Weekend trip in Manchester

We chose this hotel because it was half an hour walk from the O2 Appollo. Although the check-in was quite lengthy the accommodation was very clean and the staff very helpful. We enjoyed the breakfast and would recommend it.
Yvonne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel - spot on for what I needed.

Absolutely spot on for what I needed. 11am checkout was brilliant meant I didn’t have to rush the next morning. Mackie Mayor by the hotel is brilliant, food was amazing. Can recommend the steak! Can recommend the suggested car park. I missed the turning the first time but once found it was absolutely ideal.

Weekend break heart of Manchester

Great stay for a weekend break. Hotel in heart of Northern Quarter and so close to many fab bars and restaurants. Hotel was very clean with maid service over two night stay which we didn’t expect. Breakfast was great and kept well stocked up considering how busy they were.

Nothing to complain about. Staff were very friendly. easy check-in. Nice room. Comfortable nights sleep. Great location. Breakfast very good, if not a little busy; couldn't find anywhere to sit straight away but soon resolved.

Room was a little tired, lightbulb in bathroom was out, but the breakfast in the morning was good and overall the price was good value for stay in the city centre
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel although I would have expected a bigger room for the price. Breakfast could also be better - more to choose from. Över to the positive side; all people (reception, breakfast and room cleaner) were nice, helpful and competent. Wi-Fi was excellent as I had several video-meetings in the room. For this purpose the general lighting in the room could be better. Everything in the hotel seemed modern, clean and in good condition.
