    Okay for one night and reasonable price.

    Size of the room, it was hot/no fan or air con.

    The location is very good, just around the corner from the coach station, it is also fairly close to the train station. Shops and restaurants nearby. The hotel foyer is okay and there is a lift up to the 4th floor. We were on the 5th so you have to walk up a flight of stairs. We had a twin room and it was on the small side. There are coffee & tea facilities and a TV. The bathroom is equipped with a bath/shower, again on the small side. You can hear anybody occupying the room next door. Staff were okay and the hotel was clean. For one night it was fine. You can get breakfast but we chose to eat out.

    Very dated and not the cleanest of rooms, in terms of hoovering etc. It's ok if you're going out on the lash and you just want to get your head down, cleaner than a Britannia, also the lack of sockets in the room and non near the beds.

    Not far from Piccadilly station and cheap.

    Not the comfiest bed with the best amenities, but it's certainly fine for the low cost.

    It was very cheap and honestly good value for the money, the room was big and the location was great.

    There were very nice bay windows but you could hear everything through them when closed and due to the social location, this would keep us up. The shower sprayed onto the floor due to Morden design but had potential to leak. Carpet was stained and dirty but was barely noticeable as rest appeared clean

    Modern interior with garden theme, modern bathroom. Very nice hotel and location was amazing, very close to bars and lunch areas. Piccadilly’s gardens close by and trams/ transport close.

    The only downside was the single glazing to the windows, so it could get quite noisy as it's a busy city. But the solution was I used ear plugs 🙂

    The room was a very good size and the bed was very comfortable. Excellent shower. The location was excellent for the train station and other facilities.

    Not so much didn’t like it was just a bit hard to get the bath/shower water temperature right it was either boiling or freezing but I’m sure if we asked the front desk someone would have explained to us but we were in a rush as we had a concert to get to.

    Very friendly staff, amazing value for money, hairdryer, fan, tv, kettle, iron and ironing board and extra pillows and blankets already in your room, free Wi-Fi.

    Not much to dislike for the price in central Manchester. However, the carpets in the hallways are really stained and dirty-looking, they should really be replaced.

    The staff were great and very welcoming. Room is comfortable and clean. Great location near the station.
