The staff were friendly .if you want and expect nudget accommodation than this is ok.but our room wasn't clean,it meeded hoovering and dusting and walls paimting.we clean holiday cottages and with a proper clean it could be so much better and thats just a bit of time.we couldn’t get tv to work either,it all had to be signed into but wouldn't work when we tried.they had just started doing a cooled breakfast too which was good.but again the bar area needed a good clean..window frames.roomy bathrooms,nice shower.

Hi Sarah. We have had some issues with cleaning after a staff member departed but we have resolved this now by employing an excellent cleaner with considerable experience and the difference shows. I am not sure what room you stayed in as I have no booking reference but we do have an issue with this being an older building, causing condensation and it's a constant process of redecoration. The TV issue suggests that you were in room 5. It does need the internet resetting occasionally but if you had brought this to my attention, its a very quick fix. Even opening the Home screen causes the TV to connect to the internet and I do usually tell people about this little foible it has, but I obviously missed this off the info I provide on arrival. It sounds like you enjoyed the breakfast, which I am glad to hear. We are going through a lot of changes right now and all your points have or will be addressed once that process has been completed. Thank you for your feedback and I hope you will stay again sometime.

Very friendly place but undergoing repairs due to recent water damage. very relaxed atmosphere not a bad pint

Thanks for your review Steve. Yes, bit unfortunate about the water damage. It was caused by a pinhole leak on the pipe feeding the shower and was very hard to find. All sorted now. We hope to host you again sometime soon, and I'll buy you the next pint ;-)

So glad you enjoyed this. Dee Dee Allen is an amazing young singer and the Irish dancers were a real treat. We are an accommodation venue and its always nice when a guest appreciates the entertainment factor. Thank you!

Hi Jacob. Thanks for your review. We usually do a bit better, especially as our rates include bed & a big breakfast for under 24 a night in small dorms, with everything new, and we try to keep a good house. Would you elaborate on how we missed the mark on this occasion? Thanks - Peter

Disliked: Cleanliness
The place was fantastic for the price and was great value for money. Main improvement would be the cleanliness. The place smelled of alcohol (which isn’t surprising since it’s a pub) and cigarettes, so it would be better if it didn’t. However, the price was affordable and the host was very friendly. I really enjoyed my time here and would book again.

Thanks very much for your review Lily.I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Obviously, we are a pub and can't really avoid the associated smells easily but that said, we do try to use cleaning products with a pleasant odour.

The Oddfellows Arms Not So Odd!
A warm and friendly welcome was in fashion here! If you’re happy with simple style accommodation with a budget price tag to boot then this is for you. Don’t expect grandeur! This venue is more than adequately comfortable with all requirements for your needs and for the price you are treated to an exceptional buffet style help yourself breakfast feast!😃 As a guest you’ll receive 10% off drinks at the bar as a lovely added bonus! WiFi as standard. The next time I’m in Manchester on work related matters as Arnie says…….. ‘I’ll be back!”
