March 2025Olivia the guest relations manager went above and beyond for my stay, had a few issue with the wifi and she attended my room and solved the issue. The rooms could be updated however it’s the staff that make this hotel. Nothing was too much of an ask. Olivia is a credit and does everything she can to ensure guest have the most memorable experience in the hotel. Big thanks to her team.

February 2025Level 3: Food was delicious my partner and i both had the Hanging Skewers, I had a side salad of rocket/tomato/ and parmigiana and it was all delicious. Our waitress Heather recommended the highly popular dish and I can say these were a great recommendation. Heather was attentive and served us quickly, she was also very friendly. Definitely will return.

March 2025Stayed for a visit to a friends birthday meal. Hotel is well situated a short walk from Manchester Piccadilly station and even closer to Piccadilly Gardens tram stop. Was warmly greeted by Cheryl on reception who managed the check in process very promptly and efficiently and I was walking into my room within just a few minutes of arrival. The room was on a high floor with great views over the city. Room was well equipped and the bed was really comfy. I had a lovely stay - highly recommend

March 2025Warm and welcoming check-in from Ben on reception. Couple of touch points with reception staff - all really friendly people :) The room I had was a bit worn around the edges but good value for money. Location spot on, main tram station and bus station hub right outside so great base to get around Manchester.

March 2025Hotel was in a great location, staff were super friendly. Breakfast was lovely. Only down side was the room. It was so TINY! We had a twin room, it's so small the beds are together, no table or anything in the middle to separate them. Also the TV didn't work. Rooms just look a little run down.
