We checked into the room to be faced with a stiffling smell of smoke but didn't want to mention it believing that the last guest or cleaner must have recently had a cigarette and the smell would naturally pass. We left to go shopping and when we returned the room was just as smelly and quite overwhelming. Closer inspection of... More

Recently stayed one night at this hotel on business. It's large, modern and very well located particularly if you need to be close to the central station. it's a formula hotel so lacks any real charm but it seems busy and has a reasonable room rate and the rooms are sizeable and well stocked. Would stay here again on business... More

Pleasant room, excellent shower in the bathroom, polite staff, good car parking facilities, but you could only have something to eat on a Sunday evening at about 11.00 pm if you had room service. How silly is that?

Dear Shirley, Thanks so much for your kind review and for where we delivered for you I appreciate your comments. However I agree entirely with what you have mentioned about our Lounge Food offering and I'm already investigating the matter as there shouldn't be any reason why you should have been disappointed with being able to have something to eat...

What a pleasant surprise this place is, and only 5 mins walk from Piccadilly train station. My room on the 4th floor was enormous - easily twice the size of some of the downtown rooms in plush pads, and nicely decorated with two full double windows. The kingsize bed was very comfortable and the bathroom (bath and large, separate walk-in... More

Booked a last minute overnight break with my partner in a superior room so cheap and obviously excellent value as a result! Arrived an hour early to check in and the room was ready, always a good start. Very impressed with the room, lovely big comfortable bed and fabulous bathroom! Big shower and separate bath, quite luxurious to be honest,... More

Had a one night stay mid week for business purposes and got a free upgrade to an executive room which was superb. Great room to relax in with all the usual amenities and a bath as well as a shower which is a real treat!

Nice and efficient business hotel. Good location. Everything in Manchester downtown can be reached on foot. The spa and particularly the saunas are nice. The room was big and the bathroom too. My room was facing east and it did get quite hot in the late morning. The aircon wasn't working. Parking is next to the hotel in a gated... More
