a refund through my bank. When discussing this with the person on the phone she continued to interrupt and raise her voice when I tried to explain the money was not pending but instead had been processed as a payment to the hotel. Bad service and a bit of a con.

Not the best
The room was okay. Some lights weren't working. Some sockets were not working. A few things were broken.

Great location
Excellent location for visiting Manchester centre . Few minute s walk from everywhere you’d like to go or a pleasant tram ride away. The room was huge but a bit Spartan. Only one chair, no proper desk or table. No socket for shaver in bathroom. Staff, like everyone else we came into contact with in Manchester, were very pleasantly helpful.

Nice hotel
The hotel is nice and the staff are very pleasant The rooms are spacious, modern and clean. We were situated on the first floor and we found the room too noisy. Not just the usual external city center noise. There was a loud internal noise that happened periodically which we found annoying and ruined our stay
