Overall, I enjoyed my time. I really liked my roommates, and the bedding was comfortable. I could feel some of the mattress springs, but I got decent sleep. The host, Peter, was pleasant and welcoming. Despite signs saying to keep doors closed because the heat was on, it was always cold in the rooms and halls. The bathroom never had toilet paper in it, but no one else ever commented on it, so I just made-do. I did not say anything and I accept that. Some nights were noisy because of the bar downstairs, but that's to be expected. I found it easy to sleep through. One night we had some particularly rowdy residents fighting and the shouting was very annoying, but my roommates and I stayed up just chatting, instead. Check-in and check-out was very straightforward, although the getting in part took longer because I was early, called, but did not leave a message. Entry and exit from the building after check-in was very easy. Breakfast was provided for, with a variety of choice. However, you needed to be early, lest other residents eat all the portions provided. That's not the fault of the host; greedy people are everywhere. The surrounding neighborhood was very quiet and felt safe. The bus stop is just a 3 minute walk from the back door and connects to a larger bus terminal in a short distance. The area is farther away from Manchester City Centre, but you guarantee some peace and quiet, if that's what is preferred. I enjoyed my time and would stay here, again.

Scruffy & dirty, as soon as i saw the condition of the building, i wasn't staying there, i was assured by the owner that the rest of the premises had been refurbished and was good but im afraid one look inside confirmed for me, i wouldn't be staying there so i left and had to pay for another hotel

This inn was done to a good standard considering its part of a pub. Unfortunately, as a result of a last minute booking, the host wasnt available to check me in so one of the bar staff let me in but had to wait an hour until the pub opened at 7pm. 3-5pm check in was made clear on the site, however arrived late so its not practical for last minute bookings. The double room was nice, a great size with a sofa so felt like good value for money. Shared bathroom was well kept but shower tray was a little tired. I had a drink at the bar minding my own business to unwind after a busy day but my stay was completely ruined by a customer who was a local. Sadly, the person singled me out and was racially abusive to me (I’m British Indian). Slowly they were becoming more and more confrontational until I was made to leave after being violently threatened if i didnt go. Unfortunately, during this escalation, the bar staff were no where to be seen which left me feeling very unsafe and trapped. I returned to my room and locked myself in until the pub shut following which i left in the early hours to get away. The host mentioned i should have phoned him but quite frankly, it wasnt on my mind considering they weren't about and i was feeling very trapped. The person was saying how he was a gypsy so the last thing i wanted to do was create any trouble for anyone when he knew i was staying there. Id have given top marks but this ruined my overall stay and a shame staff were not about during this

What can I say. I had high hopes. The Host is pleasant. Bar has good prices. Breakfast is there for you to cook and make yourself. Although pans were dirty and no way to clean them. Facilities. Smells of stale cigarettes throughout. Room was absolutely disgusting. Smelled like a dirty gym locker. Walls were soaked and mold is growing everywhere. I was told that it was being worked on but who’s to say when. Guests were inconsiderate. Talking and watching tv into the late hours. The bar is loud downstairs. It carries into the room and had I not had earplugs I may have been more uncomfortable. Bathrooms are gross. Mold all around sinks and showers. One shower wouldn’t power on. I booked for two nights ahead of time. Had I shown up earlier the first night I would have left immediately. Second day I left and found a place cleaner and closer to the city centre.

Does the job, Peter and all the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The room is basic but is equiped with wardrobes, sinks and a comfortable double bed. The smart tv was a nice addition - not many hotels at this price range would offer this facility. Breakfast is do it yourself but the spread was good.

Crap
Booking in a joke bar person no idea wot to do then took ages trying to find key & ended up in different room. Tea tray was dreadful. Tv didn’t work. Live band directly below room didn’t start til 10pm !! When asked for glass to take to room I was given a pathetic plastic cup, not classy Following morning probs with shower & no toilet roll in shared bathroom. Breakfast was a cook it yourself joke. Bits bacon few eggs no juice no decent continental to pick from. Left very hungry , dirty , cold & tired. Even the night before all the drinks I ordered were out of stock. Avoid at all cost

We had a weekend stay and it was very good! The hotel has a pub in the ground floor and they run several activities every weekend! Good option to meet new people. Note that this could mean some background noise very late at night, so if you are looking for a very quiet place to rest, this might not be for you. Our host Peter was very kind, attentive, and available to help us with anything we needed. The hotel is a short walking distance away from a bus station that can take you to the city centre; depending on your destination it could take you between 30-60min (it took us approximately 55min to Old Trafford Stadium). The hotel offers self-service breakfast and has shared toilets and showers in every floor. These areas were always clean which is a big plus!

Nice and cheap stay
We had a nice stay here. We picked it as it wasn't to far from where we were headed for the Manchester comic con, it was good enough for what we needed it for, bed was a bit soft but this is personal preference and we had okay sleep. Was loud on night but your above a pub so expected with territory, flashing lights outside window were distracting when getting to sleep. Chef was unavailable on Saturday morning which happens and he came and explained to us that night and offered a refund for that, which was very much appreciated and we thank you so much for this, i think the chef must have not been in sunday morning either but we had a portable hob and a few things left for us to fix our own in the breakfast area so this was okay. Emergencies are bound to happen so thanks for the explanation on Saturday evening. I'm sorry we didnt mention but i just would like to bring the owners attention to the photos on hotels.com, when i booked the images showed a double room with a tv in and a little seperate sink, im not sure whether this was a little mistake or overbooking of that room type etc but would just not want others to book and expect a tv etc in their room and then complain about it. Saying that we both were not overly bothered since the wifi was great and when we had a busy day we were able to watch some things using our phone. Unfortunately the bin had been missed in the room when we checked in but I understand things can get overlooked when your busy. Good overall, thankyou.
