Glad to be back, but to a slightly different hotel
Been here before lots of changes since last visit the bar area has gone and rooms have been upgraded friendly check in staff, excellent breakfast even the no pork sausages, room was trendy and comfortable albeit could hear the build up of the morning traffic, great if you have a car bit of a walk to the nearest tram stop.

This hotel was fantastic for the value!
The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful too.
If you’re staying in Manchester and don’t want to break the bank, then I’d highly recommend this hotel. I will definitely look at possibly staying here for future overnight stays in Manchester!

Very average hotel.
Generally nice but no really working space, had ro run shower for 4 to 5 minutes to get hot water. Bed was ok. If this was a travelodge id have rather it good but for a 4 star hotel id have expectes more. Only offers microwave meals on an evening

Overnight stay close to Manchester City Centre.
I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Great value for money. We had a huge room with a kitchenette and sitting area, and a really comfortable bed! Only downside was it doesn’t have a bar, but they are happy for you to bring your own booze in.
