What we loved the most is that the hotel is dog friendly! They really made our fur baby feel at home by bringing a dog bowl to our room and a dog bed so that felt really special! The hotel in general has such a cosy vibe, the staff are extremely friendly and the location is in the central of everything! I highly recommend this hotel and will be staying again in the future.

Great stay, the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room did need some TLC as there were a lot of scuffs on the wall and the plastic housing for the room key fell of when you removed the card but for the price in the centre of Manchester it was very good value for money. Breakfast was really nice and plenty to choose from.
