Hotel has changed its name, we had not been advised of this so walked around Manchester for 30 minutes trying to find it !!!!! And £30 for a G&T and a pint of beer including a £4 service charge, poor in my opinion. Hotel clean and staff were friendly.

Aparthotel room layout and kitchenette with Nespresso, dishwasher fridge, movable tv formats work well. Ground floor and floor 9 reception areas, drinks and food cafe confusing arrangements for payment, to know how to speak to. Room is not sound proofed. Noise of pipes, could hear people coughing, etc. Nearly very good. But bit disappointing on some basics.
