The hotel rooms, though a little tight to move around once inside, are perfect for solo travelers or couples looking for a comfortable and modern base for travel or work. The rooms are basic yet nice, clean, and overall quite cozy for a single night away. The service is friendly, helpful, quick, and efficient, making it a reliable choice. The location in the heart of the city is ideal for exploring, with comfy beds and the convenience of being close to various shops. The dining options may be a bit pricey, but guests recommend exploring outside the hotel for meal choices. Overall, the hotel offers good value for money, especially with the available discounts and deals, making it a great option for short breaks.

The hotel is in a very central location, perfect for exploring the city with a comfortable bed and blackout curtains, but the rooms are smaller than expected and have a slightly cheap feel. The service was outstanding with lovely and helpful staff, especially Mario at check-out. The dining options were a bit limited and overpriced, encouraging guests to explore nearby restaurants. Overall, a good value for money stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is right in the center of Manchester, making it very convenient for shopping and exploring the city. The rooms, although basic and not as seen in the pictures, were spotless upon our arrival. The service was top-notch with incredibly friendly and professional staff. Dining options were reasonably priced, but with plenty of local choices around, making it less appealing to dine at the hotel. The central location of the hotel offers everything you need within walking distance, including the Arndale shopping center, popular bars, and restaurants.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was warm and cosy, ready before check-in time, and the staff member who checked us in was lovely. The room was nice and clean, and there was ample space to move around comfortably with two people. The service was top-notch, with courteous and helpful staff, particularly the receptionist with excellent knowledge of the city's attractions. The location was superb, close to everything we needed, including a short walk to Salford. The dining experience was varied, with lovely olive rolls, but it seemed a bit pricey, especially for a long stay without breakfast included. Overall, a great value for money.
