Staff friendly when checking in. You do need a card for them to take a deposit which we did have but often we only use our Apple Pay which you couldn’t use. Hotel easily walkable to the academy or the centre. Car park was a short walk away and easy to find, it did look like it got busy. There was a poster explaining the busy times at breakfast and it was a struggle to get a table after 8.30pm.

we arrived and they taken us to a dirty room, then when we had been given a new room the key only worked once. we had to go down and get them fixed multiple times. then they took our keys off us as the keys completely stopped working so we had to get escorted to the room every time to get into it however they didn’t give us a key for the lights so we were sat in darkness for a whole day. they then told us breakfast finishes at 12 and we come down at 11 and they then have no food out and have packed everything away and they said that breakfast finishes at 10. some staff were helpful however some staff were very rude and judgemental and is not appreciated. we would like a full refund as our experience has been very poor

Disappointing...The room was cold temperature only goes to 19.5 degrees but still felt really cold (January). When using the shower the bathroom gets flooded and doesn't drain away which is a huge health and safety' hazard. Breakfast was mediocre,hash browns were the worst ive ever had,they seemed reheated definitely not fresh or very poor quality same with the sausages,it was an offputting experience. Car parking was misleading as its offsite in a eurocar park approximately 5 minutes walk and still have to pay extra. We definitely wont be returning.The staff were polite and professional.

Room was a little tired and there were no welcome booklet but it was clean and comfortable. However, the breakfast for what you pay is excellent. I’ve stayed in more expensive hotels and had to pay for breakfast that wasn’t a patch on this one.

The property is fine but Manchester's tourist tax for UK tax payers is a rip off. I won't stay in Manchester again

Dear PaulI'm sorry to hear that the tourist tax affected your perception of Manchester. While we understand your frustration, the city has implemented this tax to support local initiatives and development. We hope this experience won't deter you from exploring Manchester in the future, as it has so much to offer beyond this additional charge. If there's anything else we can do to make your stay more enjoyable, please let us know. We'd love the chance to turn your experience around!

Smooth check in. Room key didn't work at first, had to try and good few times for the lock to acknowledge my key. I stayed in room 405 which was a bit tired and in disrepair: tiles missing in the bathroom, light fittings which didn't work and one which had a button missing do it was just a hole in the wall. Breakfast was ok. Lifts were horrendously slow. I'd say this is an ok option if you're staying one night in the city centre for the price but I probably wouldn't like to stay here for longer than that to be honest.
